Hello Everyone!!! Got a 3080 FE in my Dan A4...


I'm new here, but I've been a fan of SFF PC's. I have a Dan Case A4 V3, started with a 1080ti FTW3, then 2080 Super, and NOW... 3080 Founders Edition!!! Here are my specs.

Gaming PC (aka ShoeBox):
MOBO - Asus ROG Strix Z370-I
CPU - Intel i7 8086k (Delided and all cores clocked at 5ghz)
CPU Cooler - Asetek 545lc
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 (2x8GB)
GPU - 3080 Founders Edition!!!
Case - Dan Case A4 v.3
Monitor - Asus VG279QM 280hz & Asus PG279Q
Mouse - PC Gaming Race Glorious Model "D"
Keyboard - Corsair K70 (Cherry MX Brown w/ dampeners)
Headphones - Philips SPH9500
DAC - Sennheiser GSX1000
Mic - HyperX Quadcast
Cam - Sony a6000

I stream on Twitch. I streamed the GPU Swap/3080 FE Install on 10/22/20, check the vod link below. The struggle was changing the orientation of the PSU and reorganizing the cables... BTW I also have a 3090 FE, will be doing another build with that soon!!!

Kinda long, Bad camera angle, no real planning, but I got it done! I was just excited to slap her in.

There are errors with your Twitch feeds. Question, did you reverse the PSU so the 3080 exhausts into the intake? I have seen others try this and have stability issues due to the PSU overheating, have you had the same problem?

Yes, that was the long challenging part. Arranging the cables and making sure it doesn't hit the fan blades took the longest.
