Not sure I follow… fan cables are pretty easy to manipulate/route!
Not sure I follow… fan cables are pretty easy to manipulate/route!
I think what I meant is that the fan would need to go in above the PSU, and the tabs on the PSU bracket seem like it would make it hard to put in anything above. That said, if I were to mod it the same way you have, I guess that I'd have room.

It's worth a shot! You can get the bolts in pretty much any length you need (the longer the better, because you can just screw them further into the bracket). The tabs are definitely a weird inclusion on the bracket. I suspect because the fan will sit significantly higher up than the rails themselves, you won't need a super significant offset.
For posterity (and because I hadn't fooled around in Monodraw recently) here a diagram of the arrangement I came up with:

The bolts drop all the way through the top "rail" holes with a washer above it (optional), then a washer + bolt, loose-fit on the opposite side from the head. These four bolts then get screwed into the PSU bracket to the (same) desired offset—then, you can tighten the nut down to sort of lock the whole thing together.
I put little pieces of flat rubber to have little bit amortization. But now after make all together have problem. PC is turning off and turning off after 5sec. Have you guys any idea what cause this problem.
I reset cmos
Change duble termal paste
Tried to lunch with one memory
Checked plug in connector of pump
My setup is:
MB: AS Rock Phantom Gaming Z390 ITX
i9 9900K 3,6 Ghz
RAM 2x32Ghz 2666Mhz 1.2 CL 16 Corssair Vegance
PSU: Corsair SF750 SFX

HDD: Seagate 3,5' 2TB
SDD: Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB Nvme m.2
WP: NZXT Kraken X62 (280mm)
Even bios isn't turning on, does PSU Fan should be working all the time ?

After thinking about it further I decided to give it a go. Since I didn't have enough room beneath my GPU, I've decided to mount the second NF-A12x15 I had picked up right next to the first one, at the top side of the case. I purchased 1" long threaded bolts. Tried it out and there's not quite enough clearance so I'm going to return them for 1 1/2" or 2" bolts tomorrow. I think with two fans exhausting air on the top of the case and a 240mm AIO, I should have plenty of airflow. I'm not sure if I should exhaust the AIO and run a negative pressure system or not though... would it be better to run the AIO in an intake configuration?
Maybe next time when you play, open a monitoring program (eg MSI Afterburner) in the background and see if there is a frequency throttling due to high temp.I ended up not having enough clearance on the bottom. My radiator is set up as an intake and I have the two 120mm Noctuas on the top, as exhaust. I'll have to post a pic later!
Temps seem great, very low 30's in idle, mid 40's under load. My GPU on the other hand has been getting up into the high 60's, low 70's. Was definitely having some drops in frame rate yesterday. Not sure if that is just do to poor code optimization in the game I was playing or the heat messing with performance... :/

BTW, since you are doing watercooling, is there any reason why you do not use 280mm (vs your current 240mm)? I think the possibility of doing a 280 is one of the highlights of the DA2, which I would take advantage of if I watercool in this case.
I have both cases ghost s1 and DA2 If you take out the filters out the top and bottom temps should be good I had a I9 9900K @5ghz with dark rock TF and FTW 3 1080ti and my temps were goodWell despite this thread being a bit 50:50 on the DA2, I've just ordered a black one.
I'd have gone for a Ghost S1 had they done a 'tall' version but there is no way I could live with those 'hats' and a seam haha.
But all considered the DA2 wins on looks with the glass... it's just gonna be making the airflow work.
I'm going for a near silent air cooled 3950x, 64gb (b550 probably), 2tb nvme, with a 1070 strix oc for now.
Anybody here crazy enough to consider putting a RTX3080 FE into the DA2?
I think the unique blow through cooler style of the FE could work really well with rear intake NH-U9S and NF-A12x25 side exhaust.
Pretty clear and unrestricted air paths.
Like this setup from @bubbl3 which has been shown to perform very well: https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/streacom-launches-the-da2.7598/post-130832
