Hi everyone!


I recently bought Dan Case A4 and overall I'm really happy with it.

However, I might have problems with temperature.

My setup is following:

- Intel i5 11500

- Black Ridge with default fan

- AsRock h570m-itx

- Adata SX8200 2TB M.2 SSD

- Crucial 2x8GB 2400 (I plan to upgrade later to 2x16, low profile if possible)

- MSI nVidia RTX 2060 Super Armor OC

- LED strip in bottom corner bellow gpu

- 2.5" HDD 750GB - an old drive that I just use ATM, will be removed after I buy another 2TB SSD


Here are the temperatures after running Prime95 for one hour:

CPU goes to even 85°C for now at max, but it might go even higher after few hours.

MBO temps are weird as well, but it might be that MBO doesn't have good sensors.

I didn't catch time to test GPU, but I noticed even in normal load tasks I get a temperature like 80°C, sometimes it looks like CPU Fan have some delay before it increases fan speed.

Also, I noticed the difference in temperature with open (maybe 3-4°C less) and closed case.

PS. I live in an area where is currently 20-30°C in the air.


I plan to buy Noctua fans, maybe replace the fan from the black ridge, put it below MBO, and place Noctua instead (on CPU). I also assembled the cooler twice as I was afraid I did something wrong in the first place, but it wasn't the case.
