Lian Li has updated the Dan Case designed A4-H20; now called A4 H205X. The primary change is that it now features a PCIe Gen 5.0 riser cable, as opposed to the previous 4.0 unit. This effectively doubles the bandwidth available to GPUs while ensuring users are getting their maximum performance from it.

The A4-H20 was designed as a successor to the Dan Case A4-SFX. The A4-SFX dates back to the earliest days of enthusiast SFF case design, and was the first to use the sandwich style design. The A4-H205X is the updated version featuring larger GPU support, and more modern design aesthetic, and most importantly, 240mm AIO / radiator support for modern power-hungry CPUs.

Pricing on Amazon is currently $154.99.

 

For those interested, Dan has posted updates on the case since development began on the Small Form Factor Network forums. You can check out the case thread by clicking HERE. 

One interesting note from the long-running thread is that Lian Li has updated the cases PCIe riser cable before, without the input of Dan Case. If users have the H205X model, let us know your thoughts on the cable design.

From what I’ve read, it took a while to work out signaling issues with PCIe 5.0 risers. Of course, that could be just a cover story for saving money on PCIE 4.0 units at this point.
