This one is smaller and has
- 280 radiator support
- two hardware layouts in one case (sandwich and classic)
- a less stealthy design
- you can flip the internal chassis 180° - bottom will be top and top will be bottom
Introduction
After a long time of silence I like to introduce the redesigned C4-SFX. The name comes from the German envelope norm for A4 papers so it is the big brother of the A4-SFX.
This case is the fusion of a traditional hardware layout and the sandwich layout. The list of features is long...
Sorry I was very unactive on this thread the last years because the community has moved to "smallformfactor.net". Here are some answers:
I work on a new product C4-SFX https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/dan-c4-sfx-update-28-06-2020.12329/
There are no plans to change the A4-SFX. While...
Today I tested the PCIe 4.0 compatibility with all A4-SFX generations and here are the results:
Windows 10 crashed with a blue screen directly after the boot logo on the v3 and v4 risers. Only the 3M Twin Axial riser was able to handle PCIe 4.0.
I made a 6 hours benchmark run through...
ezeftw:
I have the feeling you have the same problem like this guy on your board:
https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/abnormal-idle-temp-i5-8400-nh-l9i-65c-avg-w-asus-z370i.7342/
For this guy the solution was to rotate the heatsink 90°. You could also try to use the boxed heatsink to...
XstreamHard For the Z390-I you can remove the big I/O cover. For this mod I recommend to use the Black Ridge with Noctua A12x15 fan and VLP Ram. Than the fan will push air to the motherboard and the power regulation area so you need no heatsink on it.
Van0: Great result. How much affect has the fan duct on the results? Did you tested pull vs push? Can you confirm that the black ridge isn't matte black painted annymore? Now it is more like black nickel plated?
oblongpolygon: I do not change the size of the case so the specifications are the same and also the compatibility. Please refer to the changelog section under specification on dan-cases.com to see what I changed. All outer parts are compatible on every version. Only for v4 the USB fron cutout...
I updated www.dan-cases.com with all information about the A4-SFXv4. Furthermore I updated the tutorial section under FAQ with some helpful guides.

Jandresen: Yes it has 20pin
darxder: The Corsair Dominnator is too tall so you can't fit the tubes of the Asetek 645LT. Furthermore there is no need to buy the Asus X470 the B450 is more than enough. The temps on the 2700x with the Asetek should be very good.
Aegelward: Sorry we do not offer...
DanielOS96 Yes it will come to overclockers in May. On SFFLab they started preorder for v4. They will get the new pictures on weekend so they can update the page.
Maybe I have a crazy idea. What whould you say if I make everything possible. This means C4 sandwich layout + classic Layout in one case, support for all GPUs up to 3 Slot in classic layout and 2,75 Slot for sandwich layout. Support für big heatsinks like Noctua C14 or U9S and 240 AIOs. This...
C4-SFX - Compatibility Survey
Hi there,
with this survey I like get some answers on hardware compatibility, hardware layout and planned builds.
This survey will not affect the outer design of the C4-SFX. It will look like on the picture above. Core features like I/O on top, optional window...
Hi guys here are all changes for A4-SFX v4
- ADT 185mm PCIe x16 gen 3 riser
- USB 3.0 Typ-C to 20pin intrnal header (90% confirmed)
- changed to the drive bay so it will support 15mm thick drives
- added thread for easy installation of custom window kits
- adding 92mm fan support under the...
As you can see it s more than dual slot:
Please read the compatibility section:
https://dan-cases.com/dana4_spec.html
max width: 40mm to 5mm backplate
Asus RTX 2070 = 51,6mm (https://www.asus.com/de/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-RTX2070-O8G-GAMING/specifications/)
Maybe some of you know that the A4-SFXv4 will get a new riser cable. This riser cable is very price attractive and in the same price range of two hard risers. So I like to discuss if you are interest in using the A4 hardware layout for the C4. (GPU behind the motherboard).
Compatibility...
Setup "Max Long Power Duration" in UEFI and set it to 95W then your CPU will not boost higher and the temps will be much better. But keep in mind Prime temps are not gaming temps. If you have 94°C in Prime gaming temps will be ~ 70-80°C
They use two layers of ribbon cables (similar to old ide cables). Between the layers and around all layers the use shielding foile. For twin axial you have two single wires sourrounded be shielding + connecting shielding to ground layer. So no they do not use twin axial.
Li Heat will work too, many cases use these cables, but the attached datasheet is so wrong. A ribbon based cable with only sandwich shielding can't be better as twin axial shielded cable. Twin Axial has no crosstalk and a grounded shield that absorbs noises. They did a wrong power calculation...
