Is anyone planning on running an amd build? I will have a never used nh-l9a without the nf a6x14 fan. All accessories and untouched thermal paste included.

It's been my impression since the start of this thread that the case is designed around using a blower-style GPU cooler so as to minimize internal case temperature as much as is possible.
I also afraid that the hot air will be dumped in the Case with a non reference design and increase temp on Cpu and more hot air in the Case with aftermarket Gpu.
A slower M.2 is still nice insofar as it's less cables. Makes the Strix very nice as you can potentially eliminate the need for any SSD's whatsoever with two m.2 slots.
Dont get a GTX 1080 blower style... wtf
Wont go for a Intel 600p either, its not that much faster then a normal sata ssd and u could reuse a sata ssd in another pc/laptop
If u go m.2 then do it right.
GTX 1080 (MSI, Evga etc, not ref) + M.2 Samsung 960 Evo 500Gb + Noctua L9i
What exactly is doing it right? is the M.2 960Evo 512gb worth it at 50% more expensive than the intel 600p?
Hey so just wanted to ask for advice before going ahead and making the big purchases for this build. It's been a while since I completed my last build and this is quite a niche case that I don't want to mess up!
Monitor: 27" 4k LG27UD88
The build is for 3d modeling and CAD. The case seems perfect from a size perspective - need to be able to carry it about a lot. Any and all opinions are welcome!! Main concern is that everything works well with the case and performance isn't hindered.
Can you not eliminate the need for a traditional SSD or HDD with using a single M.2 drive?
here is A4-SFX being made
such a coincidence to actually find this)))
EDIT: OMFG there are so many points in the video where you can actually see A4 ....
The WD blue m.2 comes pretty well out of the tests price/performance wise, I'd consider that one too. The blue 1Tb is in the 12th place in Allyn's big ass list in this review (note, there are more of these big ass lists in the same review, in some the blue is much lower in the list):50% more expensive and you don't see 50% added realworld performamce gains. The drive is impressive but it is too expensive for what you actually get. I bought my 1TB ssd because I got it for a steal. Other wise I would've grabbed a slower drive. The intel 600p drives don't perform at their rated speeds consistently so they aren't as good as they seem. It is still a fast drive though.

multiple parts of the video but possibly clearest one is at 2:30 in video.Where do you see the A4?

GPU: Gtx 1080 Founders Edition (Blower style cooler)
SSD: M.2 Intel 600p (512GB)
I am not sure about the Blower Style GPU and I don't seem to be alone in this thread. I have a Strix 1080 already.
I you don't have it yet I would wait for comments from users in this thread when system are built.
This was something which mainly seem to have been started by Linus and I don't really trust those guys when it comes to technical stuff...

uhm dude, there are several videos already which compares blower and non-blower GPUs in different kind of cases (atx, itx,etc ). mostly for mini itx cases, blower style coolers are preferred because it vents the hot air out of the small restricted airflow case,
unlike the non-blower which only spread the heat inside the case. Though the non blower gets better GPU temps, but makes the other components warmer. i think dan already have tested it and posted it in the thread.
The CPU and motherboard are isolated to their own compartment from the video card. The cooling configuration of the video card will have minimal (if any) impact on the CPU and vice versa. Given the nonexistent empty space inside the case, and also how close component fans will be to the vent holes, open air coolers are going to perform better in this case than blowers.

Less fan/heat sink space on the card too. I'd assume it would be hotter but we'd need to see some tests.Maybe to early to know, but would using a mini 1070/1080 card (which creates more empty space) negatively affect temps?

I've decided not to build my DAN-A4 (black) so will be selling it. I'm UK based and it's due to be shipped any day now. UK buyer preferred, may ship to EU. PM me if interested.
where about are you in the uk? would be interested if i could pick it up*SPAM APOLOGY*

linus lp cooler review ... c7 l9i engeine 27 etc..
Not right now, but the Asus Z270I will have two and be released in the next weeks.Are there any ITX boards currently that have 2 M.2 slots? I'd hate to have to run a sata power just for 1 drive![]()

There's always the €1200,- 960 Pro 2TBAre there any ITX boards currently that have 2 M.2 slots? I'd hate to have to run a sata power just for 1 drive![]()
Also it's kabylake-x/skylake-x. Anyway english is not my first language bro, sorry.Here comes the grammar police, X299 ITX should be the successor of X99 ITX, not predecessor.
