You Cant get that fan in 3pin e.g. FLX version but only pwm
Oh right, the A9x14 is only available as PWM. I already replaced the fan on my SF450 but on low load the fan just turns for a few degrees and stops (on higher load everything is fine).
And this is freaking me out, so I wanted to know if other people have the same behaviour.
That is normal, the issue was detailed in the SF600 thread.
There are two solutions,
1) If you are using the PSU header then use a NF-A9x14 bundled with the NH-L9i cooler. It won't have the same issue.
2) Just use a motherboard fan header
Might as well post my build here
Specs:
core i7 6850K OC'd to 3.9Ghz
32GB RAM OC'd to 2800Mhz
GTX 1080Ti
2x5TB HDDs
1x500GB NVMe SSD
1x500GB SATA SSD
Corsair SF600 with Noctua mod
I have used Dynatron T318 with a Noctua 2.5W fan as the CPU Cooler. I am getting great temps imo, 55-58C idle, 73-75C Gaming(Mass Effect Andromeda, Assassin's Creed Origins) and 85C AIDA64.
GPU Temps are 40-42C idle and 83-84C gaming/stress. This is an improvement over FE which went till 87C.
40mm fans for exhaust
This is a GTX 1080Ti. I wasn't happy with FE temps and noise so I replaced it with a EVGA SC heatsink and 2 Noctua 92mm slim fans.
92mm fan for intake.

My build is very similar, except it's in an NCase M1. I have a 6800K OCed to 4 GHz with a 120mm AIO (I don't see the value of the 6850K here, it's not like you can use the lanes?). And I also have the Seagate 2.5" 5TB HDD, except I use it externally as a travel drive. They are 15mm, how did you mount 2 of them? It looks like you have a single drive under the PSU, or is that two?
You'd really benefit from the 92mm AIO if you're willing to put those HDDs in an external dual-drive enclosure.
Great job on the graphics card mod, it looks like you can tighten some of those zipties a bit.

They're both definitely under the psu. How the second one is mounted I can only speculate, but it looks like he might be using a bracket screwed to the side mounts on the bottom drive and the bottom mounts on the top drive, with the whole assembly attached to the bottom of the case via the bottom mounts on the bottom drive.
The CPU was first in an Ethoo Evolv with dual GTX 1080. Then I moved onto the Ncase M1 and now onto the Dancase. Not willing to give up HDD space
I have 2 drives under the PSU. the hard drive cage allows you to mount 2 drives.
Can't tighten the GPU fan zipties because they are under the fan and it won't go further. IK it looks it will but it really won't. Anyway, I am waiting for 92mm fan clips now and will be replacing the zipties soon
The hard drive cage easily allows you to mount 2. The top is attached to with the bottom screws, the bottom is attached to with the side screws and the cage is attached to the case with the cage's feet.

Great job. How did you connect fans to VGA? One of my VGA fan is abnormal. So I want to do that for my 1080 FTW. It can be disassembled fan cover without break guarantee seal.
Yea you can take off the shroud. I used this

Interesting decision to move to the A4-SFX from the M1, considering you clearly need lots of HDD space, you need to cool a 140W CPU, and you modded your GPU cooler to be quieter. In the M1 you could have done all 3 much better. This is why I chose the M1 for my system frankly, because of my X99 CPU and potential for HDD expansion. I get why you'd move from the Evolv to the M1, but why take the extra step to the A4-SFX? Do you need as portable a system as possible with a 1080 Ti? Or just an SFF enthusiast?
Anyway, please do post pictures of the GPU with the fan clips, I'm curious how it turns out.
Yea I travel internationally with this build and thus need max mobility. Also, I like stuffing big things into small spacesInteresting decision to move to the A4-SFX from the M1, considering you clearly need lots of HDD space, you need to cool a 140W CPU, and you modded your GPU cooler to be quieter.

On a similar note, I gave away my M1 v5 for $50 for my mate's build we built together.

The Ncase stacking brackets attach to the side drive holes, due to the 15mm height the second set of holes will not clear the top of the drive. They are designed for 2 X 7mm.
What if I used 2 or 3 of them

Never seen the cage, so I didn't know that. If you got another cage could you stack them, or do the screw holes not line up?

i7 7700k
cryorig c7 with 3d printed 120 mm fan adapter
You're right, I can do another if I just get a 2.5" cage, I wonder where I can buy one

What brand / model keyboard, is that? ... I'm looking for a tenkeyless board, and that might fit the bill...
Oh, and great cable management, by the way! I have a Silverstone, and want to find replacement modular cables, just to neaten the cable situation.

omg, I love the black duct on this CPU cooler!
Where can we get this thing?
Or... is it home-made?

Look like this one: Phobya Shroud
I think it was used to keep the fan in place,
but seamon knows a lot more about it!

Uhm what are the temps of i7 8700 with a window kit+air cooler? Anyone with this kind of set up? I plan on grabbing a i7 8700 non k with a Cryorig C7 copper (supposedly released this March) then undervolt it as I don't want to delid Thanks

Cryorig C7, a new copper version will be released later this month. I rephrased my earlier post.
It's a TriC 75, a custom kit sold from a group buy a year ago.
I don't think there's any way to buy the kit now other than buying a used pre-assembled one, if you're lucky.
The switches are 65g zealios and the keycaps in that picture are EnjoyPBT blanks.
I'm using DSA Carbon keycaps now though, less muted, more IN-YOUR-FACE.
If you're interested in a similar looking one that's available now though, KBD75 is a popular choice.
or if you don't want to assemble and solder yourself, there are some from Drevo and Vortex I believe.
Those are just 92mm fan gaskets
It's to make sure the fan intakes air only from outside the case and does not recycle it

How high is the gasket?
It's 92 wide / long, I know that much... but how high are they?
No worries if you don't know or can't really say. (The website linked doesn't specify either, but am grateful for the link anyway, thanks.)

For anyone attaching an NF-A9x14 to an LP53, here's a somewhat tidier way (IMHO) than what I've seen so far:

Nice – that's very clean.
For mine I used loops of monofilament fishing line. It's strong, nearly invisible, and minimizes contact with the copper.

good idea but why worry about the copper, its stronger than the plastic. looks-wise I get you point but thats subjective.

The development is done. But currently there aren't enough boards for this connector. Furthermore I think 90% wouldn't use this port because the standard for USB sticks or headphones is the Type-A port.
My Asus Strix Z370-I Gaming motherboard has a USB type-C connector at the rear, but functionality of it is very limited. It doesn't support power delivery and it doesn't have DisplayPort functionality. So I think it's still too "soon" for USB-C on motherboards, if it's not backed by a Thunderbolt3 chip, you can't really do much with it, so I don't understand why people are asking for it. If it is just to charge your phone you might as well use a wall-charger. I can't even connect a Asus portable screen with USB-C connector.
So yeah, I believe dondan has made the correct choice.
