DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

D10S said:
In the end, the best fan to put down the case is the:

Noctua NF A9x14

Yes, it's a pain to mount, you should be VERY DELICATE withe the raiser, you have to extend at maximum...
And you should be SUPER VERY DELICATE when screwing motherboard in place...

you are doing it at your own risk, I do not take any responsibility, man advised !!!

Did you have any problems with the fan blades scraping the bottom of the case?
 
building my setup and using the cryorig c7 idle fan runs around 1700-1800rpm but when i put side panel i get alot of noise/hum from the side panels... any idea how to fix this maybe a filter of some sort?

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.

So there are some available? Would you be able to sell me one?

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.

Agree. It will take a compelling need for a high-bandwidth, do-everything, single cable... perhaps the next generation of VR headsets, if they don’t go wireless or standalone first.
 
QuantumBraced: Currently no prototypes exists only a technical drawing of the supplier.
dglow: No Type-C is only the connector. USB3.0 = USB 3.1gen1 and the fast one is USB 3.1 gen2. Some modern smartphones have a Type-C connector with a USB 2.0 controller chip behind it. A Type-C port say nothing over the speed. Due to Apple everyone think Type-C means USB3.1 gen2 + Thunderbolt 3 and Power Output. And this is the reason why I never would add a Type-C plug without the new USB3.1 gen2 internal header (Key-A-20pin)

If I take a look in my crystall globe I would say the new Key-A-20pin header will not be the standard on ITX boards before 2020.
 
^^ indeed.

Laptops on the other hand are completely different, most of the recent laptops have a thunderbult/USB-C type port.

Maybe not standard, but I wish I could utilize mine. :/
 
Is the dancase in black fully anodized? like the outer case and the frame inside? im going to have my case powdercoated soon.

I bet there will be one next year. I mean that literally, anyone wanna bet?

If I'm not mistaken, that's the same header Asus has been including on some of their boards since last year. They remain the only manufacturer to do so, though. Currently, that's only two ITX boards with the header (one of which isn't even Gen 2).
 
Is there or will there ever be an option to purchase just the window kit somewhere? I missed the kickstarter and purchased from caseking and only later realized that the window kit is not sold separately anywhere. I'm having a bit hard time closing the side panels due to aio tubes and the extra space from window kit would be fantastic.
 
Hello good people!
I have Corsair SF600 in my DAN case. All parts of system are very quiet except this PSU. Are there any quieter PSU's that I can use?
Thanks!

Are you sure there's not something wrong with your PSU? I haven't noticed any noice coming from my SF600

I think that is the same header that Asus used, first in the Z270 and now in the Z370. The one in the Z370 is a 3.1gen2 header if I'm not mistaken.

You should replace the fan with a Noctua A9x14 fan, you can buy an adapter from moddiy or plug the fan to an available MB header :)

I wouldn't go around advising people to mod power supplies. Don't fuck with that if you don't know what you're doing.

If you buy this case and can build your own computer in it you should also be qualified enough to unscrew the 4 screws and plug out the corsair fan and put in the Noctua fan in the SF600 tbh...

I think most of the concerns are about the PSU Caps retaining charge, just discharge them by repeatedly pressing the power button before opening it

I wish this bullshit would die off already. One batch at launch was noisy, and one of them made their way to Tomshardware, ergo ALL SF600's are noisy forever...

I absolutely agree. I've been running my SF600 in my V1 case for such a long time and it powers a 7700K/1080Ti and here's the number of times I ever heard my PSU fan at all: ZERO. I've been saying SF600s are silent, period, many times, regardless of any reasonable load. But still this myth perpetuates. People still keep going and gimp themselves losing 150W of headroom and just to save 15 bucks or whatever and justify it by saying the SF600 is noisy. Jeez
 
It is as if people with a noisy SF600 don’t read or understand what is said in this thread: a Corsair PSU that is not dead silent even under full load has an issue that is 100% covered by it’s 7-year (!) warranty. Contact Corsair or your seller and your PSU will be replaced!
 
I contacted cryorig again, to see if the Cryorig C7 Cu ed. Was on schedule (late march)

Here is the respond:
“Hello Seb,


Thank you for getting back to us. The estimated releasing time of the copper C7 is a little bit delayed, still in status of quality control.


Regards,”

Prob wont see a release before april i guess
 
Oh my goodness that cooler is delayed forever. Good thing I'm still waiting for zen+ before starting my build (deciding between 2600x/8600k).
 
Still hope for a release within the next 2 weeks but its doubtfull we’ll see it there :(

thanks for this, I wanted to wait until april before I ask again, as last time I asked them they told me march (a few months back) - I really hope it is released before any new AM4 mITX Mainboards I might wanna get are released (going to buy the 2700X) :D
I don't want to wait forever to finish this build, especially as I am switching to the DAN C4 with watercooling as soon as it gets delivered (i guess next year?) anyways ^^
 
You're losing shots jenosmaverick ! :ROFLMAO:
I managed to put it on two Sundays ago!
It is not easy, you have to be very careful,
with riser of course!
the biggest risk is especially for the motherboard!
Several people have assembled it, not just me! (y)
 
D10S Am just starting build up a pc since i've been with laptops for a decade How's the temps compared without the fans under the mobo? Slight or huge decrease in temps? Thanks :)
