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

The temperature is not good...(playing Witcher3). GPU is maintained at 60-70 Celsius degrees. But CPU is over 90 celsius degrees in realtemp.
So I have several plans to lower the temperature.
I will come back with detailed temperature data when I get a payday^__^

What specs? Honestly the fact that it works at all is nuts, especially with the gpu at those temps. How high do you have the fan running? And as someone else asked, did you delid?

Yeah, superbuy is a middleman for taobao shopping worldwide, if you want to have an easier time. They order for you, have the package sent to their warehouse, send you pics of the package like above and can help you pick a number of courier companies to ship to your location.

You can order directly off the taobao seller using google translate if they offer worldwide shipping too.

Nice, it took 2 days to ship from seller to warehouse, so pretty speedy so far.

oh you didn't want the one with graphene? I will be ordering mine next week I got unlucky and my card is full :eek:

Nah I wanted the original copper. Not sure about the benefits of graphene coating. No one has properly tested it on heatsink yet, but I am very curious about it though.
 
I just wanted it all black XD

From the posts of other 8700k owners they delided it first then went with noctua and add multiple fans or aio. 8700k just runs pipping hot.
 
Just recieved pictures from Taobaofocus, for the Cryorig C7 Cu, but this is not copper color?

You seem to have ordered a graphene coated c7, which is a service a taobao seller called grey whale sells. The fan is white with white sleeving, so I'm guessing it's the c7 cu coated in graphene, not the regular c7.
The only way to be sure is to scratch some graphene off and see what color the fins are inside, I guess

How much did you pay for it? Regular price is supposed to be 369 RMB.

One seller is selling 2 options of the C7 Cu, pure copper and copper with graphene coating. Till now there is no advantage or disadvantage known. I found the first test in this chinese forum https://www.chiphell.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1840437&extra=page=1&page=1&mobile=2. What I read is that the C7 Cu performance 1-2° better than the AXP-100 and is rated by 115-130 TDP. A seller is also selling fan clips for mounting a A9x14.

The main problem will be the fan noise/turbulence. For this I think we need to lower the Mainboard 2-3mm and use fan duct of 6-7mm. The highly maximum of the Dan A4 is 50mm for CPU Cooler (48mm is with 2mm secure range.).

Ye i see, i just did some research and some sells it in graphene coating, but is that trustworthy it could just be some shitty painting... And there is really no evidence for the graphene to work as, ppl claim grahpene-copper coating to dessipates heat 30% higher than normal copper...
i see i did buy the graphene version of it, tho the seller had copper pictures on his sellpage on Taobao :(
 
This time i purchased it from Superbuy, lets see if Taobaofocus or superbuy is fastest, Taobaofocus already received the graphene version from the seller in china :)
 
That case is not an A4 is prob a chinese knock off,
But he dont have the pure copper version of this cooler.

Ah yes I dunno if graphene had any effects at all.

Edit: how much did you pay for the c7 cu w/graphene? price is currently inflated prolly due to demand.

It's an issue with the power button, not the psu. You put the power sw cable in the wrong way, flip it around so the power sw text is facing the ram.

No nothing change.

It’s the first time for me or nothing Happen. Maybe the ram is hs. I switch them but nothing.

At this time my brain is out.

Try jumping the motherboard manually with a screw driver. If it still doesn't start then its definitely not a power sw issue.

I doubt it's a psu issue because the leds are on, but you could try testing the psu by connecting a fan to it with molex and jumping the 24pin with a paperclip to see if the fan works.
 
Ok my psu is ko. I don’t have the 12v. The fan don’t turn.

I wait now the corsair 600w and i turn back the be quiet psu.
 
Repurposing my parts from the Node 202, and just received the Asetek 545LC and wires/plugs for custom non-sleeved white PSU cabling.
Just waiting for v3 to arrive next month :D

Got a DSLR camera, will take pictures once assembled.

Can someone who has the Asetek 545 and a Noctua A9x14 recommend me some screws that work with the fan and res? Thanks in advance.

A switch like that will work either way, it justs connects / jumps the pins it is plugged onto.
 
Is the actual metal of the black Dan case solid black all the way through?
As in, is the black layer a coating or the colour of the metal?
 
Not to disrupt the very interesting subject of new all CU coolers, but I've sent in my submission to the dan a4-sfx HoF some time ago, but gotten no confirmation on whether or not my pictures has made it into Dan's inbox. Should I send the pictures in again or is it completely normal to not get any response (even in form of an auto reply)?

Thanks in advance

And oh yeah, the email adress which I sent the pictires to was info@dan-cases.com
