About this deal

Daniel has also thought through the practical aspects, such as cooling, connections and power supply, to make sure the DAN A4-SFX V3 is easy to setup and use. In a reversed setup, where the AIO moves to the GPU side next to a conventional SFX form factor power supply. This reduces the length of the graphics card to 173 mm and the height of the AIO including fan to 42mm. Those who can do without two SSDs have room for 92mm AIOs on the ground, such as the 545LC from Asetek. To effectively protect all vents from dust, DEMCiflex provides optional DAN Cases A4-SFX Dust Filters. As I know many of the products that sell by startup over crowdfunding aren’t registered and have real CE declaration with test report, because they think we aren’t located in the EU so what could happen or they don't know these laws. But this could be a problem and destroy your company faster as you can look if a person will be hurt by your product, a bigger company like Silverstone, Lian Li see you as a competitor or a lawyer wan’t to earn money by serve a notice to you. I can only recommand deal with the laws of the countries where you like to export, because every succesfull company do this.

You should be worried about the heat dumped into the case if you're running a tiny cramped mITX shoebox with restricted case airflow. That heat gets absorbed by every other component in your PC and is directly related to how noisy your case fans will need to be. mITX builds are most often vanity builds that sit right up on the desk next to the user, so noise levels are even more critical than in an ATX desktop where it's further from the user and more of the noise is bouncing around and being absorbed under the desk. Without trying to patronise, silicon temperature isn't related to how much heat is dumped into your case by the CPU, it's the power draw in Watts. A 15W CPU can run at 95C and a a 230W CPU can run at 60C and yet the hotter 15W chip will result in far, far lower case temperatures because it's only the Watts that are transferred out of the heatsink. If anything, a CPU operating at much higher temperatures is able to extract greater efficiency from the cooler because the larger temperature delta between the air and the heatsink results in a faster energy transfer from hot metal to cool air. In other words, more energy is extracted by the cooler for the same amount of fan RPM and noise.I'm not worried about heat dumped into the case. My point is that with less surface area, you need a more capable cooler with more airflow to keep your silicon temperature low. The case allows for easy mounting of either SFX or SFX-L power supplies. The PSU is located in the front of the chassis.Inside, on the right side, a Mini-ITX format motherboard can be accommodated, on which a CPU with a maximum48 mm high processor cooler can be installed. Flat top-down blower coolers are completely sufficient for cooling due to the ever decreasing TDP of processors. A riser adapter redirects the PCI-Express x16 slot of the motherboard to the left side of the case, where up to 295mm long graphics cards can be installed. The riser adapter is from 3M. The A4-SFX case is a one-man project with the goal of creating the smallest case possible while still using high-end standardized components, such as Core i7 processors and powerful full-length GPUs such as the GeForce GTX 980 Ti.

The case has been optimised for cooling, with both side panels, as well as the roof of the case have been designed with large air vents. These ensure that all other components are supplied with consistent airflow and that heat is efficiently exhausted. The bottom of the case has been specially designed with elongated air vents to ensure optimal airflow. New for the third revision is the option to mount an AIO panel so that the CPU can be water cooled. To protect all air vents from dust, DEMCiflex provides optional DAN Cases A4-SFX Dust Filters Without trying to patronise, silicon temperature isn't related to how much heat is dumped into your case by the CPU, it's the power draw in Watts. A 15W CPU can run at 95C and a a 230W CPU can run at 60C and yet the hotter 15W chip will result in far, far lower case temperatures because it's only the Watts that are transferred out of the heatsink.

In other words, more energy is extracted by the cooler for the same amount of fan RPM and noise. The result is a unique product that is much smaller than all competing cases. This case is perfect for SFF (Small Form Factor) enthusiasts, those who need a highly portable system, developers who require a case with a smaller footprint due to limited desk space, and gamers who want a high-end PC experience in their living room. A Rzyen 7 7800X3D and compact, dual-slot 4070 is about the most I'd want to try and shoehorn into an mITX box. By the time you're adding triple-slot GPUs to an mITX board, there's enough wasted space under the GPU that you didn't need to compromise on mITX in the first place; There's almost enough room for a micro-ATX board - at least in this perpendicular GPU layout.Every component is able to cool itself by getting fresh air directly from the outside. Hot air in the case will move to the top and then outside without the need of an extra fan. This principle works perfect and results in an amazing cooling efficiency compare to other cases.
