dyonoctisVRM wise Buildzoid was pretty satisfied with the current offering, if you are going high-end you get 10 phases at the minimum, and the mid-range got 8 phases.Buildzoid's VRM analysis of the various mITX boards was indeed reassuring. The new V3 edition features quality Lian-Li components including a new PCIE 3.0 riser module,optional AIO mount for CPU water-cooling support with both a 92mm and 120mm radiator configuration plus mounting points for theHDPLEX 400W HiFi DC-ATX. 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.

We believe SFF computers are the future for PC builders – whether you like it or not – and expect to see more and more PC builders turn to the mini-ITX form factor from ATX and look to build smaller, compact systems with equal performance to ATX systems. The actual availability of those boards is atrocious though. AusWolfI'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.Yeah, that's what I'm saying.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. So at first you have to search for the guidelines that match for you product. For a computer case that has no hardware inside the guidelines are: In spite of the diminutive size of the case, there is sufficient room to install a full size graphics card. The graphics card is installed parallel behind the mini-ITX motherboard in a separate chamber and this means that virtually every single square centimetre of space inside the DAN Cases A4-SFX is intelligently used. All images and descriptions are for illustrative purposes only. Visual representation of the products may not be perfectly accurate. All specifications are subject to change without notice. Although we endeavor to present the most precise and comprehensive information at the time of publication, a small number of items may contain typography or photography errors A number of creative ideas were needed to create the case. Using a PCIe extender allowed for the most prominent design feature of this case, which is the location of the GPU behind the motherboard. The A4-SFX will come with the highest quality PCIe extender on the market, made by 3M, which allows for PCIe Gen3 and Gen4 support.

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. While Real Temp offers excellent and repeatable temperature results, we employ a REED Instruments SD-947 Data Logging Thermometer with four K-Type sensors that have been placed as closely as possible to the benchmarked areas of the CPU, GPU, M.2 SSD, and motherboard chipset. A fifth sensor is used to monitor the room temperature for an accurate delta T result. This case is still unique and awesome many years after the first revision. It's a work of art and design. Great quality too. Made me a LL fan as well.

Customer review "A4-SFX V4.1 Mini-ITX Gaming Case - Black"

Other than that, I agree - configurable TDP is probably the greatest invention in modern CPU technology.

At this point, if you really want a tiny PC, it's a boatload easier to just accept that the flagship/halo CPUs and GPUs aren't aimed at mITX any more. 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. I don't want to make a new thread, so I thought I post it here. Because I am on the last steps to bring the A4-SFX to market I had to deal with laws that need to fulfill to sell a case in the EU. AusWolfThat's the thing. The air dumped into your case should move, otherwise, it's just gonna be recycled by your CPU cooler, which affects silicon temperature as well. Sure, it won't kill itself, but throttling can be an issue.Yes and no. Define "throttling" :D The temperature isn't really an issue; Both Zen3 and Zen4 have silicon health agents which (outside of faulty Asus BIOSes of late) will keep the silicon at healthy long-term temperatures. They're going to run hot, yes, but still within limits and the actual amount of heat dumped into your tiny mITX case is never more than the PPT, regardless of the temperature.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. The case allows for easy mounting of either SFX or SFX-L power supplies. The PSU is located in the front of the chassis.
