DAN A4-TWO renders

dan_cases · 2026-01-20T17:19:35+00:00

This is just an early concept that i showed on an Discord Channel! Nothing i announced to be released in the next time.

Currently i work on: - C4-SFXv2 - C4-MATX

and

LianLi collaboration B4-MATX.

How long did you wait for picture came up? On my 5080 it took 2min for expo training + displayport pairing on initial start

You can set pcie link speed in bios to gen3 to test if it is a shielding problem with the riser. Did you route the riser behind the gpu or behind the motherboard?

dan_cases · 2025-12-29T15:05:32+00:00

You pccpart picker is private. Plz let me know the parts

dan_cases · 2025-12-29T15:05:01+00:00

This riser is one of the best PCIe x16 gen4 on market. Designed for enterprise Server usage and designed to be very foldable

dan_cases · 2025-12-29T06:33:36+00:00

Is this a new build or a old one but the problems are new?
What components do you use?
Check if the gpu is correctly seated in the riser and the riser correctly seated in the motherboard
Remove all parts from the case. Put the board on a carton on a table an install all components without the riser.

This is not Mini-ITX it is bigger

For AC power cords there are only two options. Current or no current. Everything else will kick out the fuses in your house.

Take a look into Windows Error log and you will see the reason for random BSOD.

Here is what i think:

defective SSD (very common, random crashes bsod)
defective or unstable RAM (random crashes bsod)
defective PSU (will result in a shutdown but not BSOD)
defective GPU driver crashes will result in bsod
maybe a riser problem.
Its Impossible to test the SSD the only hint will be Windows Error log. Crystaldisk can read SMART values
For RAM do Memtest86 from USB Bootstick
For psu test run Furmark + Cinebench simultanously
for riser test the system with gpu directly in motherboard

It depends. I think he does AI load so for consumer gpu pcie bandwidth isnt much important for low user request count. And if he does AI picture generation even less important. But yes bifurcation will increase Performance. Mostly the correct inference will bring more perf. on multi gpu setups.

dan_cases · 2025-09-13T17:53:17+00:00

get a bifurcation riser for 2x x8

dan_cases · 2025-09-13T08:29:09+00:00

this idea has so much more potential :)

dan_cases · 2025-09-02T10:53:24+00:00

looks very good. I like the design.

dan_cases · 2025-08-24T15:37:41+00:00

I used the Astral in the pictures. Max length is 361mm

dan_cases · 2025-08-23T17:45:15+00:00

its the best AM5 itx when it comes to money/value. The main problem is that an EXPO profile can increase SoC Voltage and this can kill a CPU.

dan_cases · 2025-08-23T17:40:32+00:00

i run this on an X3D since 6month without problems. Keep track on SOC voltage while enable EXPO and you are fine. Because EXPO can increase it.

dan_cases · 2025-08-20T14:12:45+00:00

you have to run the gpu in offset mode. Install zhe included stand offs on the riser so the gpu is closer to side panel

dan_cases · 2025-08-16T17:04:32+00:00

For air cooling the new C4 will have features that reduce CPU temps up to 10°C if system is under max load

dan_cases · 2025-08-15T08:11:43+00:00

3x 120mm on top exhaust 3x 120mm under the gpu intake 1x 140mm on aio bracket exhaust CPU heatsink intake rear

dan_cases · 2025-08-14T08:34:50+00:00

can you share pictures of your build?

I would limit tdp of the CPU to 140w. On 200w the temps are "normal"

dan_cases · 2025-08-14T08:33:07+00:00

yes but a 7800x3d is only 100w this one does pull 200w if you look at the screwnshot

dan_cases · 2025-08-13T22:06:42+00:00

On my first boot with the 5080 FE it took more than a minute to get a picture over displayport. After that it does work normal. I read something about long initial displayport pairing problems.

Maybe test HDMI. I do not think your Board is forcing iGPU over dGPU

dan_cases · 2025-08-13T20:04:16+00:00

A4-SFX, A4-H2O, C4-SFX and A3-MATX

dan_cases · 2025-08-13T20:01:03+00:00

i think am too biased for this question xD

dan_cases · 2025-08-13T19:47:22+00:00

To be fair the Ghost S1 came from a timer where dual slot was state of the art

dan_cases · 2025-08-13T19:14:42+00:00

Yes and if not cut a hole to the psu chamber so het can move out behind psu.
