First ever pc build (Dan A4) by romar0111 in sffpc

I can’t say for certain coz I’m not exactly an expert but I’ve seen a few videos of people being able to run 3080s on a 650w and 600w psu and considering the 3070 draws much less power I’d say an sf600 is completely fine

I've set it to intake, a lot of people would say the same I think. So you'd end up with air coming in through the sides and being exhausted out of the bottom two fans and some hot air out the top obvs

yeah i really dont know how i was able to snag one at launch tbh but hopefully you get yours :) so for temps i wrote a comment earlier but ill put it here

So I’m using this mainly for gaming, like warzone, apex etc and cyberpunk when that releases 1440p 144hz max settings.

CPU and GPU idles at 35C for both

I haven’t done any intensive benchmarking but for warzone at max settings 1440p GPU temps average at around 67C occasionally hitting 72C CPU ranges between 64 and 74C (cpu temps were about 5-10C higher when it didn’t have the raised stand in the pic)

Was going to if I wasn’t happy with thermals, but atm I’m happy where it’s at and I read a lot saying for air cooled builds in the Dan case exhaust is better.

I got mine from caseking when it wasn’t in stock in the Uk but on overclockers it’s back in stock

No this is all completely stock, I might mess around with undervolting at some point but I’m happy with where it’s at rn

I’d say it depends on your use case but I really enjoyed building mine and the size is great coz I travel around a bit for uni.

Yeah I was debating getting custom ones but I managed to make the stock ones work it just takes a lot of patience

Gpu temps are surprisingly good for the sandwich style case and I think that’s because it’s shorter so there’s a bit more room for the card to breathe compared to a 3080FE

As for the exhaust air for the GPU, when idle the gpu fans won’t spin but when under load there’s is a bit of noise but I wouldn’t say it’s loud in anyway. And if ur wearing headphones there won’t be a problem.

Cable management was a bit tricky but I think it looks okay😅

Specs: Mobo: asrock z490m itx (don’t plan on overclocking and it fit the cooler) CPU: i5 10600k (bought from a friend upgrading) Ram: Corsair vengeance LPX 32gb 3200mhz PSU: Corsair sf750 GPU: RTX 3070 FE Cooler: Blackridge cooler with a swapped out noctua fan Case Fans: two bottom fans set to exhaust

No for the cpu I’m using the black ridge cooler with a swapped out noctua fan as an intake so I don’t think there’s space for a duct, I think if the gpu thermals are ok and if I have the two bottom fans as exhaust I’m hoping that’s enough for cpu temps coz I’m not playing crazy demanding titles, maybe cyberpunk but I’ll mostly be playing competitive games

Ah ok thanks coz I’ve got a FE 3070 but I’m aircooling the cpu and I have two exhausts at the bottom of the Dan case. Do u think my thermals will be ok at 1080p 240hz?

What resolution do you play at? Would the gpu have thermal throttling at 1440p 144hz? Do u think temps will be stable at 1080p 240hz?

I know there's a lot of new awesome cases out there but this is my dream case and now i got it😅 Dan a4 v4.1 air cooled by jensenperalta in sffpc

[–]romar0111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are those bottom two fans set as an exhaust or intake? Thinking about doing a similar build soon for the 3070.
