Oh boy. What's the plan?
CPU Cooling:
As already mentioned, the maximum installation height incl. fan is only 48mm. This measurement refers from the top of the CPU to the sidepanel.
Interested too, of course
edit... With noctua ? Tell them to buy black plastic for their fans. Or pink, or green, or yellow... Whatever you want... But not brown !
in an old thread dondan said:
and in the "Nexus Low 7000 R2" mod image, the height after the mod will be 49mm !!
I would wait for zen at the very least. also, anybody tried an lp53 with slim fan combo yet on their case?
Ok so I finally finished building my dream pc (with RGB everything, even the desk!)
Rig:
Intel Core i7 6700k @ 4.4Ghz
Cryorig C7 CPU cooler
Gigabyte Z170N-Gaming 5
32GB G.Skill Trident Z 3000Mhz
Titan X (Pascal) Overclocked
DAN a4-sfx case
1tb Samsung 960 PRO m.2 SSD
Corsair Strafe RGB
Corsair MM800 RGB Polaris
Razer Mamba
I'm very happy with this case, I can't believe that you can fit all that power inside a shoebox sized case, and at lower temps than my old NODE 202 case!
The C7 does sound horrible when the fan is going all out though, sort of sounds like a handheld vacuum cleaner, i'll replace it later this week.
The Nexus is nearly end of life and is hard to get it, so i thought about developing my own heatsink.
The heatsink will be very similar to the Nexus, but with more heatsinks and the option to mount a 120mm fan under it. It will include a bracket to shift the fan if you don't have low profile ram. I think about Noctua as manufacturer.
Will be somebody interested in something like this?

I wonder if the C7 was extremely starved for air with the old fan.Swapped out the C7 for the NH-L9i and it's much quieter, practically silent.
Haven't got the exact numbers but it also seems to running up to 10c cooler than the C7 which seems a bit odd.
Running with a i7 6700 (65w) so unless your using a K version CPU I'd imagine it would cover most use cases.
Also would definitely be interested in a Dan cooler, would happily pay in the £100 range it it could cool a K series and stay cool quiet.
Can you share a video of the C7 going all out?

50mm is max but for example the thermalake apx-100 muscle at 52 mm is too much.in an old thread dondan said:

how is it possible to fit it inside the A4-SFX with the side-panel closed like these photos ?
"A4-SFX with "Nexus Low 7000 R2" mod photos"
Sure, here you go:
Idle fan speed = 930rpm
Then i did an instant jump to
100% fan speed = 2500rpm
Then i put the side cover on and did the same
No idea what the dB's are as i don't have the equipment to measure it. But the high pitched spinning when the side cover is on sure is annoying
Receive de my case today.
Thanks Dan for your work.
I was t willing to start my build now, but after seeing the case, it s quite hard to refrain from ordering all the part!
I have the case and the nexus cooler.
Not sur if the cooler will work with the asus strix MB.
Thx again Dan, looking forward for this bestpoke cooler
could you possibly share how you set up RGB LEDs in the A4-SFX case?
looks great

Sure, I bought all these things:
http://**************/2kpKH1G
http://**************/2kpPjoN
http://**************/2l8p3U1
I put the main unit in the drawer of my desk to keep it out of the way
But i needed to extend the connection to the pc with:
http://**************/2l8tpe7
http://**************/2kkigHn
I got the sticky tape into three long lines, put them on the inside top, side (the inside of the front of the case), and inside bottom of the case on the gfx card side.
Then i cut the plastic sheath off of the LED strip (saves loads of space and is easier to bend without the sheath)
Then i stuck it onto the tape and attached a connector to the end and hung that out of the back of the case (that gap above the gfx card comes in handy!) and connected that to the extension wire.
The main box for the LED strip has 133 effects built into it. You can also attach two strips to the main box, i have one in my desk and one in the dan case, i'm not sure if you can control them individually though.
It was really easy to do, I installed the LED strip before i installed any of the other components.

Better in terms of performance and noise as well?The axp100h with buttom fan will only work with window kit. I already test that mod. The nexus is better.
TLDR If anyone plans to go with Cryorig C7 with the A4, don't do it! Buy Noctua L9i and be happy!
Today I swapped my C7 for the L9i and it really is night and day difference. At first I thought my system would not even POST, it is that silent. In idle you have to press your ear against the case to hear it.
Under load it gets audible, but it is barely louder than the C7 IN IDLE. Even the temps are, well, acceptable. They reached 85°C with the C7 aswell as the L9i, only that the C7 sounds like a jet engine.
Don't get me wrong, the C7 is a nice cooler and it served me well for half a year in an ATX case, but with the distance to the side panel so close it creates a horrible convection noise.
Anyone with the Corsair SF600 that think it's noisy? Mine is really loud under load.
DittoSo uhh anyone looking to buy a BNIB cryorig C7?
Can you please not embed 20+ MB images?
