I'm going to be building a new system in an A4 SFX and I wondered if anyone here can clear this up. I've heard people go both ways as far as whether blower or open-air cards are better in that case. Is there any empirical data on which is better?

I have a strategy for the CPU. It's not going to be cheap, but it's proven. I'll have to look up the model later but there's a really good copper heatsink that comes with a fan too big for the A4 but with a little jiggery pokery or some 3D printed brackets you can mount a slim noctua fan on it.

Stickman posted:Height is also a concern in a lot of ITX/SFF cases, and tall cards MSI's Gaming or Ventus series will have issues with connector clearance even if they fit fine in length and width. You shouldn't have to worry about that with an H210, though! The easiest way to make sure a model will fit is just too do some googling and see if anybody has put it in your particular case and posted the results  Tell me about it.

I love my sentry, but unfortunately it is perfectly unsuited for the new 2080 due to that flow-through fan blowing straight into a metal plate. I wonder if cutting vents in the back of the case would work.

If anyone is interested I have a Dan A4 V3 that I really need to sell. I switched to a Dr. Zaber a while back.
