DAN A4-H2O: ASUS TUF 4070 Ti

[@johnny_duke]

Why doesn't this channel have more subs? This is clean.

[@poweredbychris]

Thank you sir. Much appreciated. I haven't been at this for very long, but really enjoy making these videos.

[@chriskautz3245]

Nice to see a 4070ti in a build .. Seen so many that use Radeons as the power cables are easier to route and no 16 nvidia pin Poor video as lot of wiring routing missing etc , no fitment of psu etc . Just a general outline. Appreciate the time you took

[@SmithyPupp]

Nice work and thanks for posting! Is there any resonance/turbulence noise from the GPU fans with the side panel on, under load? Scanned the comments here but couldnt see it asked! I've seen other people have issues with other slightly narrower cards like 63mm.... so assume this one would too!

[@lungenbrötchen]

I also put the Asus 4070 ti super in this case. If you spent some time with the cable managment it is a perfect fit, there is just enough space so it wont touch the side panel. Until it reaches about 60% load everything is fine. Sure you will hear it but it's fine. After that it is very loud, in fact it is unbelievable how loud this otherwise almost silent card will get. And it has nothing to do with the card itself, it is the side panel. As soon as you remove it, you hardly will notice the card even when under full load. I'm looking for a new case, just build it a week ago, but I'm unsatisfied with the noise on load, until I find something new, I remove the side panel while gaming. If you want to use this specific card with a heavy load and you want to run it silent or low noise, this case is not for you.

[@Majigk]

Cool build! I am curious how you fit the 12 pin adapter, and if you have any issues with it.

[@poweredbychris]

Thank you. No issues with the adapter other than slight bend in the cable. Only requires two 8-pin pcie power cables

[@rodneycastaneda6979]

We need a benchmark video. I’m buying that same card but with a 5800x

[@poweredbychris]

Good idea. Any suggestions on programs to use? I was thinking cinabench for cpu and maybe running the benchmark in cyberpunk for gpu like some other youtubers.

[@benjamindumez]

Does anyone know if there is an AIO for the Dan A4 that does not have RGB? I tried the newer EK basic dark 240 or whatever its called but I did not like how tall the pump was on the CPU and the small budge in the side panel. Any alternatives?

[@poweredbychris]

Check out thermalright and id-cooling. They have some basic non RGB aios

[@chriskautz3245]

I have gone with the NZXT Kraken240 ,, no RGB

[@iamme788]

I had to take the two screws out to detatch the riser cable to get this to fit, did you have to do the same?

[@poweredbychris]

@@iamme788 yes

[@SaphirsKanal]

Pitty the best information is missing: do you get the case proper closed with this to high GPU

[@poweredbychris]

@@SaphirsKanal this a 3.25 slot card and is the absolute max. Yes you can close the side panel flush but this depends solely on how your aio tubes are routed. They must go up and over the PSU instead of under. I believe gamers nexus mentions this in his video. Some people complain about noise levels but I don't have an issue with noise or at least it doesn't bother me because it's to be expected with something this compact.

[@SaphirsKanal]

@@poweredbychris thanks for youzr information, that helped me a lot 😃

[@Rojex]

How is the temp with the MSI MAG CORELIQUID P240 AIO so far. I’m going to build the exact same build but with the i7 13700kf and Strix Z690i.

[@poweredbychris]

Pretty Solid. Idle 24°C Load 76°C. I replaced the fans. I wouldn't use this AIO though in this build. The pump is in the radiator and not the the cold plate that attaches to the CPU so the the life span will take a hit. I have the PC turned vertically so that the pump is at the lowest point

[@carsonjohnson7659]

Hey one more question: i just ordered all the parts for my Dan a4 H20 build! I ordered the thicker asus tuf 4070ti as opposed to thinner models such as the eagle or ventus. I mainly did this becuase I liked the look and build quiality much more over the other options listed. I know that it will be much tighter and right tagainst the panel as you have shown. Do you think it is fine to go with the asus tuf model as opposed to thiner 4070ti models? Are you happy with the fitment or do you wish you would of gone with a thinner 4070ti?? Thanks for the viedeo my build is almost identical!

[@poweredbychris]

I like the asus tuf one better. Just personal preference and it comes with 2 hdmi ports. Im happy with the fitment though it I could be better. Its really going to depend on the cooler and the tube routing. Originally routed the tubes down and under the power supply but that put to much pressure on the end on the card, so you will have to at least run one over the power supply but I recommend running both over for no issue. The tubes on the msi cooler are pretty thick. GL!

[@carsonjohnson7659]

Thanks for the reply! Super pumped should be able to build here in the next 2 or 3 days and I’ll let you know how it goes. BTW the quality of your videos is great and makes for a great watch. Hope to see your channel grow keep it up!

[@commanderzavala5421]

@@carsonjohnson7659 how did it go? Did the TUF card just fit or were there any issues?

[@carsonjohnson7659]

@@commanderzavala5421 Yes it fits. just make sure you run the AIO tubes above the power supply. There is zero clearance but I think it works great. The card runs super quiet even under full load and the tone of the card matches the case. would recommend its just a tight fit.

[@carsonjohnson7659]

@@commanderzavala5421 Let me know if you have any additional questions man and I can help you out.

[@delaneygaming582]

nice upgrade... such a beefy graphics card!

[@poweredbychris]

Sure is. I was scared it wasn't going to fit.

[@alensrc.777]

...never shows the other side panel being left open due to GPU:p

[@poweredbychris]

The panel sits flush just fine. There may be slight pressure due to how my aio tubes run, but it all depends on the aio and how tubing is routed. A 3.25 slot card is the max for this case. Gl

[@Shokeilive]

are you able to close the panel and it not be bowed on the 4070ti side? you didn't show that side.

[@poweredbychris]

Yes. But it all depends on the thickness of the aio tubes and how they are routed. They need to be routed up and over the psu instead of going under.

[@commanderzavala5421]

Looking at swapping my gpu with this very same one but I am using the EK Basic 240 Rad. Will tube routing over the psu be possible with that so I can fit this gpu? Also will custom cables be better for fitting in this gpu or are the stock Corsair ones just fine?

[@carsonjohnson7659]

corsair cables are fine they are just gonna be packed in at the bottom of the case. and yes the tube routing is possible that what I did with a asus aio.

[@carsonjohnson7659]

Are you just using the stock fans that came with the Msi aio? Purchased the same aio for the same case and wanted to confirm it fits.

[@poweredbychris]

Yes, but I'll eventually swap them out.

[@blindman8093]

were you able to fit the side panel in the gpu side? is there a little gap between the gpu and the side panel?

[@poweredbychris]

It all depends on the tube routing on the aio. It wouldnt fit when routing the tubes down underneath the psu. So i routed one of them over the psu then it fits while just barely putting a bit of pressure on the side panel. If i routed both tube over the psu then there would be none.

[@3verness]

Is the graphics card fan noisy when closing the side cover?

[@poweredbychris]

not at all. Cpu fans from rad make more noise than the gpu

[@3verness]

@@poweredbychris Thx! Nice build.

[@lungenbrötchen]

Yes they are. If you put your gpu under full load, it gets loud. The card is too close to the side panel, they cant run silent, you will hear the air getting sucked through the holes. You won't notice it that much until 60%, but after that it is night and day if you remove the side panel during operation. @poweredbychris would you mind making a short video of your gpu under load while the panel is closed. To minimize the noise we would need around 5 additional millimeter (tested it) but there is no way you can get them with this card in that case. Its silent to a degree on moderate load, but if you hit the 80 to 90% like with Helldivers2 in 1440p with super sampling, and everything maxed out, forget it, you literally feel like you are in the warzone.

[@TMDCrysis]

Nice looking rig. Do you happen to have an reddit thread on this matter?

[@poweredbychris]

Thank you! I do not sorry. I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have though.

[@TMDCrysis]

@@poweredbychris no problem friend, just consider getting yourself a page so that you could let other people know what are you into atm. There is a quite big sff community there that are starving for content like this. P.S. I'm building a SFF pc myself, just waiting for the cpu to arrive. Do you happen to know if there are any place where I can buy the black panels for Lian Li A4-H2O? I have the silver version, but I kinda want to have the option to swap panels whenever I'd like the black ones. P.S. 2, I also considered TUF 4070 Ti, but I'd rather go with 4080 just for the extra power. Next question is... Do you happen to know if the TUF 4080 size are the same as 4070Ti? Thanks you!

[@poweredbychris]

@@TMDCrysis Good point. I'll definitely get on that. I don't think they sell the side panels by themselves. You would have to contact Lian Li directly. As far at size difference the 4080 tuf is bigger. It would not fit in the dan a4 though. Too long.

[@javierulloa6657]

Hows the temp plzz im thinking of a similar build but 12700 non k

[@poweredbychris]

Idle: 32° Load: 72° - Mines overclocked as well

[@arvindvenkatraman4482]

Just to confirm, does the side panel fit over this gpu?

[@poweredbychris]

Yes it does. May take some finessing with the aio tubes. With the aio I used I had to reroute one of the tubes over the psu. Look how its routed at the end of the video before I put the panel on. Its best to route both that way if possible.

[@DmitriyMc]

Is it possible to put air cooling on i7 13700k? I don't want water cooling.

[@poweredbychris]

Of course you can! You will want to go with a larger one though like the be quiet DRP 4 for example. GL!

[@DmitriyMc]

@@poweredbychris Seriously? But height in case up to 55mm

[@DmitriyMc]

@@poweredbychris drp 4 163mm...

[@poweredbychris]

​@@DmitriyMc Sorry I was just talking in general. For the dan a4 you would have to use a low profile cooler like the Noctua NH-L9i, but I would NOT recommend this as it won’t be enough to cool the cpu at max. Ide recommend the dan c4 case for air cooling

[@DmitriyMc]

@@poweredbychris too bad. Without water cooling no way

[@umpalumpa6651]

Is the case closing perfectly with the 4070ti TUF?

[@poweredbychris]

The fitment is highly dependent on the cooler. The end of the card was being pushed out by the tubes when I ran both down and under the psu. I was able to get it flush by running one tube down and the other on top (check tube orientation at the end of the video). I'm putting out a short vid on this soon.

[@umpalumpa6651]

Thanks for your reply!! My tubes are aligned on the side of the cpu, so it could fit for me I guess. How much millimeters of space do you have between the graphics card and the side panel of the case?

[@poweredbychris]

@@umpalumpa6651 its right up against the edge of the frame

If you can shove a TUF 4070ti (3.25 slots)... does that mean I can shove my Palit 4070ti (3.2 slots) ? ? ?

Check what the length is. The max gpu length for the dan a4 is 323mm. The palit appears to be 328mm long? Not familiar with those graphics cards.
