Lian-Li A4-H2O Black SPCC/Aluminum Mini-ITX Computer Case, PCI4.0 Riser Card Cable Included - A4-H2O X4 BLACK

Product Information

That’s because the GPU is now in a position to draw in fresh air from directly outside the case, so the flow-through exhaust has more space to blow into, and that warmed air is immediately pulled out of the case by the CLC. The upper area where the radiator and fans sit measures at roughly 275mm long, 132mm wide, and 58mm deep. Compacting the components this close together leaves the user with very limited areas to shove or tie up cables. The power supply itself does not expose its rear panel on the back of the case, unlike most conventional chassis.

AIO, Went with the Msi Coreliquid P240 since I didn't want to overspend on the AIO, mostly didn't see the benefit in going with anything above it because I was switching the fans out and it ended up fitting perfectly. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . The top edge of the board is barely accessible with the radiator and fans in place, but that can be mitigated by leaving the cooler out or not fastened in place until finished with the motherboard. From what I've seen of SFF builds the fans are almost always intake except at the top where it's exhaust. As we get into this, keep in mind that our goal with ITX reviews is to review only the case, so we're analyzing things like the impedance caused by the panels, the airflow path, and the compactness of the components affecting thermals.Initially it was rather disappointing, but once the latest driver was installed it was quite impressive. Once it’s in there it takes up almost all of the available space in such a way that makes us think the size of this cooler was a critical dimension during the design process. As with gaming you're going to be hard-pressed to see the difference between the two in the real world. Seen here is the only position in which this particular closed-loop system’s radiator would fit, due to the hose length and stiffness, along with the plugged-in end of the power supply extension cable.

The "front panel" ports are located at the leading edge of the A4-H2O’s left side, and include both a Type-A and Type-C port connected to proper Gen 1 and Gen 2 header cables. At 11 liters of internal volume (a measure the SFF crowd also likes to toss around), the A4-H2O consumes just a 5. Nice would have been an HDD activity LED as any system inside this chassis will almost certainly be purely SSD-based.We saw a case, and we'll see if they come to market like this, where they were electing to not count an additional 1 inch protrusion out the back because it wasn't part of the structural case, it was just a hard drive cage or something.
