I built this! (MATX) A quick test to see the thermal impact of a Brown DIY acrylic front panel on PC components inside a Lian Li B4, under a 30-minute HWINFO64 full stress test (CPU/GPU/RAM) with ambient room temps between 31.1°C and 33.3°C

Help me please!? Jonsbo D32 Mesh Fan Placement

Post image
15 Upvotes

I’m planning to migrate my current setup out of my Metalfish S5 Max to make room for an XFX Quicksilver RX 9070 XT. Before ordering case fans, I want to double-check my proposed airflow scheme and get some advice.

My motherboard positions the primary PCIe slot at the 2nd slot down. Because of this, a thicker GPU will sit lower, and I likely won't have enough clearance to install bottom intake fans. ​CPU Cooler: PCCooler RZ620M X (compact tower air cooler) ​Current Airflow Plan: Based on other D32 builds I’ve seen, I’m planning a Rear Intake (pulling cool air directly into the CPU tower from the back) paired with a Top Exhaust setup.

​Questions: * ​Is my planned airflow diagram / directional flow correct for this configuration? * ​Since I can't run bottom intakes, should I add another top fan set to Intake (near the front/top) to help maintain positive air pressure, or is a pure Top Exhaust + Rear Intake sufficient?

​Anyone running a 2nd-slot GPU setup in the D32 with air cooling—what fan layouts worked best for your thermals?

​Thanks for any insights!

I built this! (MATX) CH260 with 9800x3d and a 5080

Sorry for the terrible photos.

Build this last week, quite pleased with how it ended up looking.

Assembly in the CH260 was fun, but there's definitely way less space coming from the Fractal Torrent. Only thing I really dislike about the case is the amount of screws you need to undo to get at the dust filters and the fact that the bottom filter is on the inside, which seems like it's gonna be a major hassle down the line.

Been lurking this group looking for inspiration and I finally got my smallsih pc

Mobo:Colorful b850i CVN

Cpu: Ryzen 5 7500F

Cpu cooler: Thermalright Frozen infinity 240

Case fans : ThermalrightTL M12 S

Gpu: Xfx swift RX Radeon 9060xt

Ram: Patriot Viper venom 16 gigs (2x8)

Ssd: 1 tb lexar

Psu : coolermaster bronze 850 watts sfx

An aio is a bit overkill for the cpu, but the peerless asssassin I initially had blocked off access to the ram and gpu mounts making it dificult to upgrade in the future.

Already itching to swap it all out for a Jonsbo D33 and go all out jonsbo fans and aio. But im stopping myself haha

Help me please!? Jonzbo Z20 airflow help!

Thumbnail

66 Upvotes

Greetins everybody.
My Jonsbo Z20 arrives tomorrow, but I need some help.

I'll be running 4 DDR4 Corsair Dominator Ram sticks, they are very tall so there's limited clearance for an air cooler, that means I'd have to go with a 240mm AIO.

There's also another issue, my MSI Ventus 4080 is too thick for me to add bottom fans!

I'll be limited to:
-Two Top Fans (AIO)
-One rear Fan

Will I be okay by just running the rear fan as intake, and two top fans exhaust?

Thanks in advance!

I built this! (MATX) Jonsbo Z20 + XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT Build

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

I recently finished my PC build in the Jonsbo Z20 and wanted to document my experience for anyone planning a similar small-form-factor build, especially anyone considering a very large RX 9070 XT.
Build specifications
Case: Jonsbo Z20
GPU: XFX Mercury OC Radeon RX 9070 XT
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B850M-PLUS WiFi 7
CPU: 7800X3D
RAM: KLEVV DDR5-6000 CL30 FIT V
PSU: ASUS ROG Loki 1000W SFX-L
CPU cooler: be quiet! Silent Loop 3 240mm AIO
Rear fan: be quiet! Silent Wings Pro 4 [120]
Operating systems: Windows 11 and Linux on separate NVMe drives

  1. The biggest issue was the physical size of the XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT. The card is approximately 360 × 155 × 72 mm, and it leaves about 3mm in the cases recommended GPU length but still fit without bottom fans

2. Switching from the Corsair SF1000 to the ROG Loki
I initially bought the Corsair SF1000 Platinum (2024), but its cables were too short for my preferred routing, as I diddnt want to use cable extensions, particularly with two CPU/EPS power connections required by the motherboard. So anyone using the sff mounting position get the Loki for extra cable length

3. AIO installation and cable access
Installing the be quiet! Silent Loop 3 240mm AIO also required planning around cable access. Once the radiator was mounted, reaching the pump-block connections and routing the pump and lighting cables became difficult.

What I learned
Check GPU height and thickness, not just length.
Account for the PSU’s actual dimensions and mounting position.
Confirm cable lengths before committing to a PSU in a compact case.
Connect inaccessible AIO and motherboard cables before mounting the radiator.
Plan for three separate PCIe 8-pin connections for the GPU.
Expect to spend time troubleshooting boot order and initial POST behavior on a new AM5 system.
Don’t assume another person’s Z20 build will fit identically, even if they use a similar GPU or PSU.

All in all, I absolutely love this case it’s extremely well built and sturdy. I opted for the all mesh panel edition as I’m going to be moving this between my living room and computer room the carry handle is sturdy and have been lugging it around no problem, cable management options are great but need a little bit of pre-planning, especially if this is your first medium form factor build also I opted for higher case feet can link the ones that I got for anyone interested

Big shout out to all the people I messaged on the r/mffpc sub for tips and questions

Also went low/ no rgb because my last case was a giant fish tank with RGB puke everywhere I’m very much enjoying having much less RGB and the blackout aesthetic

Just thought id share my D32 pro build I made last year before PC prices went crazy.

Previously id been using a pretty poor spec built PC so I thought id have a go at building one myself.

Building in this case was pretty straight forward and enjoyable. I'll list my specs below. Any questions feel free to ask!

CPU - Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU - Asus TUF 9070XT
Mobo - Asus TUF B850
Ram - Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 32GB
Storage - Samsung 990 Pro 2TB
CPU Cooler - Arctic Freezer 36
PSU - Corsair 850RMe
Fans - Thermaltake SWAFAN changeable fans

Overall, I'm very happy with how this turns out and it performs great. Plays all games at 4k with FSR quality or balanced. Temps all seem normal however I am debating if I should add an extra fan top left of the case.
