Time for me to share my Jonsbo D32 PRO rebuild

Coming from InWin 301, I decided to rebuild during the holidays. The specs aren’t super flashy, but I wanted to share as I spent a lot of time on small details. I am very happy with the final result.

Specs

Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro P

Ryzen 5800X (lapped, PBO tuned @4.7GHz)

32GB Crucial Ballistix (4x8GB dual rank Micron Rev E tuned @ 3800 CL16)

RTX 3070 Strix (OC 2100 core 8000 mem)

WD SN850 2TB

WD Red 4TB 3.5 hard drive

Corsair RM650x (Rev 2018)

Corsair SFX sleeved cable kit, cable extension for the CPU power

The mighty Noctua NH-D14, with a thin layer of paint and a refreshed NF-A15 Chromax (16-year-old cooler BTW)

Noctua fans

Turing Smart 9.2-inch screen (I still need to edit a custom UI)

Notes on the build:

Great attention has been given to cable management. The objective was not to do something perfect where everything is zip-tied perfectly in place, but to do something functional where every cable is at the right length and routing is as optimized as possible. I manually deleted the pigtail connectors on my PCIe cables. I did a custom SATA power cable with the leftover cables from the pigtail cable, the connector from the Molex cable, and a SATA connector I had.

Did a custom hand-soldered RGB line that starts at the bottom of the mobo, splits, goes to the top of the case, at the bottom back and the front. I have another run that starts at the middle of the mobo that gives underglow to the CPU cooler. IMO, it’s a good middle ground between a sober blackout build and a classic ARGB build.

Other small things:

I deleted the orange PRO branding on the entire build (use acetone or Goo Off to do the same).

CPU fan is located with the plastic pins only, looks cleaner IMO.

I removed my psu id sticker as we could see it from the inside, F warrenty.

Appreciation of the case:

It is great, you know, probably all the things that hit right: medium size, room for pretty much any GPU, ATX PSU, GPU support bracket, PSU cable routing shroud, etc.

The only downside is the filters. The entire case uses perforated plastic mesh, as we all know it is quite restrictive. The sad part is it would have been possible to use screening door-style mesh, as the mesh is located in different panels. That might be a mod for the future.

Another small thing I don’t like is that you can see the I/O cables through the front glass. Most cases route those cables in the back chamber or at the top of the case, which is hard to do in this form factor. The screen, paired with the fact my GPU is 320mm in length, kind of solved the issue for me. That screen fits like a glove in that case. Until there is a 10 to 10.5-inch on the market, it is the thing to get.

Let me know if you have any questions :)
