pure performance, no more disco lights

I've always wanted to build in an ITX chassis... and here it is!

(Goodbye mah D32 pro, I'll miss you)

.

Broke student's specs:

- Shiny Snake S300 non pro

- Asus ROG B550i

- 5600x

- 32gb 3600 cl18 Tforce Delta

- AXP90 X47 cooler

- 250gb m2 sata

- 2tb m2 nvme

- Corsair SF850 - yes extremely overkill

- Asus Prime 5060ti 16gb

Its been 3-4 months since I downsized to this case from the corsair 4000d. I love how it fit all my components nicely and I didn’t need to change my psu. Also nice how clean the front panel is.

Jonsbo if you are reading this, please work on selling these parts separately:
- replacement side mesh panel (could barely find non tempered glass version locally)
- replacement front wood panel
- replacement psu cover similar to STD version to hide the cables better (i have terrible stock psu cables)

Lol thanks for reading!

I’m upgrading my PC and renovating my bedroom to make the space look nicer. Before moving on to the desk, which is going to be the most work, I’ve reached the stage of choosing a PC case. I've been using a white NR200 for about 3 years, but I decided to switch to an all-black setup.

I had my eye on the Jonsbo Z20, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I also came across the Jonsbo D32, which caught my attention as well. It's easier to find and even cheaper in my area.

Which one do you think would be the more interesting choice? Or would you recommend another case altogether?

I'd love to hear your suggestions and experiences!

Sorry for the long post but I must vent about my foolishness.

I saw that the black version of this motherboard was often used on A3 builds here and wanted to join in on the fun.

I found that the black version seemed to sometimes have the GPU on the second slot which could interfere with the nitro+ 9070xt so I went with the white version as it seemed to guarantee the top slot (and I like the white)

Little did I know that the white version has a much larger VRM heatsink which is about 2mm too large for my full sized AIO. Ended up having to order slim fans which is a shame because it won't be as efficient and I gotta figure out the fan screw situation.

And returning the motherboard felt too much effort compared to just getting slimmer fans but that's just me. Anyways, sorry for the rant but I was just so frustrated over such a small oversight.

Truly a lazy hunk of poorly planned performance

It’s moving into my server rack eventually. This was just to try it out. And I thought I’d share

Hi, its my first time building a pc and i went for the lian li a3 and i absolutely love it, but id like some advice on the optimal case fan setup.

I opened my case today after a few days of usage and moderate gaming, and I noticed quite a lot of dust inside, which i attributed to negative internal air pressure due to having more exhaust fans than intake.

I run 1 back and 3 top exhaust fans, and the only intake are the 3 gpu fans (and perhaps the 1 psu?), so its 4:3. I was thinking of removing one of the top exhausts (front one?) to balance it out and then play with the fan curves to make the intakes run a bit faster than exhausts. Would that be a good idea?

Alternatively, i could use the removed top exhaust as an extra intake at the bottom. I also have 1 spare case fan left if that helps.

Any advice? Thanks

A little over a month since I finished my 2nd build and still love the setup! I recently upgraded from ATX PSU to an SF1000. We've got room for activities now 😆.

I changed from the Lian li A3 to the Coolermaster Masterframe 400 mesh. My first white build. Overall I am enjoying this machine and I really like the way it looks. In person is far better then pics reflect. I think it barely qualifies as a MFF machine but the case is a bit on the bigger side for MFF.

Things I wish I would change. SFX 1000w PSU for side mount. Dual 120mm fans for front mount intake. Not sure but possibly Lian Li strimmer 24pin cable. Holographic rear exhaust fan. Next change will be when AM6 comes next year with any luck!! Hope you like, this was a fun DIY build

Hi, as the title suggests I'm struggling to understand which set up will be best for the build.

Although not my first PC, this will be the first time I've built one so may be overlooking obvious points.

For info - Live in UK, no air conditioning, and temperatures range from -4 to 30 Celsius. Main use is for gaming. Ideal set up would be minimal noise and low temps, with temps taking more importance.

The screenshot shows the case I want to use, the Cooler master master frame 400 and its different possible cooling configs - I think I want to use a 360mm AIO at the top of the case which would mean front intake may not be an option or would be severely restricted due to PSU location (the case is fairly customisable so could be adjusted, Manual for better explanation here https://coolermaster.egnyte.com/dl/wXJv6WJvyRWp )

My questions are:

1. If using the 360mm AIO - which sized fans should I use as intake on the bottom? I understand bigger fans spin can spin slower which makes it quieter and then the AIO fans are exhaust. I also know that smaller fans create more pressure, so would I be better having large fans as intake and smaller as exhaust (Assuming more air pulled in from the bottom and then its pushed out at a quicker speed and basically drags more air across my GPU etc?)
2. Would I be better switching to air cooling my CPU and having more fans? I have an AIO in my current set up and have never had any issues with it, but I seem to see more people switching to air cooling their CPU's.

I think the benefit of that would be that I can then add intake fans to the front of the case, not sure if that then in turn will mean lower average temps.

Here's my parts list so far - so far undecided on whether to go 5080 or swap to 9070xt

I would like to keep fans as is.

Wanting to add 3.5 HDD.

Side bracket behind PSU I've attached 1 SSD, remaining holes arent compatible with HDD.

Top bracket where fans are holes don't align.

I bought the glass tempered case so there is no long side bracket which comes with the mesh version, I've think that would be best bet but before I purchase would like to see if anyone has ideas or suggestions. Ty.
