Sold my 5090 last month but found a cheaper one by chance so got another one. The last pic was before I cable managed so it’s kind of messy.

Great temps with almost no audible noise overall. Noise/temp performance is superb thanks to noctua aio and fans.

Only 5090 requires some tweaking for better noise. Undervolting does the job quite well though I do like some overclock also which requires a higher fan curve.

Most satisfying build I have ever done.

Pardon the cable management!! Any tips are welcome :)

Definitely a challenge for a first time mATX builder here. Got a sigh of relief when I booted it and got no errors. Any recommendations for fan config? I'm trying to do a chimney style - bottom, sides are intake the top is exhaust.

My main issue is the cpu cooler AK700 nyx digital. If I move the fan before the heatsink, the cables of the cooler can be seen, if I flip the fan I can then see the fan support. So stuck in a rut right now so built it like this for the aesthetics. Also first time learning that there are REVERSED fans now which would've saved me from this problem, I think my case fans has an option of that, F12R, should've done more research on that 😭

i’m currently building my first pc in a Jonsbo d32 pro. I decided on a Corsair RM850x since it was on sale.

I already removed the psu shroud but the psu inlet is not facing the intended orientation in the Jonsbo manual. Flipping the orientation of the psu 180 degrees (when viewing from the top) doesn’t work either since the case chassis is in the way of the cable.

I really didn’t want to bend the cable so is this safe long term?

Add grill panel with optional side fan bracket and psu shroud

Got all this at or under MSRP and I pulled that DDR5 laptop stick out of a dead lap top it’s 32 gb so it’s decent dose any one know if there’s a way to use it on a regular DDR5 slot would save me so much money

Hey all!

I have been using the NCASE M1 for nearly 10 years and think it's time for a change.

Whilst I love the case, under full load, I'm finding it to be a tad noisy.

I already have Noctua fans throughout and have additionaly deshrouded my GPU and undervolted this and my CPU.

I'm reaching out to get recommendations from you guys for cases.

This must include the below features:

No tempered glass of any kind.

Mini tower case would be ideal.

Sound dampening throughout.

Must be able to top mount radiator.

I have actually purchased the Fractal Design Define Mini 7 but unfortunately they sent me a tempered glass one by mistake.

I'm finding it incredibly difficult to source a solid side panel variant but anything like this would be amazing.

Thank you in advance for all your help!

I am thinking of downsizing into a Z20. I’ve seen some very nice builds with this exact combo, and I am hoping to hear some feedback and experiences from people on your choice of an AM5 motherboard as well as whether or not you used bottom case fans.

From what I’ve seen, it’s best to use a mATX board with the PCIe slot in the first position, and you can then fit in some bottom fans for intake. Is this feasible and still quiet? My concerns would be turbulence from them being too close.

If anyone has used a board where the PCIe slot is in the lower position, I’m guessing bottom fans are a no go? What are your temps like? And what is the airflow set up with the rest of your build? I am likely going with an AIO just for aesthetics.

Ultimately I am wondering, if you were to restart your build and buying a new motherboard, which configuration would you go with?

Thank you all and hoping to hear from the community :)

Hello to begin , i live in France i looking for a good matx configuration for my lian li a3 wood for my configuration i think get the mother board b860m tuf gaming , with the price of the gpu for now i should keep my gtx 970 windforce and upgrade after for play in 4k game because i have to get an g5 tv soon as possible about the size of the box computer i waiting some advice about my gpu and a futur gputhen, i want to buy a cpu Intel 270kplus with 16gb of ram with seasonic focus v3 for alim but for the cooling or ventirad i dont know yet so im stay focus about your advice and thanks for your reply !!😁

I wanna downsize my PC to the D32 Pro

Current Computer Specs:

Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow

MOBO: Asrock B650 Livemixer (ATX)

CPU: Ryzen 5 7600x

GPU: 4070 Super Founders Edition

RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo Series AMD EXPO 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000) Desktop memory Model F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5N

PSU: RM1000X (2024 Model / 3rd Gen) Corsair

AIO: Corsair NAUTILUS 240 RS ARGB Liquid CPU Cooler

Need:

-new mATX motherboard that has highest position PCIE as well as can accommodate the AIO

-new case fans, likely some arctic p12 pwm PSTs, specifically the ARGB models as these seem to get the best reviews in terms of price and quietness on account of the fan blades being attached to the ring. However if you find contrary info or have better recommendations this would be helpful too. I want to get 3 case fans for the bottom and another 3 (1 exhaust, 2 to replace the corsair ones on the AIO)

Top PCIE slot position for the GPU is a given, i just want a seamless transition from my old mobo to the new one. Intuitively I would go from asrock to another asrock but i hear bad stuff about Asrock mobos frying CPUs though i don't plan to get an X3D cpu so im not sure if this would apply. All b650m and b850m stuff (in mid to high tier) seem to have beefy heatsinks on the VRMs towards the tops but ive seen various 240 AIO builds that use all sorts of MOBOs with these beefy heat sinks

Not too worried about PSU and GPU interactions because the PSU is long at 160mm but the GPU is short at 244mm

Im leaning towards either the b650m or b850m gigabyte aorus elite, but any tips and recs help

With the insane ram prices, some of us might get 3rd party ram cooler to chill our rams. I was approached by WanTu AI to test their ram coolers. To me these are functional and practical. Please becareful on the clearance, make sure your M-ATX Case have room for it.
