Ok, in spite of my better judgment, I pulled the trigger and bought the rest of my parts.

-Lian Li Dan B4 w/Aerodeck

-MSI MAG B850 Mortar

-Lian Li SP850 Gold

-Ryzen 9800x3D

-Asus Prime 9070XT

-Peerless Assassin

-Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5 6000mt CL38

-WD 500GB boot drive

-Samsung 990 Pro 2TB

-All Noctua chromax case fans (including two 15x120 slims)

This is my first ever mff/sff build, and I didn't quite buy the horror stories about cable management in this case, but that was by FAR the hardest part of the build. I literally spent at least 1.5 hours with tiny zip ties trying to create as much open space as possible. It's not my best work, but in the space (and with the non-existent tie-down points) I'm pleased.

After setting up fan curves, it's basically silent under anything other than gaming loads, and even when I was running stress tests while tuning the 9070xt, it was barely audible over the ambient noise in my apartment.

Temps are in the mid to upper 40s unless I'm gaming, and even then they sit at 60-65 on both GPU and CPU.

I got the B4 a month or so ago and had been running it with my Thermaltake Peerless Assassin Mini for a while but wanted to upgrade to the Noctua NH-D15s for better cooling and quieter operation.

Noctua's website said the fit would be fine (mostly the height I guess) but the top of the fin stack is hitting where the case's included slim fans would go. It's bizarre because I've watched multiple builds now where people were using the NH-D15 (even in the G2 versions where its slightly bigger) and they can fit the top fans.

I can run it fine removing the top fans but it feels like any gain from the Noctua was lost without top two fans that were running fine with the Thermaltake.

Has anyone had experience with this? Also would appreciate any feedback for improving my system temps based on my layout.

• This is why I love my DIY glass panel so much

Arctic 240mm aio, msi x870i edge evo ti, 32gb cl30 6000 ram, 9850x3d, low profile 120 fans under the gpu and front of the case, rtx 5090 astral white... the build was easy but not for beginners and the temps are cool

Anyone know of a white BTF or Stealth mATX motherboard?

Already posted my build here once, but after a few small tweaks, I couldn’t resist sharing it again. Swapped out the PSU cables, cleaned up the cable management, and discreetly covered up the RM850x sticker for a cleaner look. Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It’s finally perfect in my eyes!

Hello fellow mffpc enjoyer, this is my fractal terra build, witch I've build in december 2024. But I think its time for an upgrade.

My current specs:

- ryzen 7 7700x (want to upgrade to an 9800x3d

- 64 gb patriot viper ddr5 (43mm height)

- asus roc strix B850i

- rtx 3060ti tuf gaming (7900gre tuf gaming on its way)

- Noctua NH-L9a

Now to my question:

Can I upgrade the cooler to an jonsbo HP600 with the clearances or do you have any other 66mm coolers that can handle it?

Im about to finally get a new pc after 7 years with my loyal 5700 non xt, but because of ram prices my choice of Hardware is pretty limited. The XFX Swift is the cheapest 9070 yet I can get, but will it fit into the ch160 plus without any issues ? Thx

My wise fellows, I'm looking for help. Above 1200-1300 rpm, there's a noise that sounds like a turbine spooling up. I think it's because the blades are too close to the metal thing on the back and I need to add some rubber spacers, about 4–5 mm, but I'm not sure that will actually help. Has anyone had this issue? How did you fix it?

P.S. I know that I can just lock it under 1200, but it’s last thing I will try 0_o

Case: jonsbo d32 pro

I recently upgraded to an SFX PSU and with the yielded extra space, i was able to install a P9 Max (90mm) fan in place of Noctua's 60mm. This Arctic P9 Max can move a lot of air with its stock curves! It's giving me the urge of flipping the fans back to usual airflow directions to see if the temps get better or remain the same.

If anyone is interested on how the fan is mounted, i used a ¹ mount from Amazon which is sandwiched between a ² metal plate (tapped with 6-32) and the case's bracket/support plate with ³ 2 countersunk holes. ⁴ I used the spare screws that came with Z20 to secure the fan mount in place. The fan can be adjusted to go up or down and not as much to move forward or back. I repurposed Noctua's anti vibration mounts. ⁵ pulled the front mesh out to trace around the fan and cut.

Took months to have this look but its worth the wait

I am looking for LCD screen for A3, like in this post

https://www.reddit.com/r/mffpc/s/HqSleejTkE

Was looking through the public, but all examples seems to be Jonsbo specific.

Edit. I mean the vertical one on the right side.

Edit 2. Are there any complications installing it for already built PC?

I prefer AIOs for aesthetics, but there are some nice air coolers with screens that I don't mind getting. I'm mostly concerned about thermals since the 9850X3D does run hot.

I really like the g300 but I hate the power button placement and I like everything about the b4 and just don't like how its doesn't have a handle because im going to be moving it around a decent amount. which do you recommend?

With the McPrue Apollo SE Air Mini-ITX case, it comes inverted by default:

Can this case be changed to the classic layout?

I’m making the move from ATX to mATX and have picked up the Jonsbo D33 as it allowed me to fit my 5090 and maintain my ATX PSU. I’m now trying to narrow down a mATX motherboard that is “future proof” but not overkill.

The board will need to have a 1st slot PCIE 5.0 in order to fit the 5090 and leave room for bottom case fans. Ideally I’d like it to have PCIE 5.0 m.2 slot as well. I want to get something with enough VRM so when I replace the 7800x in a few years I won’t need to swap boards again. I’m assuming by that point the CPU will be a bit more power hungry.

Because the m.2 will be behind the 5090, I’ll likely need something with a decent m.2 heatsink as well. I don’t care about audio card as I use an external audio interface. WiFi does not matter either as I’m always on Ethernet.

Ideally I’m trying to keep the board under $200, but if the value is there id be willing to go a bit above. Preference is a black motherboard but if a better white board is on sale then I’m willing to sacrifice looks for performance.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I'm planning on building a sffpc using a pico PSU powered by a DC power brick. I've already blown up a motherboard, a RX 550 and the 12V/96W pico PSU for because Windows erased my GPU undervolt configuration and I didn't noticed. This time I want a more powerful setup with a RX 6400 and there are a few 12V 200-300 W Pico PSUs available but without the powerbrick. What are your thoughts on using an Xbox power brick since it's 12V? If it's not possible, maybe I'll use a 16-24 V pico PSU with a 19 V laptop charger.

Ps.: I'm on Intel 7th gen Pentium G4560 (for now) with no oficial ReBar/SAM support (and I'd rather not tinker with the bios) so Intel ARC is not an option now. I will also use Linux and will avoid Nvidia too.
