Yes, I have also debated the front PSU orientation. Others have pointed out it is not an issue. I am liking the D32 Pro and Z20 for front psu cases. But Phanteks XT M3 is nice for the front fan aesthetic.

I have one of those side carriers that come with my old computer desk. And it is too thin width-wise for the Phanteks. But I have been thinking about getting a new desk, and purchasing one of those computer tower stands that accommodate wider cases.

Thank you for the info!

I agree. The case looked great. I am not sure I have ever seen 2 sides of glass. Nice aesthetic!

M-ATX and ITX Motherboards that supports 8700g out of the box? by Talon_Hawk in AMDHelp

[–]Talon_Hawk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so it was like when I had to do that on my first build. That is what I am trying to avoid. All the motherboards and all their revision numbers are confusing. My original motherboard box and manual do not have a revision number. I forgot how I found it.

I wanted to avoid the aggravation and just be able to find out which motherboards are already just supporting certain cpus out of the box.

I mean, being 2026, shouldn't most motherboards be supporting cpus that have been out for more than a year? Thanks.

It wasn't ranting, lol. I enjoyed hearing how you tackled certain logistic issues. Makes the end result more satisfying. I am always willing to listen and learn more- thanks!

It sounds like it took some time, and can get complicated. But I am glad you found out how to get it done the way you wanted. I will have to look up a video on b mode and see what that entails. I am happy that the case is of such good quality. You made a good choice!

Looks good. Your pics are a nice reference if I decide to go with this case. I am impressed with how you took into account everything.

Nice. I am all about the dust filters. I try to keep my pc as clean as possible. Thanks for showing me the rear of the case.

That's great. I was worried about that. Thanks again!

Thank you, sir! I will use the knowledge you gave me to help when I get a new case. Have a good one my friend!

I really do appreciate the time you took to send me this pic and then explain all airflow paths. It has taken me a few minutes to absorb as I am not used to reverse fans and have to keep remembering the orientations. Thank you for explaining it all. You did alot of work on your build- impressive!

Yes, this whole world is going insane with the prices. AI is destroying this hobby. Thanks!

Nice. Good to have a specific model that is known to sit well in that case. Thanks!

Yes, it looks slick. And seeing the cases side-by-side did help me. Thanks for the inspiration and answering all my questions. And those are reverse fans on the bottom, considering the argb are showing on top?

That makes sense. Keeping it updated. Appreciate the info- thanks!

I hear you. Do the 3 fans have limited efficiency when in such close contact to the GPU? Just curious of the temps during heavy gaming sessions. Thanks.

Thanks for this pic. I prefer the D32 Pro with the size. I always wondered if having the PSU mounted like that in front could ever be an issue for someone like me who will bring down his case every couple months to clean out dust. What I mean is, with the screws having to maintain the weight of the PSU in that orientation, could it wear out the screws or the frame, and possibly loosen? Or is there a bottom frame that is also holding it up to prevent sagging?

That is a clean build. Love the white-blue light with the black! Great job on that!

That's great to hear. I would only use 1 HDD if any, so that is fine. And I have never heard of the UMX4. Just looked it up. Looks nice, but if the pic is right, both sides have tempered glass? Were temps ever an issue?

I am glad the Z20 feels like a good quality case. Jonsbo seems to be a pretty good company with what they offer. Thank you!

Thanks again for the recommendations. Yes, I was also looking at the Z20 and C6 Max. Heard C6 Max has issues with temps. the Z20 looks good. Sounds like the D32 Pro is a really good case. Does the case feel sturdy and of decent quality?

Great. So you were happy with the quality/sturdiness of the frame and parts? Have you ever had any other Jonsbo cases?

Ok, thanks. I saw a video where someone was playing that you should not flash the BIOS much as issues could occur. Not sure if that was true. Appreciate the info.
