My 9800X3D Jonsbo D41 build

Maybe adding a third fan, the bottom “radiator” will act as a simple gasket?

I have not installed any bottom intakes yet. But will install 3, that deciding on what fans to buy.

Would probably help but I guess the only way you'd know for sure is to make some smoke and see where it goes - something like this:
...but that's probably massively overthinking it (I have form :D ) and ultimately what's going to matter is his temps and how loud it is.

Having second thoughts about the shroud. It’s getting too close to the 2 slot gpu and i plan to buy a thick gpu in January.

The original case fan mounts are hardly sealed in the 1st place. Ghe rpm will be so low that noise is negligible.

We’ll see when I get new fans.

I was able to fit the thick 4080 TUF and T30s under it. Close but doable.
 
Small update:
Mounted AIO pump upside down, and new fans, still to be cable managed.



My stop gap card (7800XT) should be arriving later today.

Reused old IPS monitor:

so now the system is all set and been used for a bit, how do you find it?
my brother had the same case and it's now going begging. i was thinking about whacking a system in it.

he only ever had a 5700x3d and a 3070 in it so both relatively cool running.
you have a hot CPU and a GPU i know can warm up in some games so some feedback would be super

It's a decent case, a bit wobbly when all panels are off, but solid when fully assembled.

CPU temps can be toasty, as the top exhaust are quite restricted. It drops ~10c with the top panel off. I'm thinking of going air cooling and using the top as intakes, traditional positive air pressure.

GPU temps are great, never over 60c, with a very quiet fan curve. Expected with 3x120mm fans blowing straight at it.

One of the pongs that attach the front panel has snapped, which annoyed me. I am at the tinkering stage of building, so have been taking it off and on a lot, but is still very disappointing. YMMV

End of the day it is only a £60 case (without the screen), dirt cheap in my eyes and the quality shows. Is the screen worth +£60 premium? I don't know, but it was the gimmick that caught my eye, and I do still like it. But I would not normally considered a £60 case for the components I'm planning to put in it.

have you tried flipping the top fans, restricted for work better as intake for some reason

that case is unique... at first glance i thought it was another dual chamber case and i was like what is that big black thing in the front... oh wait that case looks narrow *penny drops*
It looks good, hope temps are good and it doesnt restrict airflow much -pro/cons i guess of saving desk space

Not that long ago, dual chambers were unique, but then all case manufactures realise it is a fool proof way to get easy airflow, providing the customer was willing to sacrifice desk space. Now they are everywhere

That big black think on the front is covered by a panel that the OP removed. Its generally is a nice looking case

You can see it in post 5
