SimDuch Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Still can't use my new 750D with the Formula VI backplate on, even the 100i will have to flex a lot to get there... The support told me that a new release will be available, you have a date ? thanks S. PS: Also, why Corsair so silent about this ? I mean lots of people have the same problem but yet no official comment ?? would have been great to have some words from you ! You know, just to clarify things a bit ! anyways... cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 They haven't been silent. This was posted over at OCUK and then reposted here. Although no ETA. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=25211813&postcount=99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Technobeard Posted November 27, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 27, 2013 We're not silent, just busy with turkeys :) Just received this from George: The Obsidian 750D uses built-in standoffs to support the motherboard, similar to how our 300R does. In the years we've shipping cases like this, we have yet to run into a compatibility issue, including the boards with backplates such as the Sabertooth series. However, the Maximus VI Formula motherboard changed the spacing around the motherboard mounts in the backplate to cause a physical incompatibility. As such, there are two options: remove the backplate completely, in which case the board will fit normally. Or to use a different case. Due to request, we will eventually be moving the 750D to use standard, non built-in standoffs. However, the change is months away as tooling takes significant time. We regret this incompatibility and are working to address it, but it is an unfortunate circumstance of two vendors both trying to create a new standard in their respective industries and the occasional hiccups that we run into when pushing the boundary of the current status quo. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimDuch Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Ok, thanks for this...I guess... ! can you open a ticket for me ? I will ask for a replacement (new case/series) Something I don't get, is why this newer model (750D) can't and other (older) can ? :[pouts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Technobeard Posted November 29, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 29, 2013 You can create a ticket here: http://corsair.force.com/ I wouldn't recommend creating a ticket just yet, as George said the change is months away in the quote.

SimDuch Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 Yes but will they honoured my warranty in a "few" month ? thicket is already open: 6247571, is the formula VI compatible in the 900D case ? What I want, is switch my case, I will not put hours in cable management and so for doing it again in months... ! Iam stuck with this buit that I cant complete because of the 750D and I just want another case model... ! simple enough ? its been weeks that I am asking for that, your the first offical answer from Corsair... I want to move foward with this matter ! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Rochau Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I also bought a 750D with the intention of using it with the VI Formula (which I don't have yet). Anyways, I was wondering if there's any way to identify whether I have a new production version of the 750D or an old version that could have problems mounting the Formula. I bought the 750D on November 25 from Newegg.ca. The second post in this thread seems to indicate that only the initial batch of cases has this issue. Thanks!

Thanks. The stand-offs will not be build-in meaning you won't see the small bumps at the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1badls2goat Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 No, it is not. Some people are saying they've already received a revised version where the middle standoff is not there and there is a "thin looking screw without threads" instead... So is the new one already out, in that case? Figured I'd ask again since your post was earlier in the month. I purchased a 750d case from newegg.com on 12/24/13 so I hope mine won't have this issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 No it is not out yet. The new version will have traditional stand-offs and is still months away.

Granzon Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I see the 750D is back in stock on Corsair store, and Amazon. Are those the revised version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 No they are not. I wouldn't look for the revised cases anytime before summer. It's going to take months to redo the tooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimDuch Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 How do you know that ? can anyone from Corsair have a ETA for the revised ? mannnn... My buit is still waiting in boxes for this darn case... ! (Formula IV issue) :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimDuch Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 ok, well maybe luck will be with us (those who have a problem) and Corsair will push forward for an earlier release... anyways, I guess that we will have to wait then... if Corsair have any words, it will be appreciated to post it in this thread ! cheers S.

mac.man Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I just received my 750D from Amazon. It has the new revision without the bump stand-off. Can you please post a picture of the new 750d? I bought one 3 weeks ago, and I'm not sure mine is revised. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh86 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I bought the 750D yesterday thru the danish reseller computersalg.dk. They didn't have them in local stock. Today I sent them an email about this and they replied that they just asked their supplier who told them that they will get the newest revision and they will send that to me. So I expect to get the newest revision. If not, I will return the case, as I told them. I should have it Feb 18. I'll report back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
