Matt9882 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Glad I noticed this today - I was about to cut into my 750D a-la Paul's Hardware and add a makeshift USB-C. This is a much cleaner option. Props, Corsair. Now if you could just release a tempered glass side panel for the 750D... <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-M4J3ST1C Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 (edited) Fantastic upgrades to the Crystal Series 570X and Obsidian Series 750D cases. I'm liking more the Crystal Series, but the Obsidian Series in my workspace scenario looks exceptional.

hockey9999 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Quick question regarding the 570x front panel kit - In addition to the USB 3.1 connector, does it also have USB 2.0 and/or 3.0 connector like the Obsidian 750D version? Or just the USB 3.1 connector. If possible, it would be great to a picture like this for the 570x version. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just the USB 3.1 connector. If possible, it would be great to a picture like this for the 570x version. Thanks! I unfortunately don't have a pic like the one I have for the 750D kit. I do have a 570X kit at my desk though. As far as USB connections, the kit features the USB 3.1 Type-C connector and a USB 3.0 connector. There is no USB 2.0 connector since there are no USB 2.0 ports. Edited January 15, 2018 by Technobeard snipped images for formatting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tranle Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Does Corsair has USB 3.1 type-c kit for the 760T case ? Is the USB module can be swapped out ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Greybeard Posted December 1, 2017 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 1, 2017 Nothing at the moment, not sure if we will offer it in the future though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csparks Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Same question, will there be an upgrade kit for the Graphite 780T ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporty Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Will this USB 3.1 header that fits the Obsidian 750d also fit an older Obsidian 900? My Obsidian 900 is about five years old (evidently an older generation from the current one). I don't even remember if it was referred to as a 900D or just a 900.

There's only one 900D, and it came out around Spring 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporty Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 OK, I snapped to it when I saw the "800D" in your response. So, will the current kit for the 750D fit my older 800D? Tryin to remember my best, I think I've had it for 5 or 6 years (and I know I bought it directly from the Corsair site). At the time, I recall that the 800D was the "top of the line", and the 900D had not yet been introduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skrybe Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Please tell me you're going to do a similar replacement part for the 900D. I really like the case and I don't want to throw it out in a couple months time when I upgrade the internals just for the lack of USB 3.1 on the front. edit: Side note, the find a retailer links on the Corsair site all seem to come up blank. eg: https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-Parts/PC-Components/Cases/900D-Front-Panel-I-O/p/CC-8930107 shows the popup but doesn't list any retailers. If it's not available, maybe the site should say "Not available" or something similar. Edited March 13, 2018 by skrybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEIP Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Could you please tell me when this will be in stock for the 570x or where I can purchase it? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakeirish Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I wonder if Corsair will release a version for the white edition of the 570x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEIP Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 These apparently came back into stock at Corsair... I attempted to order and was greeted with a $10 charge on a $20 part. That is absolutely appalling and a complete rip-off. Even worse I contacted their customer service to see if they could help in any way (I even offered to email them a UPS label and pay for it myself as I would pay a fraction of that cost) - customer service would not help in any way. Poor customer service Corsair, I am extremely disappointed with you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nisupulla Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 When will we get this update also for the white 570x case? The motherboard supports the connector, but the case is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrybe Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 So still no love for other cases? Hey Corsair, if you're reading this maybe it'd be a good idea to make your front I/O panels uniform based on two or three standard sizes. That way you could sell replacement parts to customers for a whole bunch of different cases instead of just one or two that happen to be popular. It's super frustrating having bought a high end case and being left with no support for USB3.1 and future changes. Makes me feel like I might as well buy a cheap case and throw it away every two or three years when I buy a new setup. edit: USB 3.1 not USB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReturnedSword Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Is there any chance there will be a second version for the 570X that drops the lighting controls on the Front I/O for more USB? Something like: 2 x USB 3.1 1 x USB-C 3.1 gen 2 1 x USB 2.0 Many 570X owners are not using the Front I/O lightning controls because we are using Lighting Node Pro or Commander Pro making that wasted space. One nitpick point that almost prevented me from buying my 570X was the fact that it's a premium case with only 2 front USB, when competitors such as the Fractal Design R6, NZXT H700, etc have 4 available USB ports.

XRayAdamo Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Just added this panel on my Obsidian airflow edition, but with some changes. 1. Moved USB C to the right 2. Got rid of USB 2.0 and added USB 3.0 from old panel. Why do you need 2.0 if you can add 3.0? I think this looks better Edited August 18, 2018 by XRayAdamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRayAdamo Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Tested speed of front panel connected to MoBo with UCB-C on MoBo backplate. Same speed within the error margin Left picture front panel, right picture back-plate. Edited August 18, 2018 by XRayAdamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanluvanee Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Is Corsair going to release a USB 3.0/USB C upgrade panel for the 900D? I would thing that a lot of owners of the 900D would be interested in this upgrade? Even with it being a 5 year old case I'm betting its still a heavily used case. I would definitely be willing to pony up a few bucks for a upgrade front i/o for the 900D. Make it have 4 USB 3.1 and 2 USB C 3.1 gen2.
