magictoaster Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I'm having serious alignments issues with the case. It's so bad that even when pushing the back of the case to align the screw holes, the PCIe cards do not go in completely. Never had issues like this with any cases I've owned. Really disappointing. :(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamscaper Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Wow, another poor soul with alignment issues... I feel your pain. Sounds like an RMA is in order. I wouldn't try forcing expensive GPU's to fit and risk damaging them or your mobo. If you can't get them to fit even after a bit of persuasion then it's not even worth trying. Like I said, unless you want to get real crazy with some power tools, RMA it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 14, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 14, 2009 I would first try loosening up the motherboard screws and see if you can gradually adjust the motherboards position in the case to get better alignment. Let us know how it goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magictoaster Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 That's the first thing I tried, but the misalignment is so bad that even pushing (to the point of popping a rivet) on the back of the case does not help. The PCIe card will not go in completely. I've tried with two motherboards (ASUS and EVGA) with the same results. Everything lineup perfectly in a SilverStone TJ-10, and in an old Antec P180, so it's definitely an issue with the Obsidian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magictoaster Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 I was contacted by George from Corsair earlier today and if the replacement case I get back from the store suffers from the same issue, I know Corsair will take care of it! Thank for the quick follow-up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
