deadscope Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Started my dream build last night: Carbide 400RH100 CoolerCML8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 2x4GBHX850WCorsair Force GT SSDG1.Sniper2 (BEAST) Corsair dominated :D Got the motherboard into this case and then came to the sad realization that the eAtx motherboard is too big for the beautiful 400R. The bottom sata connectors are covered by the side lip and the 120mm x 25mm Radiator fans cannot fit inbetween the top mounted rad and top of the motherboard >< To top it all off my HX850W has stopped working, RMA in progress. What case will be able to fit the H100 and G1.Sniper2? Is the 650D big enough or am I looking at the 700D or larger? Hoping that I will be able to return the 400R + cost for a larger case. http://iforce.co.nz/i/uckkyaoq.rss.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviblue Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 How long ago did you purchase the case? You could probably return it to the retailer only thing is you have to pay for shipping....which isn't cheap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginut Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I have no issue with my 650D and Gigabyte MBI'm using... Here are some pics: http://oi54.tinypic.com/292s5co.jpg http://oi54.tinypic.com/30wuufm.jpg Also I recommend looking in the 650D case thread and see if you find anyone using the sniper and H100 Also are you sure there isn't enough clearance between the heat-sink and the H100? From your pic it looks like there should be ... Which lip are you referring to?> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadscope Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Refering to the lip around the sata ports, blocking access to the bottom 3. The fans overlap the top heatsink by about 4mm :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmarsk Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I have the same problem with an EVGA X99 Classified e-atx motherboard. The SATA connectors are doubled up one on top of the other so that I can only access the top ones. As per deadscope's problem, the lip surrounding where the motherboard fits is blocking the lower sata receptacles on the motherboard. I should add that the lip also makes it impossible to connect the 24pin power connector and other connectors such as the USB connectors without the plugs being at a slight angle to rise over the lip. In doing so, they also place pressure on the motherboard at these connections. Suggest Corsair revise spec stating e-atx compliant. Yes, the MB fits, but not if you want to use the factory provided cables. As said above, I also can not access half the SATA connectors on my motherboard.
