dbswisha Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 What an exercise in frustration. I got this case yesterday and I'm just about ready to return it. I have a AX850 PSU. I am trying to run my 8 pin connector through the case to the 8 pin power socket on my motherboard. The only way to get there is through a small opening in the upper left hand corner of the case (that's where the 8 pin power input is on my mobo). Run the cable through there. The 8 pin connector from the PSU is broken up into two 4 pin connectors. Well one 4 pin connector will go into the socket on the mobo, but the other won't. It's like one of the connectors is longer than the other. In fact it is as I am looking at it now. So now I can't plug both connectors into the power socket on my mobo at the same time. Doesn't help that the wiring of the cable makes it very very hard to orientate in the correct position. Has anybody else had an issue with this in the 500r? I have been messing with this off and on all day and eventually have given up due to irritation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElcomeSoft Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Was fine with my Seasonic S12-II750W and an ASUS P8Z68-V LE in my 500R. Left with next to no slack though. Was rather easy to plug them in but another half an inch and it would have been a struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G50EED Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Fine here, too. AX850, Carbide 500R and ASUS Rampage III Formula. You might try this extension cable (I did). It will really make your life much easier: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0036ORCJY/ref=oh_o02_s03_i00_details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone Man Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I have the 400R case. On mine and I see from pics of the 500R there is a small opening at the bottom between the MB and the PSU. I routed my 8pin cable through there and it should give you a little more slack. Jim :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
