usmcreserve Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 After a 14 hour work day and running on 2 hours of sleep, I hastily ordered a Corsair Vengeance C70 Arctic White (Because it looks awesome). I never thought as my motherboard being huge but I guess it is. I have an EVGA P67 FTW (link here ). My current case is the Obsidian 800d, and if you are wondering why I am downgrading my case, it's because i've had my 800d since it's launch, and it is getting EXTREMELY old and worn. I can't find anything better so I was hoping to live off a c70 case until corsair releases a replacement for the 800d. Just trying to confirm if i'm screwed and my mobo is too big for my c70, the mobo states that it's EATX but the c70 says ATX in the specs. Anybody have an idea if it will still fit? If not, I either have to switch motherboards or return the case =( I appreciate any input, thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmcreserve Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Oh I probably should mention I have to somehow cram an h100 in there, and I also have the hx1000 psu and corsair dominator gt 2000mhz ram with airflow pro memory LED's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 It'll fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmcreserve Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 That made my Day! I can finally sleep now, Thanks YB!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmcreserve Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Looks great, YB, thanks for the help. I would have regretted returning this thing =). Going to get 3 more AF120 fans to replace the stock fans, and also some better matching psu cables since this hx1000 is getting old (but still working perfecetly). Didn't have time to do any cable management yet, but after a little more work, I think this baby will turn out looking sexy.

stratosrally Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Now that came out real nice! I also still use the HX1000W PSU, it has no problem driving my SLI'd GTX 580 cards and an i7-920 OC'd to 3.8GHz 24/7. Looks like you have a lot more room in that case than I do in my old Scout - which I am looking to replace soon. That EVGA mobo with the EVguage looks really good in there - especially with that window. Thanks for showing us just how great the C70 is in white! Be sure to post more when you've finished adding the other fans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malViZio Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 i've to say that it looks really awesome!! this new C70 it's gorgeous!! i would have a side panel for the 650D like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Gaga Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 i had saw a vengenace c70 with a asus maximus v formula motherboard in it but it is a e-atx motherboard. would this be possible without case modding? i think it because asus rog e-atx boards are not much longer than an normal atx mother board!? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
