Haha oh geez. Thanks EchoSierra for sharing about removing the panels. That wouldve made things alot easier! With the asus dual oc 3070, it is a tight fit width wise. I had to shimmy it in and also remove the hdmi/power extensions blocks for the install, then reinstall them. The card isnt in bracket perfectly, but its so tight it doesn't move. I could make some room if i change out the pcie cables to the psu. But from what i read, its preferred to have two separate cables for each 8pin and not use a single dual 6+2. So right now im using the two cables that are dual 6+2 that came with the sf750 psu (with one of the 6+2 taking up deadspace on each cable. Bah!) Im aware the Corsair sf family power supply cables are interchangeable, but does it matter if the psu cable was from gold rated sf400 to use on a platinum sf750? Does the cables matter when changing psu rating? Then i could use the 8pin from the original build and/or buy another one

Hello, I know im late to the party, but my Corsair one (2017) died on me starting of December and I decided to upgrade as well: Specs Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B550i CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x GPU: Asus RTX 3070 Dual OC PSU: Corsair SF 750 Attached is GPU/mobo pic. Finishing touches Since this was a pre-built and i dont have spare parts, Im waiting on an AMD mounting bracket to reinstall the CPU AIO cooler (using stock AMD wraith for now) and will switch the top fan to motherboard side, since im not tearing apart the new gpu to install the GPU AIO cooler. Install issues to look out for Im not an expert by any means and was able to do this, although i did have moderate trouble getting the usb bios flash for the mobo for new Ryzen chip. It took many tries and I also had to put the gpu directly into the motherboard: The PCIe3 riser cable was giving issues between the PCIe4 slots on the GPU and the motherboard. After starting up the bios, I could change the PCIe slot to GEN3 and then use the riser cable (there are youtube vids where the difference is minimal to gaming). I should've gotten the 570i mobo, but ah well. So much for saving money. The USB Gen 3.2 slot is one slot further, and thus the custom usb front cord Corsair made is just a hair short. I very rarely use the front usb anyways, so not a big loss for me. Boy working on the 2017 case was tight. I have many scratched knuckles. I take it the newer models you can remove the bottom or additional walls?? Look forward to seeing how it performs soon!
