Looks like he posted here about submitting a support ticket.Fowler have you heard anything from the Corsair reps on here? Suffice to say your experiences with this case are making me hesitant to get one.
Looks like he posted here about submitting a support ticket.
The window panel support ticket wasn't aimed at me, but looking at my side panel it does have stretches on it so may summit one but first need to get the motherboard fitted in.

The quality of these cases are great, as Greybeard says, any issues then contact Corsair direct using their ticket system and they are known to be great when it comes to customer satisfaction and service.
Cheers guys! Excellent service as always

That's a good price, perfectly happy with my 650d though.

The 650D has 4 x 5.25 optical bays, the 750D only has 3. The 750D has a solid front panel where as the 650D is geared more towards air cooling with a mesh front grill.
The 750D can fit in a good amount of radiators, i think upto 240mm where as the 650D wasn't really geared towards liquid cooling. I'd say its more of a replacement for the 800D than the 650D, i wouldn't say the 750D is better designed than the 650D as for some reason Corsair have chose to put very flimsy side panels on this case with thumb screws, the 650D has one of the most solid feeling, best designed side panels that ive seen. Another bad design with this case is the rubber grommets by the PSU, their are 2 but quite a lot of PSU's are going to block out the first rubber grommet as they have put them too close to where the PSU will sit, their is plenty of room to have put them further away to the other side so that no PSU would have covered any of them.

After stumbling across this thread and seeing the iffy build quality in you tube videos, I'm going for the NZXT 530 Phantom. the 750D was on my short list of 2. Now it's not.
im not impressed with the quality of nzxt cases m8 so be careful had top take one back and now this ones gone wrong
I've had it confirmed that the manual etc is wrong ref the stand'offs x4
Effectively you dont need them so they don't provide them...
theres just the locator standoff as described above and I actually had another standard one, which the rep did say was for a particular board.
I didn't buy mine through OC so havent posted untill now, but have had an issue with the front catches after the way the case was received, whilst its taken a while and a couple of false starts, I am quite frankly amazed at Corsairs efforts regarding RMA/chat/ticket fulfilment etc.. whilst a little slow due to some misunderstandings the continued effort to 'get it right', has blown me away and given me massive confidence in the brand for future purchases.... of which there looks like being many according to my 'next bits to buy list'...
I have the same Board to fit as fowler, and can see the potential issues , but arn't in a position to try fitments just yet :/
also whilst the thumb screws is a little old hat , once fitted the window case is nice and snug. and I'll see how much room there is with a full set of cables and 'stuff' on the solid side before adding a lil dampening on that one.

Thanks for the heads up.
Received mine last week but only opened it up today, since new parts shall be arriving tomorrow. Disappointed see similar problem as others, front panel latches completely broken, meaning front panel won't close. I've contacted corsair but wonder whether I should just RMA the whole case and find a new one?
I looked the current issue of custom PC the other day in which they had the review of one of ocuks competitors prebuilt watercooled PC, it was using this case and the Maximus vi formula and seems they had the issues with the screws that I did as I noticed a lack of screws in the bottom left corner and bottom middle but due to the 780s etc couldn't see if they had missing screw just under the back panel.
They were using the corsair ax760 to power it even tho they had an oced 4770k(4.6ghz) and sli evga 780s(oced from the standard 863 mhz core to 963mhz and 6000mhz memory to 6200mhz), according to custom pcs tests it drew 590w tho I don't think that's using furmark. I've got the 4770k and planning on going either xfire 290x or sli 780/780ti depending on the performance of the new card/s, for that I got the ax860 but seems I could have saved a few quid and gone with the 760w model.

Sorry to hear that. There is no need to RMA the whole case. We can simply send you the damage parts free of charge. Post your ticket # if you have one and I can help out to process it quicker.
Are you missing a standoff? this?
I just received my replacement side panel. The best customer service i've ever used!
Everything was really straightforward and very quick! Thanks corsair
You're welcome. Glad to hear that you've got everything sorted
Greybeard there are issues fitting the formula board in a 750D period..
the standoffs that are 'mounds' in the 750D rather than the normal 5-6mm posts obstruct the armour on the rear of the formula,
Only by a mm or two, but they still cause a slight alignment problem
I didn't want to adjust (read file a small half moon) on the armour on the back, or leave it off so I've taken the decision to mod my 750D and it now fits a treat... after all once I've decided I'm happy with the case, it's not going back, so no problem modding the stand-off mounds rather than the easier armour, just in case the Motherboard has to go back at some point...
the width of the mounds at their base, or rather 4-5mm down from the top face catches in first a couple, but once they were relieved another 3 places... i.e. as the first Mod allowed the board to straighten up, the other 3 touched, so I've modded those now too, and it lines up perfectly, and no strength issues as the pressed mounds are super sturdy.
ref the catches on the front, if they don't know what you need they call them "push Tabs", and sent me 'eventually the similar part from the 800D part number CC800D-Doorlatch.
if you're already sorted, sorry, just trying to help, as they didn't grasp what I needed to start with, I only got one in the end, but mine do still work but are damaged henc the request for parts rather than RMA a massive case, despite a couple of false starts Corsair were brilliant, and instilled a great deal of confidence, finally tipping the balance in my Power supply choice..
for the record my case had the front aluminium sheet taped in place about 3/4" too high?? bizzare QC, but otherwise undamaged so all good (not OC for the case)

Apologies Greybeard after following your picture I see you knew about the problem already ...
If you are Corsair rep, do Corsair have a 'fix' ? it's a little too late for me now But I did ask on my RMA and got no reply from either written or two chat reps, both said they didn't know but would look into it, (I don't have an issue with them, that's just what they said) so although I am trying to read the German thread, i would be interested in Corsairs take on it? I assume the two items were just developed at the same time so incompatibility wasn't noticed before manufacture?
Greybeard I see that Bluebeard on the German site has already admitted that Corsair Now agree that the boards are not compatible? I'm now a bit miffed that they did not admit as much to me! I have gotten around the situation with a Dremel, and I'm very happy with the fit and security of the Motherboard Now, but it took far too much of my time and effort to work out what the problem was and rectify it without damaging anything or risking being unable to RMA anything if it failed to work or developed a fault. I too have a marked backplate as per the OP in the German site, but it is very minor and will never be seen so I 'sucked it up'...

No need to apologize. If anything, we are the one who needs to apologize.
The Obsidian 750D case is designed to accommodate ATX, E-ATX, mATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX, XL-ATX motherboards that are currently available in the market. Unfortunately, We have recently discovered that there has been a very slight miscalculation in terms of compatibility with one of the current Asus motherboards in the market, the Maximus IV Formula. Please bear in mind that, this is only exclusive with this particular MB, so all other MB is going to be fine. We would only expect this issue from the first shipment of the case, as a fix has already been implemented in production to accommodate the Maximus VI Formula. In the meantime, the only work around is to remove the rear I/O shield to fit the MB in place. If you do have this MB / Case combo and you’re having some issues fitting it, please contact our Support or me, and we will provide you a detailed instruction on how to get your compatibility issue fixed.
We do apologize for the inconvenience. Rest assured that, we will do our best to get this issue resolved as painless as possible.

I've fitted mine perfectly now, I posted some pics in the 750D thread, it's alittle extreme for most people, but one of the plus factors (placebo or not) of the formula was the armour so I didn't want to lose it, so I have modified(read dremel'd) the stand-off mounds to suit the motherboard...
It was a PITA compared to just fitting a motherboard, but in the grand scheme of things no big deal,the time lost offering up and deciding on the fault and how to rectify I'll never get back but I was just surprised corsair didn't respond to my question about it as I had read a couple of people had had issues with this combo... I'd be interested I your 'work around just for info please, although as I said I have taken my own action and very happy with it I'm still interested in your solution.
