You won't be able to. It's not really a permanent fix, it's just a work around for the time being. Only way to fix it for good it is to replace you with a newer batch of the 750D case. Best is to submit a ticket right now about this issue, so we can provide you a fix once the new batches are available.
Is that on the corsair site or on retailer site? I bought the case from elsewhere.
Ok will do, but quick question. Is the fix going to involve you swapping out the whole case or something else? If its the whole case will require me to dissamble tge pc then rebuild.
Sorry to say, Yes, the only way to correct this is to swap out cases.. I know its not the most convenient way, but that is the only way to get it corrected. No worries though.. we'll make sure that we process this as painless as possible.
These look very good value for money. Been looking at a setup to replace my current rig and this is favourite for the case
can't fault the corsair customer service(if greybeards posts on here anything to go by, however can't recommend this case unless they sort out the other niggles(not just the maximus vi formula compatibility). don't get me wrong its a nice case, just spoiled by the issues mentioned.
will I have to pay for postage to return the case to you?
We will not require you to pay anything at all.
Just a quick update, as work has prevented me looking in too much, but I completed my build last week and very pleased i am too.
If you've read the previous pages you will know I started off on a downer with this case effectively due to poor final qc/packing, but Follow up through the RMA process quickly sorted that out.
Then I spotted a number of Maximus VI formula board fitting issues and as thats what I had I was worried, but being an elec/mech engineer It was just a quick process of ok so why is it catching/where is it catching and how do I get over that (as my window for build was small) I relieved the areas of the stand-off mounds with a dremel which allowed the board to sit down how it should without fouling anything and fitment was then no different to any other case, to clarify the manual is wrong about the extra 4 stand-offs they are not included as they are not required... the single standard double ended stand-off is as already mentioned for initial location of the board in the case whilst fitting screws.
I'm no expert but I think it's a cracking case for a decent price, and whilst everyone expects and should get a perfect item when you open the box, if the RMA process is quick and painless, that's the next best thing, and the way I was dealt with by Corsair was the final push in my choosing a corsair PSU, as the contenders all had great reviews, but I had experienced Corsairs CS...
With Hind sight,returning a heavy PSU will probably be expensive, but as I said I'm new to all this , and hope it stays as perfect as how it arrived
I've obviously modified my case so won't be eligible for the new style case, but this was a concious decision as It was either change the case or the board at the time, and as I am more likely to have to RMA the Formula than a case once installed and i was confident I could make the board fit perfectly I went for the MOD, and am 100% Happy, nobody would be able to tell I'd modded about 6 stand-off mounds and the backplate material is so strong that it doesn't affect the strength of the mounds at all with regard to MB mounting.
An observation at this point is that although this case/board combo has proved ineffectual and the case has had to be changed, this type of 'mound' rather than the standard threaded hole, means the backplate is much stronger/more ridged due to the 3d effect of the pressings, so is otherwise a good idea.
I don't have any other issues with it thus far , although I haven't fitted anything to 5.25" yet, I had no problem stripping the case down whilst I worked on it , although on the qc side the top right securing screw for the usb/switch/led/headphone/mic section was missing (but oodles of provided screws meant I could pop in a spare.)
I'm only going for 1 3.5" 3TB along with a redundant 3.5" 250g (ex micro-server when I fully populate that with another 6TB) and the already fitted Samsung evo boot drive so I'm removing 2 x 3.5" cages to make more room and will custom fit the other 3.5" drives so that airflow from the front wont be impeded.
Sorry my quick update turned into a MONOLOG, I had intended to say it's great...buy it....

Hello Greybeard,
I have the same issues with mounting the Asus Maximus VI Formula motherboard into the case. I wasn't aware of any work arounds and I do managed to get it in but at the cost of probably some scratches to the back of the motherboard and a mounting screw left out. I have made a ticket with Corsair support so I would be very thankful if you could take a look. Also I had a problem mounting my AX860i PSU. Apparently it's a known issue that there is no room for the 4th screw because it will hit and scratch the PCB. Maybe you can take a look at that ticket too? Ticket number for case: #6315517 - AX860i PSU: #6315566.
Kind regards,
mintik

Since you can arrange the HDD cages in different configs, are supplementary cages available to fill all positions and give extra storage capacity? Looking at this for my fileserver, upgrading from an aging lian-li V2000 (upside down back-to-front mobo awful design) with 12 HDD bays. The SSD bays are nice and will free up regular bays for a bigger array, but 6 just won't cut it. 2 extra cages would bring me back to 12, but with bonus SSD bays.
Also, will a solid panel be available for this case, as per all previous obsidian series cases? Wish this was an option at purchase, or solid by default. Sound proofing is my main aim.
I had looked at a 900D, but I won't be running any watercooling more than an out-the-box closed loop for cpu, and it was a pretty average air cooler. ...and it is about 3mm too tall to fit under my desk
which would make any top mounted rad utter fail.
Apart from the above, anyone have any other suggestions for a bland "black monolith" style case with many 3.5" drive bays (preferably into double figures), sound proofing would be a bonus.

Has the updated case been released yet? I've been meaning to submit a ticket for the motherboard incompatibility but not done so yet, reading mintiks post seems there's an issue with the ax860 as well which I also have think I only used 3 screws.
I've used all 4? I typed a post on another forum on my phoone but think it got lost in the 'ether...'..
I held the PSU at a slight angle with my right hand whilst locating the threads and as I pulled them all up together I let go and it sits snug as a bug. but I just went to check and yes all 4 safe and sound?
is it top left you are missing? if so there is s a second mounting hole to the right iirc?
Hi IWANTBLUE,
The PSU I have is bought in March 2013. I think it was a faulty design with the first batch of AX860i's so that's why I cannot screw my 4th screw (Upper left) all the way in because it hits the PCB. So now I use only 3 screws. I asked for RMA and they replied already saying I can get a new PSU. This is the official corsair forum post: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=113241
Ahh No worries, I've had a read up so know what you're on about now....and the more I read I can't be certain I didn't actually use a different screw(shorter) I certainly had to use an odd screw somewhere in the case, as I remember going through the bag of case screws looking for a spare..
I haven't been anywhere near it since I completed the build, but aim to get some time in to start a wc set up soon
@mintik - Were you able to get your PSU replaced? I've looked at your ticket and looks like that was an inquiry about the 750D case and Maximus VI. To answer your question about the retooled 750D, no ETA at this point but we'll make an announcement once they are available. Keep that ticket you currently have and attach your invoice to the ticket. It'd a lot easier for our customer service to process your RMA when the time comes.
