Are there pre-installed mounting holes for E-ATX motherboards in the Corsair 900D?

[Michael_108]

I'm planning on getting the ASUS Rampage V Extreme Extended ATX Motherboard for my build in the Corsair 900D and while I was watching a video he mentioned there being mounting holes for ATX motherboards pre-installed and I am wondering if that is the same with E-ATX ones too. Thanks in advance.

You may have to install the standoffs for the EATX but the holes are there. (And the standoffs are included)

Yes. The specs plainly state that. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/obsidian-series-900d-super-tower-case

According to Corsair the case supports E-ATX, so I'll assume that means it does indeed have E-ATX mounting holes. Besides this is a gigantic case, marketed towards enthusiasts, so I would highly doubt they wouldn't support EATX. http://www.corsair.com/en/obsidian-series-900d-super-tower-case

Thanks for the help.

They may support the size of the motherboard, but not the appropriate mounting holes. That's what I'm asking, but thanks anyways

In order for a case to meet the specs for any ATX standard they have to have the capability to mount it. So if the specs list it, it will install.

If they support the E-ATX size board, then they have pre-drilled and tapped holes for the board. That's what "supports" means.

Since you seem like you know what you're talking about, do you happen to know if you can fit 2 reservoirs (one in front of the other) which eliminates the second set of cable holes, and also fit an E-ATX motherboard in and still have enough clearance to use the first set for stuff like your 24pin connector? Kind of a hard question to answer haha.

I cant speak for sure (since there are different RES sizes, and I havent used the case) but you shouldnt have an issue if you plan it out.
The 900D is one of the largest cases out there, if you are trying to make something fit this is the case.

Why two though?

I am using the EK X3 250, if that helps. Also I'm using two reservoirs mostly because of aesthetics and it was easier to run the tubing with two loops. Lastly, I saw a video on YouTube about Corsair's Watercooled 900D build, which was reviewed by tek syndicate, and it looked like about a third of the mounting holes were covered by the motherboard, which is obviously enough, but I'm just hoping they are using an E-ATX motherboard too.

I cant speak with 100% confidence as I dont do custom loops (or work with the 900D) (Im too cheap to do that XD) but you should be able to make it work.

If you're going with a high end cooling system like that, I would consider getting a better case like Caselabs. Their cases are meant exactly for high-end watercooling, and will definitely fit anything you can throw in there.

I was actually initially going to go with a CaseLabs SMA8. Im actually not to fond of the look of the case, which normally shouldnt matter, but still. It is definitely an option if the 900D turns out not to work out with the water cooling I'm going to be doing.

Well good luck. I would love to see how the build came out when you're done.
