Will an E-ATX Board fit in the new Corsair Obsidian500D

Hello,

Will a E-ATX board fit in the new Corsair Obsidian 500D SE RGB case. Since the normal Obsidian 500D can fit an E-ATX board.

Cheers.

So based on that, it would appear not.

Just based on the Other specs for the normal obsidian though it says the same thing:

But on a review like CNET, it says it can support a E-ATX that's where I am confused.

Well if you know where the mobo and case holes are, you can estimate if you'll need them all (i.e. the right edge in the picture above), but it would suggest that the board will overlap the cable management holes.

For what it's worth there are only three 'completed builds' on PC Partpicker, and none have E-ATX boards. Early days.

On PC part picker it says that it is compatible as well? So i'm not sure.
