Thread Starter 
This should be a quick question, I have a case at the moment that is too cramped and the ventilation is poor,

Will a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 motherbaord fit in a Corsair Carbide Series 500R

A GA-990FXA-UD7 is quite a large motherboard. If it will not support this motherboard do you have any recommendations?

This is my currant case(Frontier VS04A) It's extremely crammed rolleyes.gif
Thank you, I am really grateful for ANY help.

Not sure if serious.

I mean, the board is definately corner to corner, but it really looks like things fit.

Yes! The 500r will def fit your motherboard. I have a Extended Atx in my 500r and it it holds it fine except for the back sata ports are blocked out. Its a easy fix though if you have a dremel.
Ventilation is just ok with the stock corsair fans. I recommend getting some higher cfm fans for the front intakes.

The 990 ud7 dimensions are 12" x 10.35". My G1 sniper is just a bit wider at 12" x 10.39". So if you need those back sata ports i recommend getting a larger case. thumb.gif

Ladies and Gentleman! I got my case the other day and have swapped the case and neatened all my cables not that I have the ability to do so with this case..., Unlike my other rolleyes.gif

Here as some pictures, if you don't mind please tell me what you think... I just would love if the Corsair PSU had better braiding mad.gif

This is it completely off:

This is it powered up with flash...

I'm going to be getting a Rasa 750 RS240 WaterCooling Kit and a Corsair Force Series GT 240GB SSD soon biggrin.gif
So I'll post some new pictures then rolleyes.gif

Thank you!
