Well, I have some good news and some bad news.
The good news is, the Maximus V Formula fits fine in the Scout. Didn't run into any clearance issues whatsoever fitting the board in the case.
Now the long list of bad news:
So for those planning on getting a Maximus V Formula with the Scout, the board fits fine, but be warned, you lose quite a bit of your cable management space.
The good news is, the Maximus V Formula fits fine in the Scout. Didn't run into any clearance issues whatsoever fitting the board in the case.
Now the long list of bad news:
- Cable management has gone out the window. Can no longer put the motherboard cable behind the mobo and through the top hole as there's only enough room now for the smaller cables from the front panel and the power cable for the Blu-ray drive. It's just kind of tucked underneath my GPU right now, looking kind of bad.
- There's a molex power connection on the bottom of my motherboard that I cannot plug in because it's pointing down and the PSU is right in the way of it fitting. Doesn't seem to be affecting anything, but might be the power connection for my SLI, so if I do get a 2nd 670, may run into issues there.
- Because of these issues, I may have to let my Scout go and pick up a bigger case, which I'm still deciding on.
- Seems to be an issue with the top 2 SATA ports as they are really close to the top of the HDD cage and it's difficult to plug in the ports there unless you have the smaller ended SATA cables. They're only SATA II so only my Blu-ray drive is connected to them, so kind of wasn't a big deal for me.
So for those planning on getting a Maximus V Formula with the Scout, the board fits fine, but be warned, you lose quite a bit of your cable management space.
