    Obsidian 650D and USB 3 query

    Mr Corsair

    I am looking at buying the 650D. Also looking at buying a new AMD 990FX based motherboard. These now have proper usb 3 internal headers.

    Will Corsair be introducing a new front panel to include USB 3 ports that will plug into the new on board header? I don't want to route the current cable through to the back of a motherboard to make use of them.

    That was something I was wondering as well, as I did not want to do that. At present I have not found a Corsair one, but for my Z77 Sabertooth motherboard Im fitting this instead. http://www.scan.co.uk/products/akasa...e-usb-30-cable.

    Simple answer is no, which I think is wrong is this day and age that you have to get your own. I have a 650 & the Akasa that Scarletsboy posted and they work fine.

    Corsair stated they wouldn't be updating any cases using the pass through USB cable setup on their own forums:

    Indeed this is very disappointing.

    yep i have this case too and its a shame having to run the wires all the way through, you could use an adaptor to keep the wires internal like this:

    Urm, yeeah, I'm gonna have to ask you to go ahead and er... edit your post on the basis that a link to the exact same product was already posted in the first reply to this thread. That'd be great.
