I've always liked Xigmatek. They make some quality products, and the Utgard is just another great product from Xigmatek!

We have recently brought home a Xigmatek and I tell you it is fabulous comprising of such excellent features and giving commendable results.

I have just received this case and am having trouble fitting in a Asus P6X58D-E mobo ... it seems that the protusions on the motherboard (on the rear side) do not match the cut out on the case. Or is it me? I am a complete novice. Can anyone help?

 

[AMDFTW]

do the motherboard standoffs match the holes on the mobo?

You have to use the motherboard standoffs mate, you dont mount the board straight into the case...

OK, please ignore me - new user error! I forgot to add the spacer screws!

Thanks for your help.

A really good case, Iv'e got the standard version with two side fans installed, should mention that the HDD drive caddy is fixed with two small black screws to the rear that are fairly well hidden, I spent 20 minutes trying to pull the damn thing out before I noticed lol, no mention of them in the manual, Hi to all btw

I've had this case for a while now, and what really annoys me, is that the front audio jack has reversed R/L channels. Whatever I do, I can not make it work properly. I found a temporary solution, though



However, I am going to receive some new goodies for my PC tomorrow, so I am going to have another look into it.

It's not the soundcard (Xonar DX), because it worked in another two cases just fine.

I have the exact same problem with my Utgard, my solution was simply to use an extension cable from the port on my soudn card instead. It's very annoying though, let me know if you come up with a solution.
