Anyone here using Bitfenix Prodigy Case?
the PSU extension cable design is kinda flaw.
Doesn't seem to work with Seasonic PSU

The extension cable head, the orientation doesn't fit the seasonic psu. be it the PSU fan is facing in or outwards the case.

does it happen to you?

Erm, u trying to connect the extension cable direct to the psu?

Ya. But the angle of the extension cable doesn't fit the seasonic m series psu. The angle cable end(imagine 90degrees facing down, the end of the angle is the thick cable) is always facing the case which doesn't allow me to connect it at all. Jialat sia

The extension cable is supposed to be connected to the psu cables header, not direct to the psu.

So, it should be psu - stock psu cable - bitfenix extension cable.

hey yup i know. sorry if my drawing abit fail LOL.
the orientation of the extension cable is different with PSU. the male and female.
yes, i did try to orientate the extension cable head to the PSU, however the "thick" side of the extension cable will block by the case, therefore i can't connect.

SLT got this kind of "head" to screw in the case? below the IO port.

For the IEC head, yes. SLS and SLT do sell.

oh. sian need spend money again. lol. i scare wrong sia, better bring the extension there, ask them for the reverse one.

but the adapter side must be able to screw into the case

@Gaoxing84

There is no need to buy an extension for the PSU, there is a screw near where the PSU is to be mounted at the case, you need to remove that screw so that i frees the housing, after which connect the extension to the PSU first then mount the housing to the psu then put it back into the case and screw it. Hope you can see the thumb screw in the picture on the left side.

i know. the extension cable that comes with the case, the orientation of the angle female plug head cannot be fitted on the psu male "hole.

The psu male "hole" is upside down. Therefore both orientation doesn't fit. Yes i know can flip the extension angle female adpater but the portion that i highlighted will come in contact with the case, i can't fully press it in. Will try again and see how. most likely is cannot.
