All MSI CoolMaster Cases Broken!
Just a heads up again, I recently purchased a MSI CoolMaster Case and after building the computer you can't power it up. Today I received a job to replace the motherboard which I did but upon finishing the job once again the computer will not power up, the MSI CoolMaster case all seem to be bugged. I would suggest to all not to purchase any MSI CoolMaster cases or take any jobs that have a MSI CoolMaster case.

I even tried running the Verify integrity of game files, it found nothing, and also saved my game, exited out of game and restarted machine and then steam, nothing works, this has happened before I am positive it's an issue with the MSI Cases.

As of now I will have to quit job and return the PC to the customer at a lose and take a bad rating on Bongle all at the cause of the bogus case once again. their really nice looking cases but all bugged, have never been able to use any of the MSI cases, hope they fix this soon or just remove them from the game until they can be fixed.

Seems to be working fine to me.

Same for me, all working fine, took out the I/O cable and reconnected it just to check (did not strip all as it was only a CPU fan broken)

@ OP do you use the full autocable tool ? I don't in my career
I find it quite annoying and reacting strangely in freebuild mode

Could you share a save of that issue ?
So we (and maybe devs as well) can try that on your save ?

the problem with this case is the front panel connector, it does not light up but the connector for it is net to the hard drive bay, make sure to plug it in.

Or you know.. just use the auto-connect tool and press the power button and not even concern yourself with the cable or finding it or where it is or any of that nonsense. That's what I did and it works 100%.

While using any MSI case's and being in cable mode all is connected, nothing left to connect, nothing highlighted as not being connected, still doesn't turn on. Many many hours of game play so It's not like I have forgotten to connect something and If I had it would be highlighted while in cable mode where you connect everything. They just don't work and I have seen many many post in here expressing the same issue so i know it's not just me. Search MSI Coolmaster case won't power on you will see. Just posted this to let the developers know that there is an issue so maybe in a future update they fix the problem.

You still did not answer BonPadre's question: Are you using the auto connect cable upgrade, or not? I have a feeling if you were using this upgrade that you would find the cases do work correctly and normally. I did a quick build in free build mode yesterday with all the upgrades selected in the case in my screenshot above. I pressed the power button, the cables auto-connected, the system turned on and ran normally. Everything's fine, these cases turn on and run and work normally. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong what so ever.

Ok I get it the issue lays in YOUR title
So change it

I copy paste YOUR title

Keyword ALL... all means ALL, every of them, no matter which MODEL you choose.

I guess both Aquafawks and I litterally took it to the wording and went with one of the MSI Cooler Master.
I took for my tries the Cooler Master MasterBox 5 MSI Edition
I very often use the Cooler Master MasterBox 5 (white)
None of them never had an issue...

BUT and that's the big BUT... The Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5 MSI Dragon Edition has a problem while connecting MANUALLY the cables.
If you have autocable tool, it will work.

So OP, while you are right, your first pic of that case straight lined up from the side did not give me the clue of WHICH CoolerMaster case it was (and me not beeing familiar with the Dragon version, I don't even know if internals are identical), your title was misleading, and resulting from that I guess we all lost our time and aggravated you negating your report.

Beeing precise is helpful. To ALL of us, and specially to DEVS.
