Yes i think so...

HD 5870, about 11" long.

Raven RV02 specs.:



The height is 50.3 cm ~ 20", so I think HD 5870 can fit into RV02 if you remove the bottom fan. I highly not recommend RV02 case, RV01 is better and more cheaper.

3 fans at the bottom, of course more cooler, with high air pressure, the air is focused at the mainboard [all hardware included], but still, overall RV01 is better than RV02, atx mid-tower can't defeat atx full tower, as the owner rv01 and rv02 owner, you should know better right? No need to compare and explain more. He..he..

But to be honest, I like the rv02 case as my mid-tower chassis. Dust filters, rv01 and rv02, the dust will difficult to enter the case. Silverstone raven series is the best for me, right now.

Loo, xperasan, 8 pci slot?

Hmm...about the ssd, sdd is smaller right? So i can put the ssd into the hdd cage, or at the bottom hdd cages....he...he...creative...or wait for silverstone or any manufacturer to release 2.5" cage or ssd's cage...

GC will become longer or bigger, especially for sli or crossfire lover, it will be more comfortable if the use the rv01, rather than rv02...

Just change the fans. As long your system is still stable, is ok. Let's see the result.

Even your gc temperature is more than 80 degree, if your system is stable, there is nothing to worry about.

About your cpu temperature, it is normal for overclocker. 4 GHz, better use liquid cooling system. You're extreme overclocker for me...ha...ha...

Silverstone FT01 Fortress?

The case fan at the rear is 120mm....

Raven RV01, the main problem is, motherboard's orientation, not good for some gc like msi lightning series, remember the air flow is one direction from bottom to top...another problem, we cannot put many fans like other cases, "normal case"..

Oh, about heat, no heat issues with me, but if u want to install a liquid cooler like Corsair H50, better don't choose raven rv01...not very suitable as Corsair recommend 120mm fan install as an intake configuration...

This case is superb in cooling actually, I love the basic thermodynamic concept, remember gc become longer, more longer the gc, is better as the gc will so close with the 180 mm intake man at the bottom lol XD

Read user opinion at newegg.com, better....

LilRazor: Wah, nice!

Hmm...corsair h50....not suitable with raven rv01, air cooling better...

No, i already did...

I don't understand, how it can become ugly?

No, don't worry, it's better and more easy to apply than the wax, trust me. That liquid will flow like a water (its color too)

I use this:



Very cheap RM 2.70 je, heheh

I applied too much at 3 points (left,right,center) for the front bay door, the results, too extreme, better than a new rv01.

Plus my old (I though already broken) 120 mm fans runs much more smoother (repaired) after i use this liquid.

Hahah, agreed

-Tower cooler -> at least mid-tower to be safe

-Asus rampage II extreme -> ATX Form Factor, 12 inch x 10.6 inch ( 30.5 cm x 26.9 cm ), One inch greater than standard ATX form factor - HTPC failed

-HD 5970 can be fit in this cases -> HTPC - CW02 | Mid tower - RV02 & FT02 ~must be small as possible heh?~


I recommend FT02 or RV02

Maybe u should choose another mobo with normal atx form factor if u really want htpc chassis (silverstone CW02), but i am not so sure about the psu...

Very easy, i sent an email to silverstone support to give a guide on how to remove the 180 mm fans
