The CPU is a 4790K @ 1,1-1,15v @ 4,5 - 4,6Ghz. I need to test the settings then because I think my actual config with 4,8Ghz @ 1,26v is to hard for every itx cooler. But I think 4,5 or 4,6Ghz are realistic.
Actually I am nog so sure wich RVZ I will choose. The RVZ02 is a beatifull little case, but the cooling could be a problem. RVZ01-e and 03 are nice too, but a little bit to high for my taste. I think I try the RVZ02 and then we will see. If i don't like it, I buy a 01-e or 03 and sell the 02.

I tested many coolers and none was as good as the Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Rev. B.
I use a Nocuta NF-A12x15 fan on it as it is more silent than the Scythe stock fan with nearly the same performance (slightly higher temperatures).
I'm running my i7-7700k with 4,8GHz @ roughly 1,3V (only gamestable) with 4,4GHz when AVX is used which seems to be stable at all applications.
All this at 80°C (~62°C over ambient), at a bearable level of noise.
This was made possible by first delidding the CPU and second modding the case as seen in my post.
I added the 3D printing parts to the original post as well.
Without such steps I think it's nearly impossible to place this hardware inside a small and sparsely vented case like the ML08 or RVZ02.

EDIT: For anyone cutting their sidepanels top and bottom, you may want to leave some bars standing and not just cut a hole at the whole length!
This could prevent the panel from going all wobbly and bending.

Hm nice mod. Naaa my plan is at the moment to run it at stock and mod it if I need to. With my oc we will see. Currently my System runs in a 900D (too big, it is from a time wh3n I was young and ... yeah dumb^^) with 2x 480 rads, both with 4 fans pushing. But I learned it is to big, and after I renovated I want something in the size of a console.The test's and reviews from the RVZ02 are good so I have big hopes that thats the right case. But I will see if when I have it. I know it will be a bit louder with air only cooling, but with optimising cooling, the cooling curves and the Thermal Compounds it can work. The cpu is delidded and works with Thermal grizzly Conductonaut under the headspreader.
Thank you verry much for yout informations.

For RVZ01, RVZ01-E, RVZ03, ML07, FTZ01 the CPU cooler height clearances are:
82mm without case fan
68mm with case fan

For RVZ02 and ML08, the clearance is 58mm

For more details, you can also download these cases' manuals directly from our website.

I was looking at the RVZ02 window version.
The case seems to be properly ventilated for GPU air intake, as those vents on the window allow for an open air GPU cooler to suck air in.
But then, on the top, there are no vents for the GPU what so ever.
Like in this image:


This can be bad, as the hot air being blown from the gpu fans has no place to escape the case.
With this in mind, has anyone drilled holes in the top window plexi piece?
Is it doable?

Cheers!

58mm official. But Talis say there are something round about 65mm. Some other People and 1 2 reviews say so too, so I think you guys from Silverstone need to measure again.
I hope there are realy more than 58mm, so i can use a other fan on top of the heatsink

I only spoke of 60mm clearance!

#7,088 ·
yeah my fail, I had a other measurement from a other projekt in my brain. Thats totaly right you spoke of 60mm.
Most measures in cases have reserves, but I think the right measurment without reserves would help much more. But maybe thats only my opninion.
Talis, how much space is in the chamber from the graphiccard? Are there any high limitations? I have 5 possible candidats of graphiccards I can shoose. The highest is 57mm tall, will it fit?
 
#7,089 ·
Haven't measured it yet and am very busy lately. May take me one to two weeks to get to it.
But you might want to check the heights of the cards already fitted in this case and I can contribute two custom pcb cards:
The MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X and the Asus GeForce GTX 1080 Ti ROG Strix OC.
Please check the measurements yourself as this can be tricky sometimes and may take a while to get reliable values, thanks.

The only thing I can say in general is that there are these two plastic blocks screwed in the corners, these might need to be removed when inserting a card.
This was the case with at least the Strix (don't remember for the Gaming X but I guess was the same). Afterwards it was possible to put them back in place (at least for the Strix, again I don't remember for the Gaming X).

Which wall? The one to the front of the case?


Does this answer your question? Or did you talk about the sidepanel?
The sidepanel sits tight on the card. I even had to cut some of the pins from the dustfilter to not stop the left fan from spinning and scratching over the card.
Please see my post about inserting the card for more details (some more pages back, try checking my posts only).

^ Wait is that a 1080 TI strix???
 
#7,093 ·
Yeah I mean the sidepanel (Wall/ Sidepanel... where's the difference?^^). But if it is tight with 52mm I can't use a 57mm card. That was what I needed to know. That's bad... the 57mm card was actually my favorite. Ok then i need to search for a other card.

Yes it is. You can view my rig or search for my posts in this thread to see more of it.

Ah sorry to hear.
Oh darn, I almost forgot, I also tested the Gigabyte Aorus and the previously released a little smaler Extreme 1080 (not TI but cooler should be the same) and they DON'T FIT. Even when I removed the cross on top of the middle fan it wouldn't fit.

Manufacturing tolerance may give you about 1mm more room but we are sticking with the 58mm for this case, anything more, your CPU cooler will probably make contact with the case internal. Perhaps some CPU cooler manufacturers measure their coolers differently than we do? We measure from the base of the cooler contact base to the top of the fan/heatsink. Similarly for cases, the clearance is measured from the top of the CPU to the case's side/top panel.

Yeah everybody works with reserves. 1mm by you (Silverstone) 1mm by the heatsink and 1mm by the fan and you have a little bit of a difference.
Sorry I used the wrong words to say it.
Like I said, my english writing is not so good.

But does it fit with the side panel on? I saw your album looks like the side panel was bent?
 
#7,098 ·
The 1080ti STRIX definitely touches the sidepanel and I also applied some noise blocking foam but I wouldn't call it "bent" yet. I see if I can provide you a clear shot this weekend.

EDIT: I tried to take some photos to show the "bending" but can't get it to look like it does in real life.
So you only can take my word for it and I'll choose my words once again.
Yes, it touches the sidepanel and there is a slight curve which will be noticed if looked at carefully. The case closes normally as designed with all clips in place.
The card only pushes it at its end where the power connectors are placed due to a lack of mounting point to the case and because I stored the power cables behind the card which are also driving the card further to the side. At the rear where the card is screwed to the case, it does not touch the sidepanel at all.
With an appropriate mounting clip in a way like it was provided by Silverstone (which does not fit a big card like the 1080ti STRIX) this could be prevented completely, I guess.

What would the best CPU cooler that I could fit in the case? I'm getting my FTZ01 later this month and am trying to figure out if its worth going away from stock cooler before I can afford to go custom loop. Mobo and specs listed below. Any advice for this build is appreciated, going from a very large case to my first mini-itx build
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
Mobo: ASrock fatality b350
Ram: EVGA 3200mhz ddr4 SuperSC
PSU: Corsair sf600
GPU: Gigabyte xtreme gaming 1070
Storage: 960evo m.2 and 2tb western digital black

I'm using the RVZ03 case with the same motherboard as you and a 1700. It's overclocked to 3.5ghz at 1.05v. I have tried the spire, original 125w wraith cooler and an id-cooling 120mm AIO. With the spire and a 120mm slim fan installed, my temps at idle is about 40 degree celcius, gaming temps 50 to 55. I see the same temps with the 125w wraith cooler but with a gentle typhoon strapped on instead of the original fan and without any case fan due to insufficient clearance. AIO temps are slightly lower (with slim silverstone fans), about 38 degree at idle and 50 to 52 during gaming. Pretty limited in cooler choices with such a small case.

P.S. My ambient temp is around 28 degrees celcius.
