I hope to see some watercooling in this. If I'd not already broken my wallet getting some 290X cards I'd have definitely built a system in this baby.

Silverstone Raven RVZ01 / RVZ02 / ML07 / ML08 / FTZ01 Owners Club
Hello! Welcome to the Silverstone RAVEN RVZ/ML/FTZ Case Club @ OCN!! There aren't many case clubs here at OCN dedicated to HTPC using this awesome case from Silverstone. If you would like to join the club, post some pics/ description of your build. Once we have enough members, we can become an "Official" club here at OCN.
Introduction:
Since the original RAVEN RV01 debuted in 2008, the RAVEN team at SilverStone has demonstrated many times how it can truly define or defy computer enthusiasts' expectations of what a performance PC is capable of in both form and function. For 2014, the team had a new target, which is to exceed and reshape the small form factor landscape with another breakthrough case design. The result of this effort is a new line of case products called RAVEN Z. As the first model, RVZ01 is unlike any SilverStone small form factor cases before it. Utilizing a PCI-E riser and custom designed fans, this slim, 14 liter case is capable of housing the biggest consumer graphics card on the market with superb air cooling performance and the ability to support liquid cooling*. Designed for use in either vertical or horizontal orientation, it can be placed comfortably in any space-constrained environment that requires a powerful PC. For those that have been waiting to make the move to small form factor computing with a truly standout case to build with, the RVZ01 is it.

Hi all!
I'm also looking into setting up a RVZ01-based system running a GTX 970. I've been digging around for information, including in this extremely helpful thread, but details on which GTX 970 cards are compatible with the case, and to what degree, are proving elusive.
From the RVZ01 Owners Build Components List and previous posts I get the following:
ASUS GTX970 Strix: can't use the graphics card holder and the corner of the card clashes with the power connector, requiring the power cable to be re-routed outside the case (any card whose circuit board or cooler sticks out immediately past the PCI-E bracket may have similar issues)
EVGA GTX 970 FTW: fits in the graphics card holder and has no issues
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 4GB: fits in the graphics card holder and has no issues
Zotac GeForce GTX 970: apparently compatible, but no further information provided
MSI Geforce GTX 970: Fits in the case and doesn't clash power connector, but does not fit in the graphics card holder.
Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming: cooler clashes with GPU bracket (can be fitted by modifying the bracket)
GV-N970IXOC-4GD (mini-ITX card): corner of the card may clash with the power connector?
MSI GTX 970 Gaming: fits the graphics card holder and can be installed with a bit of wiggling (just need to tilt the top part with the heatpipes into the case first), according to Slyce. Some other posters suggest that it shouldn't fit due to width (141mm).
So far the issues encountered have either been the cooler clashing with the graphics card holder or the corner of the card clashing with the power.

Power Supplies:
Look at Silverstone watercooling instructions also.
Custom Water Cooled Setup
1 Custom Water Cooled build by Djanice
Optical drives:
Mainboard, CPU, GPU, RAM
For those components you are pretty much free to choose the components that you like. Any Mini-ITX mainboard will do with a corresponding CPU up to the most highend models like Intels Core i7 series. Look for the Google Doc for user experiences as some combinations will not work or need modifications, which would void the waranty. Be aware of tall components on the mainboard that may interfere with the CPU cooler or CPU coolers that hinder the first of usually two RAM slot to be used.
For graphics cards you can use nearly any full blown highend card, as the length should be no issue. Some coolers on those cards may be higher than the PCI I/O panel on the back, that will interfere with the power socket of the case, like with a ASUS Radeon R9 280X DirectCU II in my build.
- Silverstone ST45SF-G 450W PSU 450W - can power a GTX 780/780ti and with a mild OC 4770k (Silverstone PP05-E flat cable set recommended)
- Silverstone ST600F-G 600W PSU (already comes with the flat cable set)
- Silverstone NT06-Pro
- Noctua NH-L12
- Cooler Master GeminII M4
- Thermalright AXP-100 or AXP-100 Muscle

I am hoping to see the same. I was expecting Linus to make a custom build in this case since he has had the case since the beginning of the year. I think he had made some comments of wanting to get a build up by end of January with water cooling.
I don't see those 15mm slim fans being sold on Silverstone's site, wonder if they will place those up for sale.
I haven't bought this case yet, but will most likely be pulling the trigger this weekend.Originally Posted by drunkenvalley

Can I be in the club? I pulled the trigger last Monday. Will have mine tomorrow. Not doing anything great in the build but it will be a EVGA Z87 Stinger, 4670k, GTX 670, and 8GB of ram. Have been looking forward to this case since the CES 2013. I will be doing a AIO cooler and it will be mounted like it is in the Tiki.

Yup, definitely. I don't have this case yet and I'm still debating if I'm going to get it, but I wanted to create a club thread since this was out and nobody had done so yet.Originally Posted by Drerex

Here is an assortment of pics from my adventures with this case so far. I'll be taking it back apart as soon as the rest of my parts get in so I will take better pictures (not with my potato phone) at that point.

Some goodies
![biggrin.gif]()
![WP_20140212_001.jpg]()
The risers are black, unlike the ones I saw in reviews which were green!

PSU bracket.. important note: put your 3.5" hard drive on top BEFORE you install it.
![WP_20140212_004.jpg]()
Board fitted, the standoffs for the PCU bracket can and will touch the board unless you push them as far away from each other before you secure it.

Silverstone 25mm fans from my PS07

I was not provided with a screw that fit the GPU bracket so I improvised
![WP_20140212_012.jpg]()
Gap between a single slot and the 25mm fans.... I now have a dual slot card in there and it works fine with the 25mm fans as well.

Looking good... it works

Now to take it all back apart and try to manage cables! This is how she sits for now until my slim drive and GPU come in, then I will take it all apart again and install an AIO cooler on the CPU.

Wow, I'm glad I have no intention of using this case without making my own powersupply cables.

I think I might do the same. The clutter you see by the PSU is because the Silverstone cables that came with the PSU were too short to reach all of my drives, so I ended up using a molex and a SATA power from an Antec unit that had the same pinouts.Originally Posted by drunkenvalley

Waiting for the ML07. I wish they would make this smaller like the Valve Steam Machine.
Sony Playstation 4 = 12 x 10.8 x 2.1 inches, 4.5 Liters
Microsoft Xbox One = 10.9 x 13.2 x 3 inches, 7 Liters
Valve Steam Machine = 12.4 x 12 x 2.9 inches, 7 Liters
Silverstone Raven RVZ01 = 15 x 13.8 x 4.1 inches, 14 Liters

You guys think we should add the ML07 to this thread too or should that be separate?

ML07 is the same basic case with different exterior (kind of like the PS07/TJ08) so I don't see why it can't go in here. I might get one of those when it comes out as I like the look of it better.

So a quick update on temps. I have an HD 7850 OC'd to 1000mhz and the i5 4670k at 4.0ghz with the stock intel fan. During BF4 the max temp I see is 58-60*C GPU and 50-55*C CPU, this is with only one slim 120 over the CPU as an intake and one full size 120 over the GPU as intake (the second fan is disconnected as it was making some bearing noise). Lots of hot air comes out the top so it seems the case works quite well thermally as I expected from a Raven series case.

Anyhow, what's the biggest graphics card that'll fit in there you guys reckon?
