Silverstone Raven RVZ02 Mini ITX Case Review

Building a small form factor system can sometimes be challenging however, the RVZ02 makes the process rather easy, with a few steps.

The first step should always be the motherboard and power supply.  They sit right next to each other with a good amount of cable clearance between them.

Keep in mind cooler clearance when building in the RVZ02 you are allowed a maximum of 58mm.  For this review I decided to use the Intel OEM cooler and GSKill Trident memory.  Both appear to sit well inside the case.

If you are looking to do aftermarket cooling Silverstone offers the Argon Series AR06 cooler and I suspect several of the Noctua designs will fit as well.

Installing the video card requires the use of a riser card and must be installed after the motherboard has been secured.  The card with the brass standoffs mounts directly to the chassis divider and the extension ensures the video card will make contact with the riser.

The video card installs normally.  I am using a reference designed GTX 980 Ti with the EVGA ACX 2.0 cooler and is only 10.5 inches long.  As the photos show the card fits in there nicely with some room to spare.
