rk7596 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Currently have an AXP-140 installed in my SG07. I plan to 'upgrade' (meh) to the RVZ01 or the RVZ02. If I can reuse this $70 beast of an air-cooler in the RVZ01, I'll go that way. If I can't, I'm going to look into possible AIO liquid coolers (or lower-profile air coolers) for the RVZ02.Silverstone's page lists a CPU cooler height limitation of 83mm. Thermalright's web site (and this image) show that the cooler alone is 70.2mm. With a typical 120mm fan, that height increases to 95.2mm.So my question is: does Silverstone's listed CPU cooler height limitation include a fan, or not? I've sent them an email, but it's been awhile, and I figured I'd take a stab at finding owners of these cases/this cooler. The AXP-140 is the king of ITX CPU coolers, gotta be a few out there, right?More importantly, this information isn't available anywhere web, even to those with a black belt in Google-Fu, so this thread could live for Google search posterity for people who're interested in these two chassis.

Waco Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I would assume the measurement includes the fan, the case manufacturer has no way of knowing what kind of fan you'll use. I don't know of any good 10mm thick 120mm fans either. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rk7596 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Gonna bump this once and only once...Does ANYONE have an AXP-140 in use in a Silverstone RVZ01? I'm guessing it'd work with the fan included with the case... but I want to be sure. ._. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Page 32 in the manual shows that you have to remove the case fan if you want 83mm of clearance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Buddy if you are looking for that kind of performance a self contained water cooler looks like the best option. 83mm of clearance just isn't enough for any lay down 120mm coolers I know of.
