Stack effect cooling RAVEN RV01 case - part 2

This video demonstrates the "stack effect" ability of the RAVEN RV01 case with a fanless system build. Components used are: Intel Core i7 920 CPU, Thermalright HR01 CPU cooler, ASUS Rampage II Extreme motherboard, Corsair Dominator TR3X6G1600C8D DDR3 memory, AMD Radeon HD 4850 graphics card, Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev.2 GPU VGA cooler, SilverStone Nightjar ST45NF PSU.

they wont show the temps cause its going to be very hot, what they are trying to prove is that it takes colling in a natural way. hot air raises, wont have to worry about the heat from the gpu affecting the cpu. 2 thumbs up for silverstone, great inovation

What are the temps like at this 30min point?

If they can prove the case can keep a 920+4850 rig at reasonable temperatures while fanless... this case could take off big time.

Puget actually did a comparison of cooling this case as it's meant to be used and if you turn it so the the motherboard is oriented like a normal tower case and found that the "stack effect" didn't affect the temperature at all. Apparently the force of the stock fans on their lowest setting is far greater than any forces related to the buoyancy of hot air. Google for "Puget dissects vertical vs. horizontal chassis cooling"

I'd still buy an ft02 because they're pretty, if it wasn't so expensive.

Sooo... temps? FFS!

@produKtNZ go get a life, "cooling" is just one spelling mistake, and its a typo, lame bastard no other work other then to troll around on youtube comments

[produKtNZ]

@VIVICK I don't care if this comment is two years old, your spelling is still atrocious

How can you make a case today and not include a cutout in the motherboard tray for the CPU cooler?

[TmXGolden]

Does this case suport xl-atx motherboards? Like the msi big bang marshal?

[Nefus1988]

A major flaw: To much plastic! The exterior should be in aluminum and I wish it had a hole at the mobo tray.

Ooookay....?
