Does anyone here have an Silverstone FT02 Fortress case with an 780 or 780ti GPU with the ref cooler installed ?

As I like to know how much gap there is left between the end of the GPU and bottom fan if one you guys could please measure this gap for me...;)
 
As I have one these cases on order and am thinking of maybe doing a setup something like this one with a triple 180 rad

I'm not sure that would be so effective. You'd have all the heat being dumped right into the case?

If you are wanting to watercool just get a case meant for it IMO, no hacking/modding needed on something like an Phantek's Enthoo Primo. I've just gone from the FT02B to one and have no regrets.

Have you bought the FT02 already? If no, don't bother if you want to watercool, it's really not built for it. If you've had the TJ07 then definitely get the Phantek's. Look at my build in the projects section, should give you an idea of space. You can get two quad's in there. :D

Dig around for reviews on clearance. I remember watching one on youtube for this case, can't seem to find it now.

I read somewhere that said there was 30mm clearance,
But that don't seen to add up as there many people that has fitted a triple 180 magic cool rad that is 35mm thick...like in the pictures I linked to above :confused:
