Silverstone FT02w b with Hardware Labs Black ICE SR-1 560mm,FANS - 4 x 140mm Cougar Vortex HDB (CF-V14H(rad) 1 x 120mm Cougar Vortex PWM (CF-V12HP)(upper exhaust fan,Shoggy Sandwich,ek 4.0 pump,alphacool dual bay res, rasa CPU block cooling a i5 2500k @4.4 currently and a wf3 7950 @ 1150/1450(but not yet need block).

I'm completly new to wc the case has already been modded and has the fans and rad fitted I have a few questions does this look like a build that will last a good while? With potential good temps? Will my 7950wf3 fit?! Does it have a good scope for adding more components to cool and do it well? I know it currently has a 670 fitted but that's 10" and mine is 11.2".
Is it a good case?
Are my parts I've picked gonna e good enough for the job?

Any help is much appreciated.
 
im pretty sure by the looks of it is that your not going to be able to fit a 560mm rad in there,you would be able too if you didnt have a big gpu but the 7950 is 12 inches long and even if you only had the 180mm fans in the bottom it wouldnt fit.watercooling wise ek pump is good,get a ek or xspc dual bay res with the pump fitted to save space.if you want a good watercooling case go for the nzxt range as the fto2 is a air cooling case really.
 
thanks for the reply joshcowin
just measured my card and its 10.5" not including mounting bracket from pcb to end of cooler,11.2" from mounting bracket to end of cooler.

if this all does fit will it be a pretty good cool running setup you think? dont wanna have to do another build for awhile and would like this to last a few years just hoping this would be upto the task tbh.
 
I have a 180mm x 3 (45mm thick) rad in the bottom of my rv02.

Demciflex custom filter underneath so I could remove the fan mounts.

With that config, 35mm for fans (or is it 30? idk) and 45mm for rad leaves me about 10mm spare to the bottom of my 680 lightnings

how thick is your radiator? and optimalnrg the 680s are 10 inches long and the 7950 would be at minimum 12.5mm too long
 
nah my 680s are over 11 inches long

anyway re-reading the OP: are you buying this pre-built from someone or something? I have no idea how that rad is configured and whether the 7950 would fit..
 
im buying it off a member on here but at the time werent sure if the 7950 would fit but its looking like i can just about squeese it in.

the four 140mm fans sit on the base of the case then the rad is on top the rad is 55.9mm thick.
thinking if its too tight putting the rad on the bottom of the case then putting the fans on top to pull air and remove the fan thats under the gpu to give me more room.
