Decided to keep my i7 system going for a few more years so a new case was on the cards. Saw a Silverstone Raven 5 reviewed earlier and was waiting for the Fortress to be released (love sleek looking cases). Got a bit impatient and bought a review sample Raven instead.
Old with the new.
Inside current case, even with the fan on the GPU area I didn't think the case had enough airflow
Twin 180mm fans, should help a bit
Cable tidying very tight at the back with the SSD's
Inside the case, enough room for long cards, hard drives etc. Lots of airflow!
My only disappointment was the built in fan controller only has switches for the two fans already connected and no extras, and there's no drive bays for any external fan controller. Need to look into using the motherboard headers with a splitter.
Just did some cable management on it, only annoying thing was the bottom screws on the H60V2 have worn the threads so they're barely holding it in, and one of the plastic tabs holding the front fascia on broke off.
Specs are:
MSI Z87I, Core i5 4670K @ 4GHz, 8GB DDR3 2133MHz, MSI GTX 670 PE OC 2GB, Samsung 250GB EVO (under the Corsair H60V2), Samsung 500GB 2.5" SATA and SG05 with 450W PSU.
Temps: CPU 27 C idle, 69 C load + GPU 30 C idle, 71 C load.
