Onto the topic of clearance – this is of supreme importance to the enthusiast. It identifies what hardware will fit inside the chassis and reveals how flexible RV03 really is.

Whilst RV03 is rather wide in its dimensions part of this has been given to the generous clearance behind the motherboard tray and so as a result there isn’t lots of space for the CPU cooler. That said, it will accommodate the bigger flagships like Noctua NH-D14 which is 160mm in height. Pictured is Noctua NH-U12P which is 158mm.



The end of the graphics card points in the direction of the bottom of the RV03 and there is enough space here for up to 12” and beyond. Pictured is NVIDIA GTX 480 which is 11” in length.



In terms of radiator support for water-cooling RV03 will accommodate standard radiators at the bottom but the thicker type that are approx. 6cm thick like Phobya G-Charger could well struggle to fit due to clearance issues.

Lastly onto the clearance behind the motherboard tray. As you would expect this area is especially generous with approx. 5cm between the motherboard tray and the side panel. This allows for excellent cable management – as you have seen on the previous page, keeping a clean, tidy internal layout isn’t a problem at all.
