SilverStone Technology Rackmount Compatibility RM42 502 X Review

I am using this for a gaming server that I installed in a server rack. It runs on an Intel i7-11700K and an Asus motherboard. The cooler is an EK-AIO cooler which I chose because according to the specs it had the longest hoses to the pump and also the top hose looked lower than the other options when side mounted as required in this case. The case offers a lot of space since it is basically a tower case with rack rails attached to it. It is suitable for standard desktop/tower power supplies…

This case was FUN to build a rackmount PC with a full ATX Titan V motherboard (two slots), GPU, Standard power supply and liquid cooling to build radiators and more. Quality construction, solid construction, looks great in the rack. Includes magnetic dust cover. The USB-C port and headphone/microphone jack on the FRONT of the case make it ideal for a desktop PC in a rack that needs to use a headset from time to time. Ideal for creative people, engineers with a lot of video calls, video editing,

Bought this as my first rackmount chassis and so far have not disappointed. Using a 5950x with PBO enabled and an Arctic Freezer II 240 AIO where I replaced the stock fans with Noctua industrial 2000rpm fans, my peak temperature is around 74°C with the fans at 75% (PBO enabled at an acceptable speed for 200MHz over the standard Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master.Max temperature was 55C at factory settings.) Despite being a rackmount case, I admire Silverstone for offering vertical tower adjustment and…

In general, a case that I have been looking for for a very long time. ProsAbility to install a 240mm radiator or two 120mm fans in the front.Ability to install a long GPU. Room for two 80mm fans on the back Cons Difficult to find 4U coolers for Ryzen CPUs over 3700x Rear fans need to be bigger Top fans would be good Difficult to get guide rails Suggestions for improving the 280mm wheel Ability for CPUs that require more cooling Front panel could be more open to airflow

AWESOME case. Fits all standard 240mm sealed liquid coolers. The ext ATX board fitted well. also offers good space for 2.5 SSD drives. We have 4 of them.

Great fit and finish, great layout. The front connector works great. Each plug is marked with polarity, EACH screw is divided into individual pouches, and each pouch is labeled for a specific purpose. My only gripes would be the better LED display on the front of the drive and whether the drive bay and front power panel latches could be two separate devices (I don't need the bay, but the panels are good and require the bay). installed ) - Apart from that, Silverstone, you've done a really good…
