Raven Rv03, Titan V2, Switch 810? Does the convection work?

Hey all,

I've been looking at the Rosewill Titan v2, the CM Storm Trooper, the NZXT SWITCH 810, and the Silverstone Raven RV03, or even the Corsair C70.

I really liked the idea of convection aiding in the cooling; however, Silverstone states that they advise against using almost all modern graphics cards due to the orientation of the cooling fins.

On the other hand, the fans ARE blowing at the cards the same way as, nearly, every other case design; so how bad could it be?

I'm looking to air cool the system for now having two 770's in sli and a 9390k --using a noctua NH-D14-- and, maybe, eventually upgrade to a liquid system. For that, it seems that the switch 810 would be best for that.

Thoughts, opinions, fanboy/girl rants?

I have a Raven rv02 and I LOVE it. Dead silent, and fantastic thermals. I am running 2 680's with a slight overclock and an i5 2500k@4.4 (Scythe Mugen sink) and I never have any heat issues at all. I cant remember the exact temps right now (at work), but I have done extensive stress testing and never have any problems.

Edit: I keep my home's ambient temp at 24C.
