The CM 690 II Advanced Case Thread

[WrigleyVillain]

Yeah the fan is weak, as is every CM fan I have ever gotten with a case. The size and the on/off switch for LED's are it's only redeeming factors.

Yes I have a MCR220 up top and cannot fit my optical drive in the top slot.

front blue led fan provides enough airflow, but it makes a noise so it needs undervolting
comparing with gtyphoon their noises are near the same, but gtyphoon provide twice more airflow
also i noticed that grill on the back side makes noise even with good fans, say one fan on rad has a noise much less than the same fan on the backside, due to those grill
but cutting this grill would hurt overall look of the case i guess

[hatakiller]

i have a question, did you guys removed the filter from the psu. i mean the bottom fan openings come with the filter istall but the psu filter doesnt come install, i left mine off cause i want the psu to run cooler as the filter restrict airflow alot, is this a wise thing to do?

[WrigleyVillain]

You're fine. Provided you aren't keeping it on the floor in a dusty room...

[Rapt0r]

mmm I will get a better 140mm fan just in case then thanks,btw can a 2x140mm rad with the thickness of swiftech fit on top?

yes radiator 2x140 itself fits on top but fans you may fit only one 140 fan over the roof, other should be always 120
so actually answer is no)

mmm thanks so its like using 2x120mm fans to cool 2x140mm rad,they should make it fit 2x140mm fans on top...oh well

[rioja]

what is it for?

Nice rig, Prava. What fan is it that you are using?

At the back NZXT FN 120 (crappy cheap white fan undervolted its not that bad imho). On top, pushing through the rad I'm using GT 1850rpm and then two Yates at the side (one as intake the other as exhaust).

Is that a Swiftech up top?

If so, I just checked out some numbers and the length on the MCR-220 is 284mm the Black Ice Xtreme 2 X-Flow is 292mm. That is only a 8mm difference and since it is such a minuscule amount it don't think it will get in the way.

Nope. Its a Black Ice GTS Lite.

Can a 2x140mm slim rad like swiftech fit on top? Or it can only support 2x120mm slim rad only. Is the intake 140mm led fan good enough,if its weak I would like to change it when I get mine.

Quite deffinitely...but you won't be able to use 140mm fans so there is no use for such combination...

what is it for?

Its a 3 pin fan connector from Noctua to lower the rpm of the fans a bit. I guess you can call it a fan controller.

[rioja]

do anyone notice that front led is not blue actually? itr's rather lilac
it's not good coz other my leds are real blue.

[iTravis]

Great work guys, anyway my update with a GTX 470, probably need to clean up the cable on the side a bit, still look kinda messy.

[NoGuru]

Humm, I'm considering this case.

[ugo1]

Hi


I'm considering this case but I need to install some SAS disk with this connector



So which is the distance between the hard disk and the hard disk connector side panel?

Regards

Ugo

[rioja]

this is (my) computing machine with two double radiators on board

[miptzi]

thats amazing!

[WrigleyVillain]

Looking good

[NoGuru]

Almost forgot, I was convinced to by this case.
WC loop coming next week.

I'm very interested in buying this case but am not sure about fitment. Will a Enermax revolution 1050 fit in the bottom along with a 240 rad? The Enermax is 7.4in long.

it won't fit
i wouldn't consider any psu with length more than standard 16cm

It does have a spot at the top for a 240 RAD.

[pb300]

I was looking to do a 240 in the top and bottom. Technically I could mount a 120 on the bottom and the back, but I'd rather not.

Would it be for the hardware in your sig? A single, quality 120.2 should do you well

[pb300]

Yes it is the hardware in my sig. I currently run a mcr220 for a cpu loop that is working fine, but I would like the extra capacity since I may be upgrading soon.
