Review: Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced Part I

[thestepster]

could u place the pump at the bottom of the 5.25" bays? if an optical drive and the res doesnt get in the way?

 

[Msm2]

I was just looking at that,use the top 5.25" for DVD drive then the other 3 bays use for pump and res.

 

[thestepster]

i thot that sounded like a plan, kinda pump you going to use?

 

[daniSAUR]

Sounds good, can't wait to see this worklog.

 

[Msm2]

Not sure really atm.

 

[Msm2]

Will be two work logs,one for the swap over and then the WC log.

 

[thestepster]

uve got some work ahead of u mate, id prob do a build log of the folding rig but i lack a decent camera so it would be totally pointless

 

[Msm2]

Hope to take a few pics later of both the CM 690 and the Advanced side by side. Mini pic comparison

 

[thestepster]

would be cool to see the differences

 

[Msm2]

Got the folding rig to do as well,thats going in the old CM 690.

 

[thestepster]

thats some amount of work uve set yourself, im terrible like that 2 systems to build i do it in 1 day and just get annoyed by the end of it lol

 

[Msm2]

In total I have 4 projects that I like to finish this year. MSM2 and MSM2 Folder are simple ones to do,then there is OC3D Mini and a pc for my sister when she has the money for it.

 

[thestepster]

[Msm2]

A photo comparison of the CM 690 and the CM 690 II

 

[thestepster]

wow there is really a lot of great improvements on that new one, great cable management and the bottom of the 2 panel fan thats been moved along a tad i think looks like its brrn made like that to put cold air directly at the gpu nice touch
