Owners of watercooled Coolermaster CM 690 II Lite advice needed

fireisdangerous · 9 Nov 2011 at 10:32

Looking to purchase the white version of the Coolermaster CM 690 II Lite. I Have 2 240 rads that i will fit in which cool my cpu and gpu.

My question is where have people mounted their pump and res. I have a liang ddc pump and a 250 phoybia tube res. Just wanted to see if i can fit everything in.

Thanks in advance for any help, pics would be great also.

looks good, where is the pump and res? did you do the window yourself

Have you got a build log

Hi, thanks.

I've got some more photos if you want. Specs are: i7 930 @ 3.9ghz with xspc rasa block, 5870 with EK full cover, P6X58D-E mobo, Corsair TX 850 PSU, Crucial C300 128Gb SSD, 750GB Hitachi, MCP355 Pump, 2x XSPC 240RS Rads, (T-Line).

I've bought a white bay res which I'm going to install when this water's done 6 months. It's just to get the bubbles out as the T-Line is almost imposible (at least in this location).

The way I have it the pump sits on top of the PSU. So loop is:

T-Line - Pump - Top Rad - CPU block - GPU block - Bottom Rad - Pump (going past T-line junction).

The cooling performance of the case is very good. Overclocked to 4Ghz I max out at 67 degrees after 2 hours of prime in a 21 degrees room. That's with some bog standard akasa fans. (bottom rad has 3 top rad 2). I was thinking of adding gentle typhoons but I just don't see the point considering the temps.

Oh - and no I sent the pannel away to Chilled PC where a chap called Tom got it CNC cut for me. No need for trim as the cut was so good. Excellent quality would recommend.

Thanks for the info have, i also have a similar set up. rasa block on an i5 2005k @4.5, 1 240 xspc rad and 1 black ice 240 rad, 1 evga 570 with ek block and backplate. Laing ddc pump with black top, phobya 250 res (dont think i can fit it in this case though) 120gb ssd and some 1600mhz ram.

Oh and 4 gentle typhoons, i would defo recoemend them, not the best looking fans in the world but do a damn good job.

I had a case done bye the same people not too long ago, took ages and their communication isnt great but case looks fantastic.

Hi,

This is what I did with my CM 690.

I think the brackets for the pump and reservoir I used are made by pulse modding. The fans are yate loon fans, although not brilliant keeps my [email protected] and 6950 nice and cool.

Thanks for the pics,

Those fan brakckets could be very handy, i could then mount my res on top of the 240 rad at the bottom as its a 250 tube res, and then maybe the pump on top of the psu. would be a tight squeeze.
