Yeah, good. Cooling can be improved. Used to be an old favourite on the forums. Very ubiquitous, upgradable, well built and easy to find info.

Other options are the Zalman Z9+, Z11, Bitfenix Shinobi's, Corsair 200R / 300R.

Should fit the HR-02 fine.

Id go for the 300r.

Case is good I have one and have no complaints. Just dont attach the bottom HD cage if you don't need to as it causes airflow problems.

Kidge · 30 Nov 2012 at 19:55

Cool, personally i prefer the look of the 690 so I think I'll go for that

and as Papalazaru said take the bottom cage out.

hows it for water cooling in for future referece?
