This is my case, just painted inside black, but might redo it if i get unlazy and i just cut the window to my liking and stuck it on in the back and tried my first attempt at cable management. I cut window too big, but at least the cut is nice.

Yea Iandroo I know I used some big Rubber on my window. but I sort of like how big it is. I like that look.

So, I have some questions for everyone. I have the CM690. (Obviously) and I was wondering other then Water cooling, what could I do to get better temps. Mainly for some good temps in the case that would in turn get lower temps on my CPU.

I have the stock fan on front. Never cut the grill out though. Does that even help?
I have a 120x38 fan on the bottom as an intake. I have two 120mm Antec Tri Cooler fans on the Top for Exhaust. Both set for Medium. I have a Silverstone FM121 High CFM 120mm fan for the Rear Exhaust also. And then the fan in my Tuniq Tower.

My temps are just not as great as I'd like them to be. Does anyone have some good suggestions for me? I was also planning on maybe adding a fan under my DVD Drive and above my HD's. If anyone has added a Fan in there so they have 2 intake fans. could I see a picture possibly and could you tell me how you did it, whats the best way to attach a fan to the DVD drive area.

Any other Idea's to help with cooling would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Mine is still in the mail.... but,

Raise the speed of your fans.... Cutting the grill out does help (assuming the grill is close to flush with fan, if there is about an inch between the fan and the grill, cutting the grill out wont do much). Add that second fan you were talking about.... raise the case up like 2 inches off the ground, and putt some bottom intakes in.

Anything that is 4.0 ghz will only get so cold.

I'm pretty sure the PA 120 is skinnier then my Black Ice. And I could have fit that in the top (internally) but running the tubing was gonna be a Bigpita.

So that's how the pros do it. That's simply amazing. Wish I did that with my old case.

Wanted to let you guys know that I have a CM 690 Side Panel w/ window in the Freebies section.
