e6800xe

its actually got a 25mm shroud on it too
ive got a vf700 on it, and it fits by like 3mm or so LOL

theres no way i could get even a 20mm fan on the topmost side panel fan mount area. my ccf blocks anything from there

My Water Cooling Build Log

I figure I might as well join the club, and since I found the cable for my camera here is some poor quality photo proof:





The cabling is a nightmare, but give me a break, I just got it yesterday and I've been working on my e8400 OC, also the ribbon cable really doesn't help.

Its actually not, you just take out the molex connector pins and put them back in the right place. Total = 15sec of work. No soldering or similar stuff...

Exactly...
I dust mine like every week, sometimes every 2 weeks if im really lazy.


Kurosu and Nathris... Welcome

No, positive pressure means some of the air blowing in gets heated up and creates "dead spots", trapping heat inside the case. Also, there's a ridiculous amount of holes in a CM 690, so no matter what you do you'll get dust inside.

I'm a firm believer that negative pressure reduces temps, regardless of what silverstone/lian li says.

I think what they're shooting for is that u need less fans to keep your PC moderately cooled. If the case is hermetically sealed theres only the given amount of fan holes that air can go through. The point of Silverstone's case is to direct airflow the way you want (and not to keep dust outside ),and not having cooler temps as they state...

But we all know lying is a viable form of marketing .... or should i say witholding the whole truth. How convenient that companies only tell us whats good with their products and not good and bad... Lol

i have managed to fit my water cooling setup inside of my 690 but i suffered a leak while filling my reservoir and got on my video card and in my PCI slot. I am letting them dry overnight and hopefully it will work tomorrow but i must say it will not look pretty because i dont care about the cable management anymore.

Sorry to hear mate, why didnt you leak test it outside the rig? And i hope your PC was off while filling the reservoir?!

Hope everything works OK

P.S. If u used distilled water, everything should be fine...
