Welcome to OCN!

That video was pretty sweet! Is that an LED lighting mod you have on your RAM or is that some awesome blue-LED RAM from Italy??

What questions do you have about watercooling this system?

Also, you should fill in your system specs in the 'User CP' section (under Add/Edit System - on the left)

Hi, thanks' for welcome

I write all about my CM 690 if you want:

I bought a Cooler Master 690, I hoped to be able to pump heaters etc enter inside, but I discovered that it is impossible when you have a MB (Motherboard) great (for the inclusion of a beautiful doublefan radiator) and especially when you have 3 HD (Hard Disk) is impossible to place a pump such as Swiftech where they are prepared.
In my opinion, the CM 690 has great potential but it is aesthetically ugly. I threw in June 'some ideas and I immediately put to work.

The first thing to do was window, perhaps on the style of the windows available in the shop of the Dutch master cooler, but deprive the fan higher (in my opinion the only not to touch) so I reversed and I have sacrificed the fan to lower the window .
Armed with drill-Tunnel and then a great deal of work with files:

Step 1:
Cutting through a drill hole and continuing with the cut with a tunnel:


and you cut the piece:

Step 2:
Filings to clear the inaccuracies (made with a large kit of lime and with the teams to do it as the most 'precise was possible):

Step 3:
Creation of the forum for fan by 120mm and drilling of plexiglass (30x30x3) using a drill column:


Step 4:
Problem, if I want to put a 120mm fan from the edge urterebbe with plexiglass so we must shape the joint-measure (using files):

Step 5:
I bought chrome letters in a shop for tuning the car and I decided to apply to the case:

The thing I am still not convinced, I found a great tuning shop for cars and I bought the small chrome flame for not doing anything too glaring and I applied to the case:

As you can see from the picture I did not limited to apply the flame, I also bought the spiral "Chrome". I membrane coated black and then I discovered all the wires, and then I applied to the spiral chrome all cables clearly visible obtaining the effect that you can see in photos.
For those who notice something strange in the fan side, this is a Thermaltake Cyclo 12cm Logo Fan A2460 runs shows that while temperature and number of laps fan.
At the same tuning shop for cars I bought a button of the D-Top Gear-style gun that will come into operation as soon will I receive my laser red LEDs. The button will turn on and off.
Last purchase fact, wasting ram for the thermaltake led by (of course not the less crucial Ballistix but ...) are not wrong to see (photo):


I arrived a few comonents:

And now here I am at work pluggure two lasers in series, and then put up the switch:
Problem 1 ... one of the laser must be more 'so long ... we move immediately to the wire unsolder previous ... and insert the new one:


then make an adapter that also gives current at the 'interrupt ... and then get this:

Then:



and...for use my water component i want to use this waterstation created by Clarkseth:

Default Waterstation for my CM 690

Hello to all, after the change of Chassis Cooler Master CM 690 hours we spend to correct the problem, how can cool a liquid?
Well you can not, we must buy a waterstation if you want to mount a serious liquid cooling, without incasinare the case (especially my own that is already caos)
The plant has fluid in question is:
* CPU waterblock: Ybris ® A.C.S. BLACK PEARL Black Gold Bracket
* VGA waterblock: Lunas
* Radiators: Radiator Aircube X2 120
* Radiator Aircube X2 240
* Pump Swiftech MCP655 12 VDC Pump

Photos of all:


To build waterstation Avro 'need the following sheets of plexiglass (measures in millimeters).

* "4" windows 500x240x5 (lxhxs)
* "2" windows 230x240x5 (lxhxs)

While strengthening the structure, it will take some aluminum profiles to L and L in a round-faced (I bought them I gray and then I painted in black only because 'I have not found them already elettroplaccati blacks, but for those who want, OBI sells them already elettroplaccati blacks)

But preparing the draft, I used Google SketchUp, that's what it came out:


And here's ventilation:


Here is a photo of the first materials:



Step 1:
Tracking holes to be done on plexiglass and all the other special features, according to the project.

At work here is finished all the sheets drawn:

Step 2:
Now cut the aluminum profiles tailored to the slabs of plexiglass:

For precision work, I used a tunnel.

(sorry picture background)

Step 6:
Cut the front, to allow the insertion of the regulator fans (I will be able to tailor to fit well):

A finished job looks like:

I entered the still behind in Plexiglas to prevent out (but the cut was done so well that when you shoot threads inside):

Step 7:
Svasatura holes in the structure of aluminum (so that the heads of the screws M3x10 head svasata, disappear:

Step 8:
Passage of primer on all pieces of aluminum. After 12 hours I began painting using a shiny black, here's a photo of the painted:


A finished here if the waterstation:


Now I am awaiting only the fans, LEDs and laser grids to mount everything.
The food problem will solve everything but creating a "shoe" of Molex which will be fed directly it from the PC, I have also already prepared:


I have only pluggure Molex different now, although I'm still thinking about how pluggurli without any voltage drops:

For now I have arrived at this point, will publish 'updates in the coming days.
