Cm 690 II Plus Airflow Tips.

[wAnxTa]

Hello people,
I just got myself a cm 690 II chassis and wanted some help on fan placements. I currently have 2 120mm fans (intake) on my side panel, 1 120mm rear fan (exhaust), 1 120mm fan on the top (exhaust), 1 120mm fan in the front (intake), 1 120mm fan at the bottom (intake). So any better plans for fan placements ?





Also if anyone knows how to remove the top panel in this chassis please do tell. I just cant figure it out.

Thank you.

This is what I have in my 690:



Back + top = exhaust (since hot air rises)
Front + bottom = intake (to draw cold air in)

That's exactly how I have placed fans in my CM690 as well

Is there a reason for you guys not using the side panel ?

^not sure, but a member here SHAJEEL said that puting a side fan actually disrupts the airflow and if he removes the side fan, his temps improve dont know if its true but give it a go. Btw I have same thing in my HAF, front 200mm and bottom 120mm intake and top 200mm and back 120mm exhaust. Thats basically how you install the fans regardless of which (branded) case you have since hot air moves upwards.

I have a window on the side panel hence cant put a fan there. Im not sure if adding a fan there would really lower the temps or just add to the turbulence inside the casing.
