Duda; Choose between CM 690 II Lite or NOX Hummer

[CNCBCN]

Nemo when I say that I like the CM distribution better but only with 2 HDDs it's because of that (that you can mount more disks is something I already know, up to 6) it's also true that the cable management in the Nox is much better than in the CM but it doesn't have much more (personal opinion) it's also true that the back of the CM is more waterproof. both have their pros and cons (and the one who has to like it is elsaq) but I still vote for the CM

Thanks for the replies!

I think I'll go for the CM 690 II, probably the Lite version, I haven't seen what the big difference is with the Advanced for it to cost about 20-30€ more to be honest.

Currently I have a NOX with window, pretty basic, one front fan, one side and one rear, I think the change will be noticeable, especially for what I want, a case that allows me a lot of OC by air in the future pc, and the CM seems to be able to fulfill.

Thanks! Regards!

the cm 690 lite is a very good option, I'm sure you won't be disappointed with that case

I think you choose well. In the end I opted for the NOX, because of the versatility of its fans and the controllers it incorporates. But it turned out to have some drawbacks;

-The rehobus does not allow you to stop the fans. True that not all do, but it is a characteristic for me very important that I overlooked.

-The 23cm fan it incorporates in the front seems noisy even at low rpm's, silence is no longer what you expect.

-The 22 and 23cm fans have disappeared from the market, so the holes become useless.

-The finishes are not robust enough for such a large case, sometimes it vibrates in a very annoying way.

The advantages;

-Spacious to the max.

-Cable management; you hide everything behind the motherboard.

-Fans everywhere, 12,14, 20, 22 and 23cm.

In the end I miss the quality of CoolerMaster.

Your response was very helpful, I appreciate it

I almost decided on the 690, I say almost in case there's a case with similar ventilation, same quality but a slightly more eye-catching design (design is the last thing I look at, I prefer performance, but I don't want it to look bad just in case hehe)

Thanks! Regards!

hala, problem solved Case Cooler Master DOMINATOR CM690 II Advanced - White

[Chemacaso_1964]

As you can see in the signature I have the CM 690 advanced, the difference is the dock station for 3.5" SATA drives, from the top, you can connect and disconnect SATA drives, hot, (well only one let's go), for me the finishes are very good, solid, very heavy, empty it seemed to have the pc mounted, cons that I found is that the rear window for the CPU, theoretically to be able to mount and unmount the heatsink mounts, is small, in the end you have to disassemble the motherboard, otherwise for me it is a good and elegant box :risitas:

!AMD Power!

Looking at blank has its point lol even though I'll go for black and I'll put green lighting on it, in the Nvidia style xD (I've spent my whole life with Ati, now that I'm switching to Nvidia let's make it noticeable xD)

I'll tell you when I start saving money for the computer I want to build, I'm waiting for the LGA 2011 to come out to see how much they cost and the price drop of the 1155, but that's another story for other posts, I'll ask you when I'm going to build my new machine, for now I'll only buy the case xD

Thanks! Regards!

well man, the purchase is a HAF X nVidia Edition - Cooler Master

That is not suitable for removing the heatsink mounts. It is a hole for an 80x15mm fan

@CoUgSt:

That doesn't serve to remove the anchors of the heatsinks. It's a hole for an 80x15mm fan

Well now that you mention it ;D
