Hey all.

Anyone managed to do watercooling with a CM Stacker 690? I need some inspiration

Thanks,

JM

Could you fit a 120.2 in the top 120mm fan vents? That would be easy and you wouldn't have to do any/much cutting.

I've heard mixed responses to that setup...

I also thought exactly the same but a lot of people say that you need to do a fair amount of modding because of space restrictions. Guess I'll have to just get a pretty slim rad and see what I can do with it.

You could mount the Rad top side as suggested, but yes you might need to mod the case a bit.

Yo ucould always use a Rad box form Swiftech and mouth the radiator to the back. There are cutouts in back of the case already for tubing thats going external.

The CM690 has pre-drilled holes for feeding 2 tubes out the back of the case.
