Hi guys,

I am back on tomshardware for your help!! :)

I own a Cooler Master 690 III Mid tower Case...

I have AMD-FX8350 with Asus R9 280X running on Asus m5a97 R2.0 Mobo.


I have few questions regarding this setup:

1) Is it okay if my CPU reaches 65 C at 100% load?
2) I am looking to use a AIO Liquid Cooler to chill the beasts... LOL :D
Corsair H100i will fit perfectly but I am thinking of NXZT X60

Can anyone confirm if X60 fits in my case ??


Thanks in advance!!

I think that's a bit high,did you already reattach the cpu cooler with new paste?



If you would have looked at the cooler master site you would have seen that it only supports 240mm radiators,the X60 is a 280mm radiator so i say no.

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your info.

Could you please let me know the maximum clearance supported by is case?

Basically I want to install the rad (Any 240mm) at front so I can exhaust at top.

Thanks!!

Arctic mx-4 or mx-2 are nice choices.I think a little more expensive the noctua NT-H1.
Just don't use to much,a really thin layer is already enough.
