Yes, it will fit. Mine fits easy in my Antec 1200, which is 8.40 inches wide. The CM 690 is 8.39 inches wide, so plenty of room.

You will want it install vertical when you case is upright. This is the direction of your airflow, so it is the best way to install. It won't block RAM slots that way either. :)

Yes, the fan blowing toward the back of the case to push air through the heat sink.
