690 ii with an rx rad, or the 500r

[andrey64]

Im making my first loop as soon as i decide on whether to purchase the coolermaster 690 ii advanced or the corsair 500r. Im still debating on if i want to go with a full tower though not sure.

does anyone have experience putting a nice loop with an RX rad(not the thinner rs) into eitehr of the cases? If yes please post some pics or give me some insight on what im jumping into.

You may also want to consider the EX rads, which perform like the RX rads but are thin like the RS series.

mmmm, that does look tasty indeed, having the Ex rad go flush under that vented cover of the 500R...

the xspc rx 240 rads need lower speed fans and run amazingly well. i actually ordered the 690 II advanced. It was cheaper so ill save the extra into better parts in the future.

Coolermaster make quality for all levels, I have a 690 II advanced and it is more than copious in features for a very cheap price.

i have owned thermaltake element g case, storm scout, 650D , 600T and non have even compared to this 690 II. The 650D quality was amazing but the price for modding and performance is much better on the 690 II.
