wanna ask, if i wanna clean my fans, can i wash them with running water or dip them inside water? will it spoil the fan?

better not.might bring problems to ur bearing.

if u rly wanna clean ur fan,get wet cloth and wipe the blades will do

Fan has motor, wire and circle board, how can you waste it with running water?!

well, what i really meant was put the fan thru running water, then leave it to dry totally for a day or 2 maybe..then only put it back to work again.
of course i wouldn't be washing it and putting it back inside my case immediately

Congrats version 7 liao....

You can't do that for any electronic stuffs ... (even you have keep them dry for 2 days).

Can you wash your pc or notebook and keep it dry for 2 days, and expecting them still operating?

quote? i think it will become very very long

behold the power of HAF
meaning HAF took the crown already aa?
where is ATCS? Cosmos? 690?

anyone can guide me on how to remove the front grill of the cm690,i try to press the 6 clipper which hold the front grill on the case,but cant pull it out..i try to install my dvd driver..push the 5" slot out but it wont drop off..have no idea how to remove it

Just pull the front plastic.There is no screw so u can just pull it out.

yay finally v7! koki u no need to close the old v6?

it works actually, cause i tried it before..
ofcouse dont do that to those pc or notebook lor, only crazy people will do that..
but atleast for a fan i ady tested it..

actually u can wash it or dip in water also, just dun do it when power on and be sure absolutely dry before on it back....

btw yshiuan old timer reporting in, Stacker 830 Silver and HAF 932 user.....

HAF 932 is on top in terms of performance. and one more thing, i'm using it

2 days....maybe...maybe not....depending on how dry it gets in those 2 days...

BUT... my old PC was once caught in a flood and it was totally submerged in water...it was off at the time of flood....

i put out to dry with a table fan blowing right at it for 2 weeks straight....turned it on and worked perfectly...just needed to replace the CMOS battery.



as long as theres no current going though them at the time....u can actually wash electrical items with water...no worries....just as long as u make sure its COMPLETELY dry before turning it on...how long it takes to get completely dry differs depending on ur ambient and airflow etc etc etc etc etc....also depends on how long ur willing to wait..if u turn it on too soon and theres still some water sure la kaput.



but in terms of washing fans with water....also can...once completely dry...just remember to add a small drop of oil to lubricate the bearings..coz the washing might have washed out the original lubricant...

For fans, I suggest remove the back sticker, then pull out the pin..Then can separate the impeller from the frame. Then use wet cloth to wipe off the dust and whatnot..

BTW, my name is not in the CM690 list..♥♥♥

Whose name is not in list plz PM me. thx

definately wont turn on right after i wash it.
dun wanna risk kaput-ing my whole pc also.
well i've got no issues with waiting, 2 days or 2 weeks is fine with me.

ish.but better not put behold the power of HAF la,mcm like other casing bo value or useless le .should put behold the power of cm casing.so tht the other users wont feel so left out

but still not so recommended to do so la,unless ur fan is rly tht dirty till the stains are unremovable by wiping.sometimes even after u wait for 2 days or weeks,there MIGHT be some water droplets which are trapped inside the bearing motor if its not sealed tight enough and once u turn it on,heaven gate is rdy for ur fan



btw a bit of not so related pic but still gt some CM element in it
