Recently I read review about CM690 II Advanced. Most of them says that the CPU retaining hole isn’t large enough to accommodate common socket placement.
And other Cons also but the one stated....Hmm...I think its gonna be a big problem
Any comments about it?

Socket placement just once a while when u install a cpu cooler . Nothing big deal . Btw , take a look at HAf912 since both at the same price range . It is nice to hav 20cm big fan as intake

I'm using CM690II plus. So far no issues regarding socket placement. Like any other CM cases, just make sure the front panel works properly.

not to mention have the option to mount 2x120mm fans at the front as intake.

@Jayi: 20CM fan's wind very small de...No use though O.o And...HAF 912 doesn't seem so nice for me XD Its design make it so short XD
@Oyaji: Err...Whats the difference between CM690 II Advanced and Plus?
Which one better?

But but according to c/m webpage , the megaflow hav 110 CFM Air flow at 700 RPM. Will be very silent since low rpm yet still high air flow . Never own a haf yet but cm 690 pure . I dislike HAF and cm690 II series ' side panel

For me, I tried MegaFlow fans and I regret of this
Yea it was almost no sound coming out and the fin is big enough. But, the air come out is very very little lol.
So I prefer 120MM fans

LOL you cannot judge fan air by feeling.

For 200mm fan the air is not as concentrate as 120mm on your palm. That is why you feel lesser air. In technical, 200mm fan is better than 120mm in term of airflow and silent.

cm 690II advanced got X-dock where you can place your hardisk there and graphic card retention if you opt for heavy graphic cards.

cm690II plus have none of those but the interior is still black. not sure if it still on sale though.

to me HAF 912 is ok but I would prefer the non windowed version so that I can customize the side panel lol. the side panel window on the HAF 912 advanced is too ugly for my taste.

Now CM 690 II Advanced interior also gt black rite?

@Bonta-Kun: I don't know o~
Comparing the price: 1 Megaflow=RM60. That means I can buy two C/M Sickle Flow fan XD
They looks wild

yup black.

the socket hole not large enough。i also dont like it.

So the conclusion is the Socket placement problem only occur during installing large CPU cooler e.g.Hyper 212+. Can it go in at last?
So I need to install CPU cooler outside the case then only I put it rite?

my deepcool ice blade pro weighs 1kg. I reinstall it once since it needs cleaning. no need to take out the mobo & not really a problem with me. maybe because of different mounting for different CPU I guess.

just wondering, what's your budget for casing actually?

RM 2000+ Tight ><
If I want beautiful=down for performance....
Its a hard choice actually

no problem at all.. it can even fit v10 =D

its looks kinda stick to the top cause of my mainboard.. haiz..
