Just got this today. Pics here: http://imgur.com/OoH0Y,T459R,u2Utk#0

oh damn, another 690 owner added to the club!!

Yup

Was thinking about taking the heat-sink off (if it is possible) and applying some Prolimatech PK-3 thermal paste to it. Should I even bother...?

You certainly could and also clean the fins and fans.

Only warning I have though is... GPU heatsinks are a BITCH to put back on, in comparison to a lot of other internal computer hardware work. So be prepared with time and patience on your side.

That thing is huge... case mods sold separately?

It fits fine in the HAF 912. If you had the extra hard drive bay installed you have to remove it. Attached is a handle so you don't have to touch the PCB at all. It is a 1k dollar card :P

I think you need a new chassis to go with that beast.

no, mine sit at 30c idle, and maybe get up to 75-80c full load

Pretty nice setup you got there. Is that a Galant Desk from Ikea, by the way?

Awesome! I just came back from Ikea. They had the wooden brown version and the glass version only available, so I went with the wooden one. The moment I saw it on your picture I was amazed by the height and space it had, so I immediately went there to check it out. Also picked up a chair called Markus and the assembling was easy for both. Happy day!

Looks so much better with the additions! I got a question though. Is that fan controller good? I mean, does it live up to your expectations of it and how is functionality of it? I'm considering buying one, but can't really make my mind up :P

[Drunkenvalley]

I got a second mouse recently, mostly intended for my laptop. I decided to make use of it for a lil' bit. See how it goes.

Deleted copy-paste spam, and someone didn't edit out that comment to now make it look out of context. I'd rather just you'd leave it.

Yeah the fan controller is amazeballs! but it's around $60-$70 I think, I was lucky I got it as a bday present

Pros:
- 30w per channel which makes have multiple fans on a single channel functional - I have the push/pull on the H100 split over 2 channels cause Bitfenix fans dont seem to like the built in Corsair controller on the H100 itself. Plus my 2 side fans share a channel.
- It looks neat cause it doesn't have dials
- You can turn the display off if you want
- Plus all the other pros that they usually mention on the box - Auto control, Individual temp monitors for each fan, sleeved cables etc

Cons
- The fan speed % slider is very touchy so its sometimes hard to get the exact speed you want, but its certainly not a deal breaker
- The cost

I know Bitfenix has a touch screen FC as well, but the thing that turned me off buying that, was that it was only 10w per channel and didn't sound too good at supporting multiple fans per channel. It is much cheaper tho, I think around $30

[Shakatoss]

Wow, thanks alot for that descriptive answer, Frelaziram! I really appreciate it
It sounds like a really great fan controller! I'm definitely considering buying it even more now! Just still gotta decide whether or not it actually is necessary for my build. To be honest I don't think the price is that expensive. I mean, taking into account, it has a lot to offer and comes with a lot of functions and rather neat look and interface judging from the review i have watched.

Thanks again!

Sorry I also forgot to mention that the faceplate is slightly recessed and doesnt sit flush with the rest of the front of the case. This annoyed me at first, but it has now grown on me and I like it.
