DeepCool has launched the CH690 Digital cases, with a volume of nearly 60 liters. With this capacity, they were designed to handle various setups using the largest components available. In addition to truly long graphics cards \u2013 with practically no limits \u2013 they also support oversized liquid cooling radiators from the top, bottom, or side. And all of this comes with a focus on looks, defined by two tempered glass panels.<\/p>\n

With the CH690 Digital, DeepCool has modernized the concept of cases designed for exceptionally quiet cooling of the most powerful components available today. All this comes with a striking appearance \u2013 but more on that later. First, let\u2019s take a look at what the CH690 Digital cases, measuring 418 \u00d7 240 \u00d7 516 mm, actually support.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, the cases support large coolers for both the CPU and the GPU. When it comes to liquid cooling, radiators can be mounted in four positions, including top (up to 420 mm), bottom (360 mm), and side (up to 280 mm). The front panel is tempered glass, providing a better view of the internal components. If you\u2019re not building with liquid cooling and prefer tower-style air coolers with heatpipes, the case is wide enough to support coolers up to 182 mm tall. Current cooler models don\u2019t even reach that height, so you\u2019ll have some headroom \u2013 either for future, taller coolers or simply for easier handling with no tight squeezes.<\/p>\n

And if you opt for a tower cooler, meaning you\u2019re not going with any form of liquid cooling, there are up to ten expansion fan positions available. Note: the case does not come with any fans included (you\u2019ll need to purchase those separately), but it supports ten 140 mm or the same number of 120 mm fans. There are three positions at the top, bottom, and side each, with one additional spot traditionally at the rear panel, above the PCI Express slots. Speaking of which, there are eight PCIe slots.<\/p>\n

Motherboards are supported up to ATX form factor. This means mounting holes are provided not only for standard 305 \u00d7 244 mm ATX boards but also for smaller Micro ATX and Mini-ITX boards.<\/p>\n

The CH690 Digital features tempered glass on two sides \u2013 traditionally on the left side and also at the front. These are typical locations for intake fans, but DeepCool took a different approach. To maintain a clear view of the interior, the front panel is glass, and any optional intake fans are mounted behind it, from the right. On the left side, there is also an I\/O panel that includes three USB ports (2\u00d7 Type-A + 1\u00d7 Type-C), a 3.5 mm combo audio jack, and a power button.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next to the I\/O panel is a segmented digital display, which shows real-time system stats (temperature, power consumption, load, or clock speeds) for the CPU and GPU. That\u2019s what gives the CH690 its \u201cDigital\u201d name. This display is expected to communicate with the motherboard via a 9-pin USB (2.0) header, which often goes unused for its original purpose (connecting USB 2.0 front panel ports), since most cases \u2013 including this one \u2013 prefer faster 19-pin connections (for dual 5 Gbps USB ports) or internal USB-C connectors.<\/p>\n

The CH690 Digital case also accommodates a 3.5″ HDD (in a single drive tray) and up to two 2.5″ storage drives. It supports ATX power supplies up to 180 mm in length. Also worth noting is the spacious cable management area behind the motherboard tray, offering up to 36.5 mm of clearance.<\/p>\n

DeepCool\u2019s suggested retail price for the black CH690 Digital (base model)<\/a> is 100 EUR, while the white version labeled \u201cWH\u201d (CH690 Digital WH)<\/a> is set at 110 EUR. Both models are expected to become available in stores starting May 13, 2025.<\/p>\n
