Cooler Master Cosmos 2 Club - Page 212

Depends if you want to show off your overkill 1500 Watt PSU or hide those ugly cables haha:D

Just buy the 250ml reservoir. The 150ml is too small and seams a bit strange on this huge case. Go for the 250ml.


Yes you can install a slim 360 rad on the top of the case with a push an pull configuration, but you might have attention to the upper cooler mosfet of the motherboar. If the motherboard has a high top mosfet cooler you can not install the 3 fans on the bottom of the radiator.


Look at my system, i also have that radiator, the black ice stealth 360 on the top of the case. But i only have 2 fans underneath the rad because the hight of the top mosfet cooler of the board.

Yeah!
of course. but if you're spending that much on a PSU, might as well get the one that's aesthetically pleasing for your case (i.e., larger components, since you have the space). LOL

Anybody mount an mATX board in their Cosmos II yet? Haha

Thanks for the insight. Will check your build. Much appreciated. +Rep to you!


Other than the windowed side panel, I wish the Cosmos II had a removable motherboard tray, so maintenace would've been easier. One more 5.25 bay wouldn't hurt, either. Lol

For that, you need a serious modding work.

In my opinion i don't change anything on this so expensive case :p

Expected much more for the price

Pros: Monster size; I'm lovin it.
Removable HDD Bays.
Bays will work with 2.5 SSD or 3.5 HDD with no modification.
Plenty fasteners included (standoffs, HDD screws, etc.)
Cable Management is very good however be prepared to purchase cable extensions depending on your PSU or motherboard.

Cons: Very disappointed in a few things considering the price of this beast.
Way too much Plastic. Cooler Master dropped the ball here.
No option for a windowed side panel. Come on, this is suppose to be a showpiece case.
I Have my 240 Dual radiator mounted where the extra HDD Bays were because there is no room (not even Close) at the top of the case. Once again, inexcusable for this particular
case. For most systems even a regular 240 won't fit if you want to use Push & Pull fans.
Something that really ticks me off; The only LED fans that work correctly with this fan controller aren't even available yet. I will definitely not purchase these fans after I paid so much for the case already.
Also, 200 MM Cooler Mater fans will not fit under the top cover

Other Thoughts: This really reminds me of the gaming industry. Sell a product that is not entirely finished then charge extra for the missing pieces and laugh all the way to the bank. I really was expecting more for my money.
This would have been a 5 star+ review if not for the irritating and inexcusable cons that i listed.

is that you RoadKing????? lol if so all i noticed was the part about the windowed side panel = (messa very happy)

Hey is the new fan controller really worth getting? Any one in Australia gotten theres replaced.

I just called CM about the melted ribbon cable on the new fan controller I received. They are overnighting a new one today. And for those who got the 'free gift' email, it is legit and they are reviewing them now.

As far as the debate over the thinner rad with push/pull vs the thicker rad with pull only. I tried both and have better results with the thicker rad (360mm x 45mm) with pull. ( use fans with static pressure of at least 2.0 mm H2O)
My 2 cents.



The bottom rad is also a 45mm with push /pull
