The Cosmos SE Experience

From here on things will be a little different from your ‘run of the mill’ article. Whilst at present there are countless reviews on this case already there seems to be lacking an article written with the water cooling enthusiast in mind.  Here at Overclockers Tech we will attempt to address this issue by assembling a loop or two within the case as then one can correctly inform the reader on any advantages or issues encountered within the build.

However here in this build, we have had to assemble the system with only the products we have in hand and available as our budget was limited. Having said this the Power supply and Motherboard used were kindly donated by Coolermaster and BIOSTAR.

PSU= CoolerMaster V1000

Motherboard= Biostar Z87-HIFI-3D

Essentially the theme of this build was designed around the pre-existing scheme of the Cooler Master chassis and that of the motherboard colour palette.

 Day one

Side panel is removed by the usual two thumbscrews and straight away we head towards the internal 3.5 inch bays.

Once all the caddies are out (including the ones that are almost at the floor of the case we turn our attention to the screws on the panels. Each of the latter have four of the former holding in each panel, with these being three per side.

There are more mounting panels for when the drives are in a regular orientation, along with the bundled two blue LED fans.

The last two images above show the removal of the dedicated 2.5 inch drive caddy, of which can be removed by taking out the four screws at the bottom of the case.

The images below show show the amount of panels that must be removed in order to fit a 360mm radiator

All in all a easy removal of all the extra panels that must be removed to fit a variety of radiators. That is it for day one, day two will explore what type(s) of radiator that can be used within the front section of the case.
