Re: Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower Case Review

I would say the door vent covers about half of the 3rd GT by the PSU. I actually have the GT's running as intake, and plan to use the 2x120 (putting GT's there too) on the other side to exhaust. That being said, even with the door closed, I can feel a good amount of airflow coming through the radiat...

Re: Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower Case Review

There was 1cm at the front of the case when using the supplied radiator brackets. I rigged up my own mounting method though, so now things fit better. Even doing a 360 up top will mean the 1st bay is useless, unless you have something that's only half-length. A DVD drive for example won't fit. A fan...

Re: Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower Case Review

I picked it up today, and as expected the SR-1 doesn't fit up top. Basically hangs over the top row of motherboard screws, so anything past that edge hits the radiator. That meant my RAM was impossible to ever get to, and the CPU power connector didn't fit. Luckily though, it looks like I'll be able...

Re: Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower Case Review

Haha, I have that reservoir already! Sounds like we have very similar goals/ideas.

I've definitely considered the Aquero 5, but the price tag always scares me off and that most of the instructions/website is in German and the English translations aren't that stellar.

Re: Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower Case Review

No problem. If you look at Skinnee Labs you can see that there is not a huge delta between 360mm rads and one of the best bang for the buck rads it the Swiftech MCR-360 (I own one myself in addition to a XSPC RX360). You could e-bay that SR-1, get a MCR-320 and have decent performance with only sli...

Re: Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower Case Review

I broke out my more accurate calipers and the space between the edge of the mobo and the metal top plate is exactly 45mm but the holes are offset enough that you could probably hang down another 5mm or so depending on what components are edge mounted on your mobo. For instance on the board I instal...

Re: Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower Case Review

Great review! One request though, any chance you could measure the top space for the radiator a bit more precisely? I'd like to know if I'd be able to get my HWLabs SR1-360 (listed at 54mm thick) to fit up top. I know you estimate about 50mm, but obviously that's not quite enough space, unless of co...
