CoolerMaster Cosmos S
If you are having an epiphany or deja-vu trying to figure out where you noticed this design before, think again. CoolerMaster already has models that, well ... look exactly the same as this one; like the Coolermaster "Cosmos 1000", but you need to be aware there are some very distinct differences. This is the "Cosmos S" model. You take that previous model, change coloring schema, remove the front door and optimize airflow everywhere with the help of meshes and ventilators. Alright, so we already established that the "S" means Sporty. And though that's a little far-fetched, Coolermaster implemented some pretty nice tricks to get exceptionally good airflow into the design. From A to Z everything in this "S" model has been thought through well with airflow in mind.
Compared to the standard "Cosmos 1000" model there are numerous practical changes to be found. For the exterior the chassis is made out of aluminum with a lot of meshes going on, yet also has a different color design. On the inside we'll notice that drive cages have been removed to offer way more space for optical and HDD drives. The mainboard tray is placed in such a way that cables routing can be managed behind the actual tray. Also the chassis has been prepared for water-cooling (we'll show you in the photo-shoot). Next to that a touch-power button. Directly accessible you'll spot that the Cosmos S has seven usable 5 ¼ external bays and four 3 ½ internal bays, measuring 10.5 x 23.5 x 24.7 (26.6 x 59.8 x 62.8 cm). Each frontside bay slide uses a meshed cover, working as an air intake. Besides the traditional rear and front fans, it comes with a total of three fans located at the top, rear, HDD front and then a massive 200mm side-panel fan. The case can handle in total of nice fans; it probably would have been better to call this S model "Storm" as everywhere inside the chassis there is airflow.
While words can't really describe how well that's implemented; the four fans are low noise. The biggest (literally) fan is actually located in the side-panel of the chassis and has a dimension of 20x23xCM! And it's spinning at a conservative 900 RPM. Great stuff to get airflow going over your graphics card(s). In fact, NVIDIA seriously loves branding (read: pimping) the label; the chassis is SLI certified.
And the gorgeous design ... well, that's just pure love. Let's startup the photo-shoot, as it makes explaining everything much easier.
So honestly; I barely finished the introduction and already have a thing for it. As with women; there's more than the outside though, can the Cosmos S continue to impress? Next page please ...
Cooler Master just released within the CM STORM line of products the Sentinel ZERO-G, an updated version of the last generation product, that TBH I still use. The Sentinel ZERO-G offers everything its older brother already has, but is tweaked, optimized and comes with a few surprises. We again spot the cute little OLED screen, adjustable weight system, superduper link braided 2M chord, and upgrade to 128kb of memory and yeah, it is just a really nice upgrade to what was previously launched.
CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 review
We test the new CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 CPU cooler. Though the cooler will not be high-end performance wise, it can still manage the latest Core 2 Duo and Quad processors really well, and sure, overclocked as well. This new TX3 also supports the upcoming Core i5 processors from Intel based on Socket LGA 1156. Typically this would not be a massively interesting release of course, however... with a sales price of only 14.95 EUR/USD let's face it... the dynamic certainly changes for the better.
CoolerMaster Aquagate MAX review CPU liquid cooling
A test on the CoolerMaster Aquagate MAX. This system is designed to be used inside your computer case for a completely self-contained system. If you are looking for a liquid cooling system to use for your performance computer the Cooler Master Aquagate Max may be just what you need. Dual 1200mm radiator, excellent looking reservoir and 400 liter/h pump, nice thick tubing and a very glossy water-block. A very interesting fact is .. it's not very expensive.
CoolerMaster Cosmos S review
CoolerMaster today introduced a new PC case/chassis updated from their Cosmos line of products. This unit is based on a standard Cosmos 1000 with some attention-grabbing new modifications targeted at the high-end and enthusiast consumer with a diminutive amount of money to spare. It's huge, it's profound, it's impressive, it's striking and it's called the Cosmos S; with the S for Sport.
