New Cosmos S install (More Pics + More Detail)

[Frostbyte]

I was wondering this fit as well. I just got a Cosmos S and a MCR320 and it fits - I dont have pics yet but I will - also SSwilson I think at Hardware Canucks got a Swifty rad in the top just fine without a problem - apparently coolermaster did a small adjustment to allow the Swifty to fit after initial release - so it actually is only the PA that wont fit due to its unique fan spacing

I can second that about the MCR320 fitting in the case. I had a PA 120.3 I was going to put in, saw the posts saying it would not fit, and wound up ordering a MCR320. (Boy, was I ever chagrined to see I pulled a brainfreeze and ordered the only other rad on the list! lol) But after it came in, just for grins I held it up and looked at the spacing and it seemed pretty darn close. Sure enough, it fit like a glove.

Thanks for posting the extra pics on the build, btw. Much appreciated.

was going to get the cosmos -s this weekend but i seen it in person around here.im not grabbing it on the fact the radiater is suking up all the hot air inside the case and passing threw it...nice looking case tho.

this is why i built my watercooling area totally seperate from pc heat

I have put my fans as push, not pull, for that exact reason. Cold air through the top. Going to swap soon, and see if it makes much difference.

I'll be the third person to mention that the MCR320 does fit in the Cosmos S. I don't have the case but I did a test fitting.

What kind of scews did you use to mount the radiator? The ones that came with my Black Ice GTX seem to be too short...

wow, somebody else has done a cosmos s watercooling system. BTW the thermochills fit but I think the problem is just the gap between screws. I have fitted 5x120mm rad units HWL GTX360 rev2 in my cosmos s. I had to get a little physical with a 120 rad but if I had thought it through I think i would have got away with just drilling holes.

I like it... Even though I am about to join the MM Fan Boy Club, the Cosmos S, TJ-07, and LianLi V2000/2110/PC-343B are fu****g sweeeeeet.....
BTW what is that little handheld unit on top of your case? Looks like some sort of handheld gaming unit?

Maybe I can integrate one of my many modded PSP's into my upcoming build

Its just my PDA TyTN II


tried to oc it but no luck

I went down to my local bunnings and bought some that were same thread just longer. Then used my dremmel to cut to length. I will post some more pics soon, as I have done a couple of more mods!

Hi all again. Just thought I would post some more pics. I have now removed the mesh layer in between the fans and rad, as it was generating a bit of noise. I have also added a thin layer of foam around fans and rad to make sure there is nowhere for air to escape. I have also put the fans the other way around. I have noticed a temp drop and now idling at 28c.

I don't think blowing hot air into your case is a good idea just put them on pull instead. the heat inside your case should be minimal since its really only the motherboard components producing the heat in the case with good airflow the temp change will be minimal. Put them on pull and turn on your the huge fan on the side. I don't think your motherboard is very happy receiving hot air to cool the North/southbridge and mosfets.

Cue, look at his fans... it is pulling warm air from your case out thru the rad and out the top...

Oh I think s/he must have changed them, I read that s/he had his fans on push, pushing the hot air from the rad into the case. Nevermind.
