About this deal

All in all this case is absolutely amazing. I thought my haf x case was big, being an e atx case. But this case is definitely a few inches taller and longer. It's great because it gives you a ton of room for watercooling or even air cooling if you're into that lmao. You could honestly mount another radiator where I have my reservoir in the pics and then just mount the reservoir on any of the radiators. So you can fit another 240mm radiator if you wanted, or maybe even a 360mm. Credo non si possa chiedere di più, il mio sistema è sempre fresco e molto ben arieggiato. Vi posso dire che tra ventole messe al minimo oppure alla massima rotazione cambia poco e niente in termini di temperature, questo significa aver fatto un gran lavoro sui flussi d'aria. Firestrike Extreme stress testing raised GPU dT slightly higher than the torture test, to 50.3C dT. That’s great compared to the other cases on the chart, equalling the excellent Silverstone RV02 in performance. The C700M repeatedly does well for GPU temperature. Blender The two header cables for the USB 3.0 ports also don't come with adapters in the box, so you will need to have two USB 3.0 20-pin headers to connect all the ports to your system. Be warned, many motherboards have just one. The kinds of boards that do have two such headers tend to be high-end models, which, assuming you're shelling out for this chassis, I suspect you have one of, too.

As for performance: either use the fancy front panel shell or the internal filter. Don’t use both. There’s no point to having two layers of filtration, and one or the other will do just fine. With that in mind, cooling performance with air-cooled GPUs is great, while air-cooled CPUs may get warm sitting in the middle of the vast space between the intake and exhaust fans. Many buyers of this case will probably also invest in liquid cooling, and there’s plenty of space for radiators in the top and front of the case. For pure all-around performance, we’ve recommended much cheaper cases like the Silverstone PM01 in the past. The C700M is great in terms of build quality and looks for those that can afford it, but don’t make the mistake of thinking that buying a more expensive case means more effective cooling. First, this computer case is essentially a display case. It’s a case designed for enthusiasts with money and as such it is assumed the buyer has enough spare cash to invest in a complete water cooling solution. The case has just enough (barely) airflow to help remove the ambient heat generated from the components that are not water cooled. Cooler Master went the extra mile with all of these air pathways, adding dust filters to help keep the inside of your case from silting up. Mounting the PSU can be a little dicey with the left panel door hanging in the way, but you'll do it just once. Any power supply will fit down here, even the deepest 1,200- and 1,500-watt monsters.The front of the case is also on a hinge, but it opens only about 6 inches at its widest point, tipping downward . There's little underneath this panel. The front panel behind the door is mostly a metal mesh, but with two positions at the top of the case for optical drives. This is a somewhat strange configuration, as there's only one spot inside for actually mounting an optical drive...

Undeterred? The Cosmos has plenty going for it, mind you: You'll probably never run out of storage bays or room to expand a liquid cooling scheme, and the vertical card-mounting options are without peer. But I'd also love to see the latter in a case half its size. The case I/O has a lot of cables and wires. Unfortunately, these wires come in a jumbled mess. To untangle these wires for better management, you’ll need to unplug the wires from the rgb/fan controller. It might look intimidating at first, but it’s really not that complicated. The right side of the case has plenty of room to hide cables so it’s possible to implement a clean wire scheme, but thanks to I/O wire mess expect it to take a lot of work. We no longer have the C700P on hand to make side-by-side comparisons (because of limited storage space), but we can start off with a few obvious visible differences. First is the front panel, which we had criticized in the original C700P. In the older model, there was a thin plastic shell that almost completely covered a nice mesh front for no good reason. The shell could be hinged outwards to access an optical drive or the front filter, but leaving it open or taking it off permanently would look weird. The situation is similar here, but the plastic shell is narrower and has strips of ventilation on either side. More importantly, it can be completely taken off and still look natural, albeit with fewer LEDs. This and the Dark Base Pro 900 may be the only cases we’ve reviewed where removing (part of) the front panel is something the user might actually do, rather than something we test just to prove a point. Cooler Master Cosmos C700M Build Quality, Cable Management, & Lights Load testing is conducted using Prime95 LFFTs and Kombustor “FurMark” stress testing simultaneously. Testing is completely automated using in-house scripting, and executes with perfect accuracy on every run.

As for the cooling options, the modular aspect of this case lets you do almost anything. Two sets of rails let you install one or two cooling radiators up to 420mm long in the top or front positions (the longest radiators requiring you to remove the optical drive bay), and you can also mount a radiator in the rear exhaust position (120mm or 140mm) or on the case bottom (120mm to 240mm). If you're relying on or supplementing that with air cooling, you get three 140mm PWM case fans pre-installed in the front and one in the rear as an exhaust. C'è tutto lo spazio per gestire i cablaggi dal retro, la parte sotto contenente l'alimentatore si chiude lasciando tutti i componenti liberi dal passaggio di cavi. is a bit louder than the C700P but not significantly so, even though the C700M has an additional fan. Taking the front panel cover off with the fans still at full speed raised dBA to 42.3, one of the noisier results on the chart, but understandable. If this proves anything, it’s that the front panel shell at least does a good job of muffling fan noise. Conclusion
