Cooler Master Cosmos S Review

Introduction

Computer cases seem to be alive at the moment, what I mean by that is well…they are growing pretty big. This is partially due to the demands of the latest high end hardware, such as SLI and water-cooling. But also, gamers and overclockers are fan boys for large cases. So far, we haven’t really dealt with large cases at Tech-Reviews – - aside from the P190 – - so today; we’ve got another fat ass computer case. Introducing the Cooler Master Cosmos S…

Packaging

The Cooler Master Cosmos S arrives in a black fairly hefty box – - bigger than most case size boxes. At the front of the box is the Cosmos S logo whilst at the back of the box are detailed photos of the case and its features.

Cooler Master Cosmos S Review

Stopping the Cosmos S from being damaged during shipping, there are two large polystyrene inserts protecting the top and bottom. There is a gap between the sides and the box, so they will not be damaged. Once the case is removed from the polystyrene, you will find the Cooler Master – - sealed in a brown fabric pull string bag. Emblazoned on one side of the brown bag is a silver Cooler Master logo. Its unusual packing a case in a fabric bag, as I’ve only ever seen it been done once, that was on an Antec Sonata 550 Plus. However, I do like the idea and it gives a good indication of quality before even revealing the case.

Alongside with the case, there is a whole bundle of accessories:

  • 5.25” to 3.5” brackets
  • A large bag of screws
  • EPS extension cable
  • Bios speaker
  • Lots of cable management ties and clips
  • Warranty information leaflet
  • Installation guide

This is all the accessories you’d need for the installation of a computer inside the Cosmos S. It’s also worth me mentioning that the installation guide is written in two languages, English and Chinese. Furthermore, there are many detailed diagrams showing how a computer is installed in the case and how various parts inside the Cooler Master work.

CoolIT Domino i5 Testing

Back in July this year we tested the CoolIT watercooling kit using a heavily overclocked AMD 7750+ BE. It’s performance really surprised us with it absolutely caning the other coolers in question. However, processors have quickly moved on since July and we’ve got the likes of the Intel Core i7 and recent i5 dominating the market. For this reason, we thought some i5 testing using our trusty CoolIT Domino was in order. Let’s see if the performance from the Domino still survives in this day and age…

Spire TherMax Pro CPU Cooler Review

What started from simply an aluminium block in the Intel Pentium I era, CPU coolers have become one of the most adapted pieces of hardware used in computers. However, the principle of such a product is much the same to how it stood back in 1993 when the original Intel Pentium microprocessor was introduced.

In the last few years, there seems to have been a definite slow-down in the modification of CPU coolers. Companies are now seeming to follow a standard: aluminium fins, copper heat-pipes and a 120mm fan. And would you blame them? Well as the saying goes ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’, so probably not. Today, for review, we have a CPU cooler from a company named ‘Spire’, they’re fairly new to us, so let’s see if this TherMax Pro cooler surprises us with any new offerings to the processor cooling scene…

Stratospherix NetPortal 1.2

Imagine being able to access the files and folders on your PC from a mobile device. For most of us, this would massively change the way in which we work. Instead of waiting until you’re near a PC to be able to preview and proof read reports for tomorrow’s meeting, you’re now suddenly able to do it whilst travelling about, therefore making full use of your available time.

Dream-not though, this is now reality. NetPortal, an app available to iPhone users boasts to be able to do just this and many more tasks. Furthermore, costing just £2.99 (or $4.99 to our American friends) on the fruit-shop’s store, Stratospherix’s app sounds too good to be true. Let’s find out if it is…

Xigmatek Dragoon and Cuirassier Memory Heat Spreaders

Memory cooling is one of those things that most people leave untouched. There may be several reasons for this: the foremost being that the stock heat spreaders on most memory modules will be sufficient for most user’s needs. But occasionally, there will of course be users who need to push their memory to the limit – particularly overclockers and gaming enthusiasts. These users will therein need some hardcore cooling for their precious RAM. With that in mind I introduce you to the Xigmatek Dragoon and Cuirassier heat spreaders.
