Just note: If you decide to go chimney, get ready for a job within a job. You'll be removing and reinserting a lot of screws. And then some more. Perk up a pot of coffee and charge your power screwdriver before you undertake that job. It's an Erector-set session on top of a PC build. However, the Cooler Master Cosmos C700M Big Tower not only looks good as a gaming PC. Thanks to its elegant appearance, for example, it also fits into modern office space to serve as a case for workstations or servers. With space for four 2.5-inch SSDs and five 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SSDs / HDDs and a drive bay for external 5.25-inch drives, the Cosmos C700M offers plenty of storage space. GPU dT averaged 24.1C in the GPU render, within margin of error of the top three scores: the Dark Base Pro 900 rev. 2, PM01, and HAF X. The C700P averaged 27C in the same test, definitely not as impressive. Noise
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. The rear panel of the case is unremarkable, but it is surrounded by some removable plastic trim that's held on by magnets. I can't see any reason to remove this panel often, so it would have been better had Cooler Master screwed on this panel instead of connecting it with magnets. In my sample, it falls off easily when nudged, and I noticed a lot of flex on this piece... The Cooler Master logo on the I/O panel also lights up with RGB LEDs. These LEDs are exceptionally bright, and though I'm not a huge fan of these, this case is quite an eyeful when lit up. A button on the I/O panel allows you to control the LEDs through a host of presets. Alternately, a connector for a direct motherboard connection allows you to sync these LEDs with your board for software-based control. Your feelings about them may vary (mine are mixed), but they function as handles and are invaluable for moving this behemoth around. It's still challenging to budge with them (and I hate to imagine moving it without them), so I'm glad they are there. These bars also have a positive effect on airflow, as the lower pair holds the true bottom of the case about 1.5 inches off the desk or floor.
Cooler Master's new Cosmos is out of this world.
That doesn’t mean it’s worth spending the money on -- we’ll leave that to you. As a halo product, the ultimate goal of the C700M is to bring attention to Cooler Master’s brand. If you like what you see but can’t justify the price, consider the company’s H500P Mesh (we reviewed this very positively) or plain H500. They fixed the tint on the side panel. The original c700p had a dark green tinted side panel that was hard to see through. With this side panel it's so clear that it doesn't look like there's even a side panel on. 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.
The side panels on this case are a dream, they are magnetic and you can take them off the case in a matter of seconds, you just open the side panel all the way and slide it up and it comes right off. No tools required. We recently validated our test methodology using a thermal chamber, finding our approach to be nearly perfectly accurate. Learn more here. Thermals & Noise If you want to deploy an optical drive, the panel tips open just enough to permit the drive tray to extend. I didn't even realize that the front opened until I was partway through the building process. That's how subtle the front panel is; nothing indicates that it opens at all. Powering up the case illuminates lines of RGB LEDs that follow the seam between the metal portion in the middle of the case and the plastic... Pre-installed: 3x 140 mm (front, 4-pin PWM, max 1,200 rpm), 1x 140 mm (rear, 4-pin PWM, max 1,200 rpm)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 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.
Cooler Master’s C700M is very much a halo product, but our review of the C700M will focus on build quality, thermals, acoustics, and cable management. Ultimately, this is a showpiece -- it’s something one might buy because they can afford it, and that’s good enough reason. We will still be reviewing the Cooler Master C700M on its practical merits as an enclosure, as always, but are also taking into consideration its status as a halo product -- that is, something from which features will be pulled to the low-end later. Otherwise, it's an excellent compromise versus the optical-drive situation in most cases today: either no bays (fine, if you don't need one), or a bay or two that many users don't use and that's thus a visual detraction. This way, you don't see a drive on the outside of the case.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...
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. 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. But as a result, I found that sizeable aluminum cases act as great passive cooling, so the inside of your computer can dissipate far better than a smaller case. Get some quality fans, and you end up with a quiet rig. In the early 2000s I bought a nice all aluminum silverstone case, and that lasted me until I bought this one. The case predated 2.5" drives, didn't have the fancy rubber vibration dampening, and had headers for USB1.0 probably. I had additional problems where my Intel 4790K with a nice big coolermaster heatsink on it, was too big for the pull out tray, so I had to install it the old fashioned way. If you’re interested in purchasing this case, then consider two things before making your decision. Moving on to the comparative chart, the C700M’s 48.3-degree result is one of the best GPU results we’ve seen, which is why there was so little improvement when the front panel was removed. The number of intake fans combined with the width and general size of the case means that the GPU is supplied with plenty of cool air, and is able to exhaust as much hot air as possible. One of the few cases that did better was the original C700P at 43.3C dT, but only when its front panel and filter were removed. The C700M placed 46.5 degrees in the same configuration, which is more or less equivalent. 3DMark
Like be quiet!, Cooler Master has created some individual 3.5” bays that can be installed on rails at the front of the case. Five were included with our sample, but more could fit. There’s also still a single 5.25” bay, with two possible positions. It’s strange to think that 5.25” bays are luxury items now. As hardware ages, there’s a line it crosses between being obsolete and being owned by enthusiasts.
Great Deal
