what's up guys just two cents here and it is time to review a case but you know I don't like to just do straight-up case reviews talking about the features I like to actually build in the case because that's how you get a really good feel for a case I mean that's where you just that's where you are able to decide where its shortcomings are how to have an IO shield dislike fall out of there that's where you decide where the shortcomings are and you actually get a good idea of what the case is all about this was the Cougar case that built sort of a crudely thrown together and the parts are definitely not cheap by any means but the system was just thrown together with parts we had available when we moved into the studio and I needed an editing rig when I was moving the Rison system to some other uses and this is that but now what we're gonna do is we're gonna be checking out the new cosmos see 700 P which is a highly anticipated case because the cosmos line and the half line are the high airflow cases those are two cases that really put Coolermaster on the map in terms of enthusiasts gamers and professionals today's video is sponsored by story blogs amazing creative resource

changing out a couple of parts in here too though I'm not gonna be reusing my x99 system here although a great system with a 6900 k8 core is 16 threads overclocked a 4.4 definitely no slouch but I'm trying to decide what I want to go with moving forward I'm thinking about putting in my 79 60 X which is a 16 core 32 thread so I've got some concerns here about how it's a cooling which will figure out these like rubber pieces got like duct Wow these are the Maglev fans from Corsair and I like them they're fairly quiet and they have a lot of static pressure I tend to go a little crazy on the zip ties so then it makes case and build this assembly a little bit of a pain in the arse my biggest complaint with Corsair fans in the past was they never gave you enough cable length I think they've remedied that now you had a good amount of link on there now before like the the sp1 20s and stuff they didn't give you enough length in my opinion so my 4 gate Tara Buddha Margate Tara Buddha my 4 gigabyte Barracuda Drive that I've been editing off of I'm gonna be switching that over to one of the 10 terabyte drives but you know what you guys know how I like to do this glamour shots time you I'm gonna dab but I honestly feel there's no better way to find the pros and the cons to a case than to kind of really push it to the limits even if I had just thrown in hardware off-the-shelf air cooler and stuff I don't think I would have found out some of the things about this case that I'm not really fond of let's go and start with some of the things that are really cool about it first of all I've heard a lot of people complain about the you know the orientation of motherboards some people really like the inverted motherboard look because you can see the cooler on your graphics card you can see that sometimes it seems more natural for some people to have it upside down because then I don't know whatever reason you could you could flip this around and make it a left side case so that the windows on the left side it's upside-down it's inverted so it's actually compatible with switching you know the orientation depending on how you want it so that's a really neat feature you can actually take the drive cage and scoot it forward scoot it back you can make more room for front mounted radiators radiator support is actually pretty off the hook you can hit fit up to a 420 rad in the front so 120 240 280 360 in the front or 140 280 420 in the front on the top you can actually fit a 420 radiator in there and you can fit it at the same time even though coolermaster says it's officially not supported the problem is because it's a center mounted radiator and it's not slid forward or towards the face of the case like a lot of companies are doing now what happens is if you're running a thicker radiator than something like a 30 mil it's going to interfere with something like the motherboard in fact I'm running a 45 mil thick 360 right now there's actually no way I'm going to get the EPS power off without removing my radiator because once I put plugged in the power and then put the radiator down it covers perfectly the EPS power pins so I can't actually remove them and take them out but on the flip side I shouldn't really have to because the only way I can get the motherboard out anyway is to undo the loop because it's rigid tubing so it's kind of a you know 6:1 way a half a dozen the other no matter what to get this motherboard out I have two fully disassembled it anyway which is coming down side to rigid tubing but I'm on a tangent I digress that's a conversation for a different video but I've got two graphics cards in here which is nice they're not sag as far as as much as they were in my cougar case which is kind of interesting but yeah they look beautiful in there in fact Bret turn the LED on there we go crunching on me that's a lie Bridge led my bed something else it's kind of nice though is it got these shrouds all over the case we've got the one on the bottom right here covering the PSU I left that one in there just for the sake of clean cleanliness we've also got this one that would go right here in the front but obviously I'm leaving this one off because we don't want to cover the reservoir and the tubing as some of the best visual assets of doing a build like this so we're gonna leave this one off and hand that to Nick there's also more on the back behind the reservoir where the res is mounted which kind of meets up cables so as you're running cables are not all ugly and in the way and since I'm running white cables in here against a black interior cable management is a big deal because white cables would obviously stand out if they were ugly but as you can see we don't have too much of a problem here with the GPU though I'm outed the cables around the side like this because I don't have the front panel on so I could do that or that front shroud because with the sli spacing in this particular motherboard it pushed the lower graphics card really close to the pass-through grommet which made it very ugly and hard to get a good tidy run because it's offset because these cards are longer were normally that grommets lined up with like the founders edition cards so the tubing or the cables could come straight through and go right into the graphics card and look clean these were offset because they're longer cards and so I had this crazy Bend that just didn't look good so this is the better cleaner routing option for me full length filters on the bottom on the top and on the face so that you're able to easily pull out the filters everything you have just minimized inside of your case you blow these out and off you go but let's go and talk about something that I'm not a fan of with this case and that's the fact that it only gives you two three and a half inch drive sleds and when I kind of complained about that to Coolermaster their response was they had listened to feedback over time of various cases where people wanted more water cooling and reservoir support and less harddrive cages so they kind of came up with this mounting sled sort of a hovering mounting sled which actually looks an awful lot like the in wind sleds that I used in the tattoo point-o case in the Terry Crews build but regardless I'm only using one of them because I have one three and a half inch drive in here but one of the things that was amazing about the cosmos too was the amount of native three and a half inch two and a half inch drive support that you've had with all of those drive sleds and you kind of lose that with this that's some of its heritage that you're not getting here and it did say you can purchase those separately but they're $5.99 each on a case that's already about 300 bucks if you have to buy five or six more of those to get all your hard drives in there at six bucks a pop out it's another thirty thirty-five bucks just to add something that was previously on an additional case that's really expensive or on an expensive case so that's kind of a downside to me but this case looks amazing it's got built-in case lighting you can see out here you can cycle through it where's the button to cycle through it for static it's also got RGB you know stuff going on I just leave it on white does cycle and whatnot but it shares a lot of heritage from the cosmos to these rails are all metal they do support the entire chassis and this is not a light build by any means so we've been moving it all around we were filling it and having to tilt it and put it upside down and on its back we were using those handles trust me they came in handy so moving the case wouldn't be too hard because of the support of those rails but again it's a very heavy case and something worth keeping in mind but ultimately I don't have too many gripes about this case and I know a lot of you guys have been really asking me about it yeah they see the C 700 that's awesome but what about the H 500 that's coming guys it's got a later embargo date I will be doing something with that I don't know if it'll be to this caliber but I will be doing something because again the half series is a highly anticipated case that a lot of people want to know about because they were there was a huge fan base for the high airflow series and they're bringing that back as well so anyway guys it's time to go thanks for watching my look here at the C 700p basically my look is just doing a build in it hit the like button if you guys enjoy this build this is I basically did a build that would normally take me several days and crammed it into two days actually a little less than two days I think it turned out pretty damn good especially that view fluid you guys wanted me to use the blue in the thread Ripper build so badly beside I'm using silver and thread Ripper and the blue fits in here perfect contrast with the white and the gunmetal and the black I don't think it could have looked any better I know some people are disappointed that I didn't water cool the graphics cards but I wanted to keep using my further win three cards because they're so damn powerful and it's gonna be nice now for me to try out different graphics cards to on my main system which I wasn't able to ever do with skunkworks because they were hard lined water graphics cards so now I can at least play around with that and with the modern cooling now no problems there I mean the graphics cards run so damn cool now with the custom coolers it's not really a problem that's why I made at least the LEDs match right because then you can kind of it sort of ties in but it's time to go guys thanks for watching make sure you guys mash that like button merchandise link is down in the description below hundreds and hundreds of shirts sold in the first month that this has been up so huge thank you you guys will support it that way and as always guys thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one
