Water Cooling My New Rig - Cosmos S - Any Ideas??

[DOWNFALL]

Hi guys,

Ive been asking for help and ideas about my new setup HERE... CLICK HERE

But I need help with reguards radiators and the cosmos case.

as you can see from this picture the fans are mounter in the case, would i be able to mount a radiator in the top compartment.

Or can i mount the radiator inside the case and the fans sucking the air through the radiator rather than blowing from underneath it??

If you fancy a little bit of drilling and the dimensions are there I see no reason why it wouldn't work mate

Half way down is a list compiled of all the radiators that will fit in the top of the case without any modification.

No worries mate. Any of those rads + 25mm depth fans fits perfectly inside the case without getting in the way of the motherboard

Man I can't wait to see this WC build finished. The Cosmos S is simply the most amazing case I've ever seen.

Ahh, I wish but, it's things like these that aren't needed. The next two (and final upgrades for a while) for my PC will be a next-gen video card and a Wolfdale.

I hope to get a job this summer, work my butt off, save up around $2000 or $3000. That, on top of the $4000 my parents are giving me, and maybe a last minute selling of everything on my desk if I find a car I really want for that much more, should get me a pretty darn nice car w/lower miles.

Currently looking at a 1998-2001 Accord Coupe or a 2000-2006 Ford Taurus. The Accord will have a bit more miles on it, but I can get a Taurus with 60k miles on it for $7.5k EZ.

i've been looking for a list like that. now that i know a thermochill pa 120.3 won't fit out of the box, how can i make one fit? would i just need to drill new holes?

also, i read that there is no reset button on the cosmos s - how would one reset the pc then??

Depends why it doesn't fit. It may be a case of getting a new radiator if the dimensions dont fit.

A lot of high end cases dont have reset switches, theyre fairly pointless. If the OS is working, you do it through that, if theres no OS, kit the power switch. You could fit one if you really wanted though.
