CoolerMaster Cosmos 1000 Case Review Reverse Pressure Effect

Reverse Pressure Effect


The Cosmos 1000 is one big case, in fact one of the biggest I have seen yet for the desktop market. The case stands almost two feet tall and looks like a space ship when looking down upon it. The color scheme is a mixture of silver and black tones that are very eye catching and stylish, it's also very modern in its exterior design. The chassis is made of high quality brushed steel and fits just about any ATX FF motherboard, as its interior is quite large and expansive. Air flow always a concern of any user is handled by the bottom intake fan and both dual top mount and one rear exhaust fan.


CoolerMaster Cosmos 1000 Case Review Air Tunnel

Air Tunnel


One strange item on this case is the VGA air-flow tunnel, which supposedly sends air across the VGA cards in an effort to keep them cool in a confined enclosure by using negative pressure effect, which draws air into the system through the tunnel. How well this air tunnel actually works will remain to be seen, but it is quite interesting nonetheless. This technique will only work in a completely closed case with the appropriate amount of fans in theory. In theory the other air that is being pumped through the system will suck air in thorough the cases rear vents and then through the air-flow tunnel and across your VGA cards for additional cooling in the case.
