Building A Custom Gaming Computer – The Completed Machine (AMD Build 2012) (Cooler Master Cosmos II)
**Feel free to contact me with any questions at all. I love helping out fellow computer enthusiasts, or people who are interested in this.

It was performing the best and fastest of all my HDDs. I didn’t want to slow down the boot by adding a messed up HDD. Bios is the tits. You can use your mouse and there is a full GUI which is very slick. The heatsink is installed to blow in a “down to up” flow. This is to work with the theory that “heat rises”. The chassis has a “top fan” right above the heat sink blowing out of the case. There is also a vent on top of the chassis. There are 2 additional slots for 2 expansion fans within that vent. 1.) Either I’m an idiot, or the heatsink was a little hard to install. 2.) There were a ton of cables in the Cosmos II that are for expansion fans…I didn’t know this and was pretty confused by …
