Cooler Master ATCS 840

CoolerMaster CM690 is the master!

Advantages: Cheap, well ventilated, screw-less design
Disadvantages: None for me.

When upgrading my computer and installed the new parts in my old case, this proved to be a bit of a silly idea as the temperatures it was running at was too high. Having largely spent out on the upgrade i wanted a fairly cheap case. The CoolerMaster CM690 looked like it was to fit the bill perfectly, its was fairly cheap approx £55, it did NOT come with power supply, which for me wasn't a problem as I'd just bought a new CoolerMaster Real Power M620 620W PSU. To start with this case looks very good and feels light when empty. It also feels sturdy and well balanced on my desk and on carpet, although a carpet with too high a pile on it could interfere with the PSU exhaust and the mounting for another fan. The front and top of the case is basically a big grille which obviously helps with letting the hot air escape. Access is ...

Review of Cooler Master CM 690

Cooler Master Cosmos S - Review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

First of all the Cosmos S case comes in excellent protective packaging. A sturdy cardboard outer box encases two styrofoam blocks (top & bottom) which prevent the case from moving at all during transportation. The case is wrapped inside of a plastic bag, and then again, inside Cooler Master's own fabric bag which is brown in colour and is strong enough to retain and use in the future whenever the case needs covering. It's the little extra's and attention to detail that makes a lot of difference in my opinion. If first impression's are anything to go by, then this case ticks all the boxes. It's huge, beautiful and demands the attention of any passer by, whether they are interested in computers or not! Along with the case comes a plastic bag containing all of the necessary bits and pieces to assemble the case and control the cable ...

Review of Cooler Master Cosmos S

Masters at cooling

Advantages: Does its job, comes with good instructions, easy to use, some nice features
Disadvantages: More expensive then usual compound (worth it though if you have very cold CPU)

the centre of the template, spread the compound with the card supplied, and then peel back the template. *Specification* The Cooler Master Thermal Compound Kit Premium Processor heatsink paste is very similar to the 'performance' paste offered by Cooler Master, and I'm not %100 what the real difference is - except the price. The premium compound is about £4 and the performance is about £3. The only real difference that I can see is that the premium compound is able to be used from the temperate range of -50deg C to 170deg C. The performance compound can be used from 0deg C to 170deg C. To be honest though, unless you are running your computer using liquid nitrogen or something you will be unlikely to be any better off using the premium paste compared to performance. Plus it will set you back a bit more money too. Also, by looking ...
