Cooler Master Cosmos SE Review

Roald November 26, 2013 Cases, Component, Highlights-new

We are using the Cooler Master Hyper 103 cooler to keep our Intel Core i7 3770k cool and perform our tests with the CPU at its default clock speed before then overclocking it to 4.6GHz with the voltage set to 1.3v.

Test System:

  • Processor: Intel Core i7 3770k
  • Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LX2
  • Memory: 16GB G.Skill Ares Blue
  • Graphics Card: Sapphire HD 7790 2GB GDDR5 OC
  • Power Supply: OCZ ZT Series 550W
  • Chassis: Cooler Master Cosmos SE
  • Monitor: Acer X243HQ
  • Boot Drive: Intel SSD 510
  • Storage Drive: 2TB Seagate Barracuda

System validation can be found here.

Software:

  • CPUID HW Monitor 1.23
  • CPUID CPU-Z 1.65
  • Prime95 v27.1
  • Furmark 1.11.0

We are testing the Cooler Master Cosmos SE's performance as follows:

  • Room temperature is kept at 22° throughout our tests.
  • The CPU Fan is set to 100% to eliminate inconsistencies as a result of PWM control.
  • Idle temperatures are obtained after booting the PC and idling on the desktop for 30 minutes.
  • CPU load temperatures are obtained after running Prime95′s Small FTTs test for 15 minutes.
  • GPU load temperatures are obtained after running Furmark’s Burn-In Test for 15 minutes.
  • To measure noise levels we disable the CPU fans and GPU fan.

When Intel launched Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) in 2024 we gave you the technical details and followed up with a review of the Asus Zenbook S 14 which has incredible battery life. In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025. On the one hand we have Lunar Lake which we like, while on the other hand we have Arrow Lake which is troubled, yet both families of processors run on Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores and have a huge amount in common.
