So I bought a Cosmos in the winter and now its summer and my HDDs aren't looking too happy with a 43-50 C temperture. Do any Cosmos users experiencing from the same issue now that I have a second look at my HDD case they do look very isolated for hotness to get away.Also card is getting abit hotter up to 62 C on games, but don't think that's too bad for a graphics card.

While I don't have a Cosmos, I remember reading that hot HDDs were an issue. (One reason I don't have a cosmos actually.) CoolerMaster fixed the problem in the Cosmos S. Best of luck to you.

I had the cosmos 1000 case. If you put a 120 mm fan over the cage area at the top it does a good job at cooling the Hd's

I read some people fixed that problem by putting a fan above th hdd. You may have to mod your case though.

Nope not me maybe cause of the room temp you got sometimes you gotta have good airflow like try replacing the stock fans with really well made aftermarket fans like Noctua etc to bring down temps.

Yeah, thanks guys. I'm going to try to find a fan and somehow mod it into my case above the box and see if it helps if not I think I may have to buy a 3.25 to 5.25 dock to install my HDDs where the CD drive is suppose to be since its not isolated.

I have the Cosmos S and I haven't been experiencing problems.
