If you haven't got Cosmos II yet, I advise not getting one. 200mm fans are notorisusly bad performance because their very low pressure ratings mean they can't overcome resistance to airflow of grill and filter .. and if case does not have good airflow the airflow to coolers is pre-heated by their exhaust which results in the air into them when working hard can easily be 10c, 15c, even 20c higher than room .. and every degree warmer air into cool is is same degrees hotter componet will be.
Recommended cooler for an AMD 2700X that's getting toasty?

Ha ha, cheers, I'm sure it'll be great, arriving tomorrow, will get it installed over the next day or so! Cheers for the tip, I may have to look into readjusting fan profiles now this monster is coming!I bought the S version with a brown fan so I can buy the Chromax bits over the coming months because I love buying things for my PC
Enjoy, I'm sure you wont be disappointed, if you think its too loud in windows because the CPU is boosting when browsing etc just set a custom fan curve, mine is completely silent in Windows
Thanks for the concern doyll, I've had it for over a year now. I haven't noticed any problems with it and the space it affords is crucial with the amount of stuff I have in there. The new CPU cooler is a precaution as I'm finding Handbrake on HD recoding is putting the temps up high, otherwise it runs quite happily.

Arctic Freezer 34 e-sports duo. Beats the Dark Rock 4 and nearly half the price, fairly quiet also.
You might find basics in How Airflow Works and Setting up a case for optimum cooling linked below worth looking at. I also advise blocking all openings not covered by intake fans in front (& bottom if used) intakes so the air being pushing into case flow through case and doesn't leak back in front of fans.

its a great cooler for £35 and will cool your 2700x sufficiently. Like all fans (whether they be on air cooler, AIO's or custom loos or as case fans) -the cooler is quiet when the fans are running at 40%, is reasonably quiet when the fans are running at 50%, and is noisy when running at 100% fan speed 9but at 100% this cooler shifts much air through - holding hand behind it is very noticeable).
Doing encoding (say with handbrake for making sure your youtube upload is 1080 60fps all the way through) will use all your threads at 100% of the time - which is taxing - if noise is a concern perhaps you may need to consider the dark rock pro 4 (or the noctua alternative).

I would suggest that you create a custom fan profile in your bios to try and keep your fans quiet when not encoding (say 50% fan speed between 20 and 60ºC and then to ramp up to 100% fan speed between 60 and 65ºC).
