Hello guys, i am getting this fan,
CORSAIR Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
for this chasis, Cooler Master COSMOS II Ultra Tower Chassis
so how many fans will be in there in the corsair box, and should i buy other fans separately, like the chasis can have 4-5 fans
It comes with two fans. However, that is the older version, H100i is the new one.

I have a Corsair H80 that I installed in a new build last summer. Works great except the stock Corsair fans are noisy (too noisy for my use as I use this PC for my recording studio). Corsair support acknowledged the loud fans and that many users were installing aftermarket "quiet" fans, which I did and now it is useable.
I would say every cooler is like this
I went and got some high powered fans better CFM and everything vs what they give you in the box
had a situation where the fans simply had me almost overheating changed my fans to Mugen sythe no problems since and my temps stay low you can use there fans but sorry to say you will be disapointed some nois DB levels get yourself some fast but quiet aftermarket fans
you can get a Antec620 Khuler for more then half the price of a 100i Corsair and add more powerfull fans it is pretty much the same thing you will be saving almost 70 bucks

this should give you a good idea on some options
No, you don't have to buy the cooler AND buy replacement fans for it. Some people find the fans that come with the unit to be either too loud, or lacking in another way, and replace them with better fans. You don't have to do that as the fans that come with it will work just fine, but they are loud when spooled up.
My system was built primarily for my Recording Studio and thus needed to be "quiet". I also have a "quiet" modular power supply, too. The case fans in my Corsair Carbide 500R case are set for the lowest speed and I don't have any cooling issues. My CPU "idles" around 29C for the four cores and rarely gets about 40C.
KK,
If you want you could purchase 2 120mm fans for the Corsair H100 for a push/pull configuration .
