Welcome to Tom's Forum!

Fitting the Noctua NH-D14 in the case is not the concern, it will fit in the CM Cosmos S, the real concern is the height with the RAM {44mm max}. http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=compatibility_gen&products_id=34&lng=en

I am not a Noctua NH-D14 fanboy, look at the Thermaltake Frio or Prolimatech Megahalems. If your goal is to run above 4GHz then look at water unless you're deaf.

so u say that i must look for an little cooler?
cause i will buy an Intel Core i7-870 2.93GHz and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580

Based on above, it makes zero sense for you to get any after market CPU Fan. The 'Stock' CPU Fan works fine with NO OC. The Noctua NH-D14 is 100% meant for people who want to OC their CPU ~4GHz+ verses 2.93GHz.

If you 'might' OC a little; Cooling + Low Noise:
$48 Thermaltake Frio - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106150
$80 Corsair H60 - http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Cooling-High-performance-Liquid-CWCH60/dp/B004MYFOE2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300234365&sr=8-1
$62 Corsair H50 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181010
