Unigine provides an interesting way to test hardware. It can be easily adapted to various projects due to its elaborated software design and flexible toolset.

A lot of their customers claim that they have never seen such extremely-effective code, which is so easy to understand.

  1. That big bubble tho…

  2. I think with the size (or lack there of) of this build; I’d be using 3/8″ tubing, to make sure there’s no chance of kinks forming along some of those tight bends.
    Also; it looks to have a DDC pump, if that’s the case, how much airflow is it actually going to get before it overheats in that little corner of the chassis?

    I do like the fact that the system comes with a custom loop instead of one of those (awful) AIO systems.
