To test the USB 3.0 capabilities of the system, we use one of the fastest drives we have – the Patriot SuperSonic Magnum 256GB. We reviewed this way back in February last year.


The Gigabyte Z87N-Wifi Motherboard delivers excellent performance from the USB 3.0 ports. It can deliver a sequential read result of almost 315 MB/s.

ATTO performance is never as high as CrystalDiskMark, however the results are excellent, hitting a peak of 270 MB/S in the read test.

That big bubble tho…
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.
