The AWD Ignis Aqua 290X 250D scores well, although we can see the Core i5 4670k lets the overall score a little. We can't help but feel an overclocked Core i7 4770k would have been a better fit for the R9 290X.
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.
