A look Inside

The inside of the system is where things get interesting. It starts with the side panels, which are held in place by magnets for a nice clean look, and directly behind them are magnetic filters for the intake vents, something I am quite happy about. You will find the same setup on the opposite side.


Looking at the left side of the system, we can see the massive number of LEDs to illuminate it, along with the tubing run to the reservoir and the two 140 mm Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-2000 fans. The pump itself is positioned at the back of the reservoir, near the center, and has nicely sleeved cables, which are never a bad thing.


A closer look at the pump from the opposite side shows it's a Laing DDC 3.25. It's also easier to see from here that fill ports are available and within easy reach on both sides of the reservoir. Comino isn't messing around with the fittings either as they are something you would see in an industrial application rather than traditional consumer hardware.


Just like all the other aspects of the system, the power supply and all its cables are white by design, but it is worth noting that while our test system has a white theme in regards to coolant, wiring, etc., it is fully customizable at the time of purchase. So if white isn't your thing and you want to go red and black or with blues or greens, you certainly can.


The power supply in our sample uses a right-angled cable that runs straight through the system, which is why they include an adapter, as there is no replacing this cable on the pre-production system. However, as you may have guessed that is not a great solution for a mass-produced system; as such, Comino will be using a standard power socket on the back of the chassis. Lastly, the PCIe riser card you see here is indeed quite different from your usual offering. It splits off the PCB with a different wire arrangement that helps keep things a bit more tidy internally compared to the huge ribbon cables you are used to. You can also find the HDD for mass storage just below the PCIe riser card. For reference, it is a Toshiba HDWL120 2 TB HDD, while the SSD you can't see is a PNY CS3030 1 TB NVMe drive.

Of important note is that this system uses full-cover copper water blocks for the graphics card, CPU, and motherboard. Taking that into account, along with the use of industrial fittings and the level of quality in the system's assembly, I won't be tearing it apart. So while it is hard to get a proper look at the blocks, they are of good quality with Comino taking great care in regards to maximizing cooling performance and efficiency.
