This is separate from our existing tour of Bitspower's water block manufacturing facility, which is mostly filled with CNC machines. In this tour, we look at the research & development lab responsible for intaking new motherboards and GPUs and designing video cards around them. We talk about how long it takes to design a water block from scratch, the tools involved in creating measurements, the QC processes, and the production timelines and costs. This includes surface levelness testing (recently introduced to our cooler reviews), surface mapping of new components for keep-out zones, 3D modeling in SolidWorks, and more.
