You know, this is some shit that I expect when dealing with some shady asshole on ebay, but LMG?
Bro... Are you ok?
I always wondered if Linus was actually a slimy POS, but this Billet Labs situation has cemented it for me. If you haven't watched the Gamers Nexus followup video, definitely watch it.
Okay, would we be even talking about Billet Labs after a month if they didn't fuck up this video and selling off the prototype? This situation has been probably the best case scenario for them. This isn't to absolve LMG's part in losing the prototype and selling it off but if it worked as intended we wouldn't be talking about a 900+ waterblock for a gpu right now. It would be a long forgotten video because most consumers don't give a shit about boutique water cooling solutions, wow what a filler ltt episode. There is a market for it but and I continue to say this what super water cooling enthusiast is going to follow the words of local idiot/"funny" youtube man who does stupid watercooling projects in the dumbest ways possible.
It does work as intended. LMG fucked up once again by using the wrong card. Billet Labs sent them a compatible card and LMG lost it.
You missing the point I was making. I'm saying if LTT shot the video right and used a 3090 TI, we wouldn't be talking about this it would be a pointless video that most people wouldn't have given a shit about. It was 100% a filler episode. They really should have done it on a 3090 TI but holy shit this drama about this has been going on for a fucking month now only just rekindled with the GN news.
You're missing the point that you're out here saying it doesn't work as intended, when apparently it does. That wouldn't be happening without LTT fucking them over.
Not OP, but I think the point they're making is that LTT screwed up the video, and that the drama sparked from LTT's screwup gave Billet a lot of publicity they wouldn't have had otherwise.
Personally, I'd trade the publicity for my only working prototype and $2,000 GPU back and a video that didn't shit on me, but if you believe any publicity is good publicity...
I understand they point they're trying to make, but while attempting to do so they repeated the same false conclusion that LTT came to in the review. Someone pointed that out to OP and rather than take that comment in good faith they wanted to harp about "missing the point".
This is what I was referring to. I can read thoroughly, and I did so in that case, but the rest of your comment is entirely irrelevant.
