    I couldn’t believe the story about the water block.

      “we did what we did because no matter what the temps are, we thought it was so expensive that none of our viewers should come away from this video wanting to buy it”

        Sounds like if they had no good faith intention of even testing the water block they should have done the morally correct thing and told billet they’re not going to review it. But doing that when they’ve already looked at it would be a waste of content yeah and they want a return on every dollar and second spent.

          I dont even care about the shitty review part tbh, it was a dick move but its somewhat excusable. But to actually sell a single best prototype they had staright to public where a big company can swoop it and make it their product… That was the trigger point for me and the only defense they can come up with is charity and compensation? Man all you had to do was apologize but how do u fuck it up that bad.

            Aren’t they legally able to get it back? It’s basically selling off stolen goods, isn’t it?

              I doub’t if they could go up against a company as big as lmg through legal process especially if its a prototype without any patents. All they can hope for is they would at least give some monetary compensation. Just read the story about Madison as well, man I wish I never watched ltt in the first place.

        I know right? Have they even met the sort of people who build computers? I could buy a sports car at my age, but decided to build a PC and save $20 instead.

      He’s built a $100,000 gaming desk in the past year, as if he couldn’t see a market for an expensive cooler block.
