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.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

I saw the video on it. It is an extremely overbuilt water cooling system that LTT completely fucked the review on. I don't really know if the cooler was any good since the testing was far from complete.
It's an expensive novelty item and completely useless for practical purposes as much cheaper blocks can perform the same task just as well. It's like that one time when LTT build an Xbox controller out of gold, nice bling-bling, but it doesn't make your gaming any better.
I don’t think that’s a fair assessment. Comparing to a traditional loop, it has marginally better thermals, one less set of tubing (i.e. places for leaks to spring up), and a smaller form factor. Wether or not those are “worth the money” is completely subjective. As someone interested in custom SSF builds I thought it was interesting.
We don't actually know this since no one actually test it, just to be clear.
Unless you are going the "My minivan works just as well as Ferrari for driving to work" angle, which isn't what the high-end tech segment is really about.
So what, LTT does all kinds of impractical and extreme stuff
not that anyone watching LTT could possibly know this, since they didn't bother to test it properly
