Then what is the issue? If the outcome is the same why does it matter? The video it was featured in wasn't even a review, the premise was someone who has zero experience in water cooling trying to install it. I feel like most people didn't even watch the video.
Sure do love the hivemind downvoting instead of answering my question. I am genuinely asking, what is the issue? I really don't understand why it has so many people this mad. To me it seems like people were expecting a review when that wasn't the intent of the video.
So sick of this shit. Reviewing something and then hiding behind "it's not a review bro!" You know damn well the criticisms extended beyond just that. Linus straight up just said it was a bad product outright. THAT'S A REVIEW.
He didn't say it was a bad product in anywhere in the video. Maybe you should watch the thing you are trying to criticize.
The original video is clearly a review and he clearly criticizes the product for being hard to install even though he is of course installing it incorrectly and not using the materials the company provided. He states unequivocally it's a bad product here: "It's a bad product. It's bad because it makes absolutely no sense and nobody should buy it".
