The shitstorm of a fallout has pushed the community behind Billet Labs more than they ever would have gotten had they just gotten reviewed properly. It may have sucked what had happened but I think they will be better off in the long term now that people are aggressively supportive of them. Funny twist of fate in my opinion.
Billet Labs decided that they don’t want it back and just want the compensation instead. They started to make a new prototype as it is likely faster than them getting back the original if at all. Can’t say I blame them.
Yeah, I guess I was assuming the prototype was in a state where it would still work. Doubly shitty to auction off something that you broke for “charity”.
I may be wrong
but didn’t LMG put it in their tormach to shave off THERMAL MASS such that the block didn’t interfere with RAM?They knowingly destroyed a prototype in the video. Off course Billet has to cut their losses with this shit.Edit: I was wrong. See comment below. That happens when you watch a video on second screen :)
I just rewatched to see (wanted a refresher on just how badly they trashed Billet): they machined down the heatsink from the motherboard to make clearance to the Billet Labs block. They didn’t modify the block itself.
Thank you. Thats what I get when I watch videos on a second screen :)
I admit I never watched the original review of the product so… That might be a detail I missed
