@Jay85
Yeah we want to see more video
Maybe you could be the next youtube star
How abouts
A channel called Jays2pence
Worked for the other guy

I highly doubt it , seems YouTube comes with an inherent amount of drama that i definitely do not need in my life. I'm happy for people to view and appreciate the videos.

LOL Jays2pence, i like that. The UK edition in a Yorkshire accent that no one outside of the UK understands lol.

I always miss the "R" when i type his name .

Yup, stick to the facts, if its rubbish then say its rubbish. People are far too often scared of losing sponsorships if they post an honest opinion about their product.

I did the same with Bitspower, had some concerns with some of their products and voiced it to my contact. He agreed and made the effort to look into and fix the issues at hand, that's how a company should operate.

As opposed to a certain other big name who hired a prolific modder as their chief designer rapidly sending their products into form over function, supplied multiple thousands of pounds of kit out to modders as a glorified circle jerk then started charging hundreds of pounds for some slabs of acrylic only to stop paying staff and suppliers.

Yeah, let's not be like them.

Don't even need to speculate at this point do we?

D'you know what it is funny you mention that.

As an autistic person I get funny feelings... Like, about people, or companies, or etc. I have always tried to avoid that company. The one you mention, like. I never quite knew why either but I do now. I don't know why I felt that way either, but my intuition seemed to be correct. It was flabbergasting how much stuff they gave away to promote their company tbh. Idiotic, even.

Yet I never felt that way about Bitspower. Ever. Last year GN went out there, they let him in and gave him a factory tour and it was amazing. I never even realised they had all of their own machines too, unlike "other" companies. Like seriously man, how are you in business that long, making those types of figures, and don't even invest into your own machinery FFS. Even Alex Banks has done that !

For the longest time "Made in Slovenia EU" was all over their website pages and packaging. They did have all their own machining, because even as the most popular and mainstream brand, they were still pretty niche with a focussed product line.

Then all the Torque stuff came out whilst still maintaining the old designs as "EK Classic", and all that was passed off to Chinese manufacturing. Then they went bonkers with monoblocks for motherboards nobody wanted, 75 revisions of distroplates for cases that were never watercooling friendly, attempted a closed ecosystem with Matrix7 that still doesn't work properly unless you build specific cookie-cutter systems, and all the super niche stuff purely shiz n giggles like the PS5 block, Intel TEC AIO and the In Win collabs, and clearly couldn't keep up with manufacturing so farmed everything out.

And here we are.

Watercool still manufacture their own kit because they have, like, 5 products and they're amazing.

What an absolutely mad looking build, love it! Not sure how I missed it while it was ongoing!
