Default BlueCooling BTMS Reviewed

[H]ardOCP reviews BlueCooling's BTMS Water Cooling System. The conclusion is that the BTMS is a poorly designed, poorly manufactured, and poor performing excuse for a cooling system. Not only was it the worst performing WB compared to many older blocks, when using a pelt, condensation was terrible, and the design offered no way to prevent it with insulation.

Personally I prefer the intro:

While I have used almost every single water cooling product on the market, I have actually steered clear of water cooling reviews in the past because of these legions of loyal fans whom shoot down new products simply because they are not made by their favorite company and so on

Umm yeah, like your OCH shit?


Unlike processors wars, the water cooling market over the last 18 months or so has fallen victim of the same “feuding” and has made it a very unpopular subject broach. All out name calling and forum / site wars over “who makes the best water block” has almost made people shy away from water cooling articles all together.

Who stopped publishing reviews because some stupid Texan can't understand anything?


As I mentioned earlier, I own water blocks, complete water cooling kits and accessories from almost every manufacturer in the market today, I have seen it all.

Really? or did companies just give them to you so you'd whore their company out.



I have to admit it though, the rest of the article did actually appear to be honest

I'm not sure if you pulled that derogatory comment out your ass, or you think Texans ride horses to work and school and use the outhouse. Just last week we got real electricity too.

All I have to say is scientific measurements are not made in F, they're made in C....

A measurement's a measurement regardless of the system you use. As long as the units are consistent within your tests, the results will still apply. You can measure something in inches or in centimeters. That doesn't make either measurement less valid. Yes, scientsts use the SI system. Doesn't mean the others are less valid measurements.

I commented in another thread that the unit wasnt a finished product as per www.bluecooling.com.. in fact it's not even for sale yet or forcasted to be. NO ONE else has review the BTMS. If it were being released for a for sale product it would be sent to MANY different companies, and would time it for sale to get MONEY which is the only reason to make it in the first place. The hardocp review stated that it looked like it was thrown together.. well the fact that it doesn't even resemble the BTMS current pictures tells you something.
I will wait and let more than ONE person review a product before I write it off. All this and I too am a stupid Texan.. LOL!

I wouldn't read a [H]ocp review, not a person over there knows what they are doing.
