Hey... I dont have a right to my own Oppinions?. If you look, my reviews are data, not opinions.
My Opinions are just what I think, not what I test. In testing I am fully objective, but when I am not testing, I am looking at all the companies from a practical point of view.
and NO this is not about a sticker, but about taking a product that does work WELL, and lowering its performance. I just think Dtek should offer both, if they did then I would be happy.( I still think the names are goofy.. but .. well no more goofy than the big momma name hehehehe)
I guess yes, if a company puts a BIG ole sticker on the middle of a radiator, yes it would give me a bad impression that the person who makes or sells that doesnt know what they are doing.
Just cause I run a site, doesn't mean I can't have my own opinions on products outside of the reviews. If I didn't I would not be able to look at these products from a consumers POV. Tell me, how am I NOT objective. I am looking at it from a PURELY technical view when I talk about how the paint on the raidator is a BAD IDEA. To say they haven't impressed me is cause I just havent seen anything from them to show me they are any different from the 25 watercooling companies out there already.
Also from what I understand the fittings for their radaitor are epoxied in, not soldered like the Big momma. Epoxy doesn't like shear forces much at all, and heating and cooling cycles CAN crak it ( I have seen JB weld, and a few other epoxies do this already in similar uses. ) You can take what I am saing as being "Biased" or you can take it as being constructive critisism of a product. I am not saying its BAD, just saying it could be done better. It's my hobby to find flaws in gear... thats why I run a website.
I do personally think you can go straight to hell if you think that because I form my own free thoughts, it means I am biased. Shit, Look at Danger Den, they ARE a sponsor, and all that jazz, and I can find a good handful of things to ripp on that radiator about. I can find stuff on the Big Momma, I can find stuff on the Black Ice... They ALL HAVE FLAWS. WHY NOT TALK ABOUT THEM?! Would you rather ignore the issues for the sake of seeming "unbiased"?
I have put 2 years into this site, it is one of the most credible data sources on the web currently.
