I can verify, there was absolutely no poop in the setup, it was 100% turd free.
There was some ghetto stuff that was setup, but shit, you show me one setup that is somewhat controlled that DOESNT look ghetto??? Sorry Stevie, I don’t have 1,000,000$ to build a lab with a laminar flow air system, and stainless steel everything. That test rig is outdated by today’s standards that are being pushed by a few folks around the web ( JoeC, BillA, and our own pH), but if that setup is outdated and not valid today... what’s that say about the half assed setup Steve ran with NO accurate temp gathering tools any where on the machine? No controlled flow tests, and No accurate power stats for that lil PSU. Steve making fun of other peoples test setup is like a fat chick making fun of the beautiful people.
Steve's comments are funny at least. He seems to have mistaken comments that were meant to point out weaknesses in a review as personal insults. Someone who is in the same position as him should be able to see whats a personal rip or a rip on his work. You can see by the earlier post that I was not down on him as much as I am down on the lack of progression in the testing methods he used. He in turn responded with personal insults about me, the site, and others. Nice.
My second and third post in the thread that got axed were not even about Steve but about another hardocp minion who made the first attack on the site I happen to run.
In all honesty, before I read the article I was hoping that Steve/Kyle would start to do some better and more detailed reviews. I enjoy reading well done articles/reviews a lot. I have never said I was an expert in this field, I have maintained I am just an enthusiast who digs thermodynamics. Reading other sites and high end articles helps me learn more about the technology. When I heard about the Water block Roundup I went there ASAP to read it and see what kind of review this was. if the review was good, I would have posted that, if the review was crap ... well I just call em as I see em. I mean... that review (except for the products) could have been done 2 years ago and it would have been base line then for testing standards!.
The comments about speed of articles and reviews being posted is a moot point. Since I refuse to do a review if its not done to the best of my ability at the given time. I don’t pump out reviews just to give them a "top pick" icon or 9/10 rating as most sites do. We are slow at posting stuff, that’s no secret and is one of the biggest bitches the readers and myself have with the site... sucks but some of us work for a living, or do school. Also there are always a fair number of articles and reviews that are turned away by me. If it isn’t of quality it isn’t posted.
I am stranded here at work, so I thought I would post that while I wait for this Dell tech to finish fixing this damn Poweredge 6600 that died today.
I will finish the post with this, I think it’s accurate for how Steve must view watercooling stuff other sites do:
"We fear what we do not understand"
