So I stumbled upon this article from TweakTown in XS forums TweakTown’s Guide To Water Cooling Made Easy :: TweakTown After finished reading it, I was wondering if TweakTown actually did this just for teh LULZ Recommending this Thermaltake watercooling kit is already a big FAIL, but wait, there's more Highlights: Most epic TIM spread FAIL ever OMGWTFFFFFFFFFFF? Seriously, what were they thinking? and what the hell is their editor doing? I'm not a frequent reader of TweakTown, but since when did TweakTown's standard bottomed to this extend Luckily they still managed to recommend the right software for thermal testing
Lawl, never heard of shorting the green and black wires. I stopped reading Tweaktown a few years ago, can't really remember why
Did nobody see the 1337 TIM application? Enlarged Image :: TweakTown CLOSEUP! Enlarged Image :: TweakTown GPU! Enlarged Image :: TweakTown And I love the kleenex work. It is awesome because if there is a leak, by the time you find out, it would already be gushing...
Ahh they don't allow image hotlinking, didn't realize the picture didn't show up in the 1st post Too busy LMFAO FAIL Spread TIM all over the socket! It helps heat transfer
Were they ever high standard to begin with? Now I understand what you meant. They think they are applying butter on bread!
No, they don't, but I never expected them to come up with such an article The reviewer doesn't even know to use the word "heatsink"
It's unsurprising, since they post a few articles a day! Not even AT or Tech Report are able to post that much. I don't really understand. If you use the right fittings and tubing, clamp it properly, it shouldn't leak.
Holy crap! I don't remember tweaktown being that bad! Maybe someone shot their editor and assumed his identity?
Bare in mind most non-techie people I know apply thermal paste just like that and even worse. A friend of mine had an overheating CPU problem. When I took of the heatsink there was a truckload of goop oozing all over the place... he'd used 3/4 of the tube (regular silicon based paste).
