Ironically enough, this whole debacle with Billet Labs probably is better advertising than a proper review ever would have been. (sh.itjust.works)

The shitstorm of a fallout has pushed the community behind Billet Labs more than they ever would have gotten had they just gotten reviewed properly. It may have sucked what had happened but I think they will be better off in the long term now that people are aggressively supportive of them. Funny twist of fate in my opinion.

I may be wrong ~~but didn't LMG put it in their tormach to shave off THERMAL MASS such that the block didn't interfere with RAM?~~

~~They knowingly destroyed a prototype in the video. Off course Billet has to cut their losses with this shit.~~

Edit: I was wrong. See comment below. That happens when you watch a video on second screen :)

I just rewatched to see (wanted a refresher on just how badly they trashed Billet): they machined down the heatsink from the motherboard to make clearance to the Billet Labs block. They didn't modify the block itself.
