The video it was featured in wasn’t even a review, the premise was someone who has zero experience in water cooling trying to install it

So sick of this shit. Reviewing something and then hiding behind "it's not a review bro!" You know damn well the criticisms extended beyond just that. Linus straight up just said it was a bad product outright. THAT'S A REVIEW.

He didn't say it was a bad product in anywhere in the video. Maybe you should watch the thing you are trying to criticize.

The original video is clearly a review and he clearly criticizes the product for being hard to install even though he is of course installing it incorrectly and not using the materials the company provided. He states unequivocally it's a bad product here: "It's a bad product. It's bad because it makes absolutely no sense and nobody should buy it".

While not saying out right that it is bad, he is certainly implying it and clearly telling his audience that they should not buy it.

At 32:42 of the video of the original report.
