Hardware channel Linus Tech Tips defended itself following a competitor's claims about its 'accuracy, ethics, and responsibility.'

Linus Tech Tips founder Linus Sebastian has admitted to"sloppiness" in the hardware review channel's handling of controversy that erupted over its recent review of a high-end watercooling system, but says what really bothers him about the situation is"how quickly the pitchforks were raised."in which Sebastian and an assistant put together a watercooled PC using Billet Labs' Monoblock, a system designed to cool both the CPU and GPU simultaneously.

Although he cops to some general sloppiness, Sebastian also defended LTT's commitment to, and record of, getting it right—including in the case of the Monoblock cooler. The problem wasn't in the"accuracy" of the review, he wrote, but in the handling of the reaction to it, including his refusal to re-test the cooler using the video card it was actually designed for, even when some other members of the LTT team advocated for doing so.

That didn't make much of an impression on Burke, who argued in a follow-up video posted today that Sebastian's response was"inaccurate."while suggesting that it holds LTT in somewhat lesser regard. Billet Labs also said that it will not"mourn our missing block," and is now working on developing another one:"Yes it sucks that the prototype has gone, it's slowed us but has absolutely not stopped us. We have pre-orders for it, and plan to push ahead with our first production run as soon as we can."
