Lots of drama over Igor's labs review of the new alpha cool fans. Igor's lab has been a bit sus for some time now, especially with how they gave out nonsense conclusions when it came to 4090s and the melting of connectors as they were never able to replicate the faults by themselves but rather gave theories as to the issues. But this drama is much worse. Not only was their fan testing bad and had wildly different results compared to every other reviewer where Noctua NF-A12x25 was generally superior, but the testing in itself made zero sense as there was more airflow with 60mm radiator vs 25mm radiator. After getting criticized, they doubled down on it and made reaction video which made things a lot worse. While this wasn't Igor himself but rather one of his employees, his handling was also bad.

What I don't get is that we already had this issue where Linus himself and a few of his staff ended up doing roughly the same, then doubling down on it. Are these tech review companies getting paid to be intentionally misleading with their tests?, because a few shitty employees willingly mucking around with what really should be the objective test result, have nothing to gain but scorn and ire.

Yet these ppl keep doubling down, especially when they are wrong, and what exactly do they think that will get them?. I'm genuinely curious as hell to know why this is ultra specifically becoming a thing in recent years with these techies, and whatever it is they could possibly gain by fucking around and not giving us the actual results that everyone else is getting (unless the company providing them the tech paid them to talk praise, or less of a slant?). 

Yea pretty much. It feels like retarded amounts of hubris just because they have access to things that regular folks do not. It's a very easy way to kill credibility and while Linus is too big and would need multiple cuckups to have impact, Igors lab is no where near as big so they need to get their shat together.
