The implication of your post is quite clear that you suggested it was similar to the H60. Unfortunately, it does not say you have no clue what you are talking about, and the OP took what you said as an informed statement instead of you just speaking out of your buttcheeks.
Really, it's quite unfair to Zalman what you did. The guys over there are pretty damn committed. That's the real problem.
If blazorman is anything like that other forum poster, then he constantly on things he has no clue about.
Factually, all I am saying is that if you are indeed like that other forum poster, and I am in no way saying you are, but if you are like him, you are clueless. It's pretty clear the implication is that you are like him from the statement, why else would I draw the comparison.
It's like when people say "Well Tommy thinks your butt-ugly". It's not a nice thing to say.
It's funny that you don't go to any length to clear up the misleading things you've said, or going to any length to talk about how the LQ320 is an amazing cooler. You dance around semantics when the message you sent was obvious.
What do you think the OP would have done if he listened to you? Made the correct decision of getting the amazing LQ320 for only $39, which is the best deal on a heatsink this year so far, or bought some overpriced piece of garbage like you probably did?
All I said was similar between the two coolers was price. In no way does that imply the performance is similar. I said that I didn't know how it performed and simply linked to to the H60 by price and that it'd have to be better than the H60 to be worth having. That isn't unfair to Zalman, so you can stop with that bullshit. I did not imply nor state that the H60 and the LQ320 are similarly performing. IDK how you can possibly compare my post to an insult when it was not in the least little bit an insult. The real problem here is how you totally misunderstood what I said and frankly, what I said was not complex, so I fail to see how you could possibly interpret it in any way other than exactly what it is.
Nothing that I said was misleading, so there's nothing to clear up.
Whether or not the LQ320 is a great cooler has been undisputed and I've already said that I don't have any experience with it, so me endorsing it outright beyond not doubting you would be blatantly stupid. To expect any more of me when I have not seen it myself is ridiculous, to say the least.
What OP should have done if OP listened to me is not make any decision on it without more information. OP isn't stupid as far as I can tell and I don't see how anyone who isn't stupid wold assume that I was saying not to get it based on what I said. I said that if it is anything like the H60, it wouldn't be worth getting. That in no way implies that it is anything like the H60. Quite the opposite, if you pay attention to the words instead of trying to get some messed up ulterior motive out of them.
Nothing that I've bought in coolers nor any other component is overpriced. I never buy something unless I am sure that it is the best for the job at the best price for what the job requires or unless I am checking it out to find out if it will do the job better or do the job as well and more cheaply than my current choice. I build and sell computers to dozens of clients, so I have to be sure of everything or else I get to deal with profit-hurting returns.
If you really want to talk about fairness, then how is it fair that you are acting as if I said things which I did not say? You attack me with words and implications that I did not use nor give. What you are doing is the very definition of a straw-man argument- to attack a misrepresentation of another's position. You can try all you want, but you can't discredit me by attacking things that are not my own claims, but your own misinterpretations of what I said. I didn't send any message other than that the LQ320 would need to be much better than a water cooler that is going for a similar price in order for it to be worth upgrading to. OP can join in if OP wants to too- I don't care. That doesn't make you any more right nor me any more wrong. What I said was 100% correct regardless of the Zalman LQ320's performance, so you can attack it all you want, but how good or how bad the LQ320 does doesn't impact what I said, it only impacts the logical result of my logic. Since I never made claims about what that result was, you can't even attack that result nor use it to attack me.
That is also a part of why I didn't rant about how good the LQ320 is at this point- not only have you already established it, but it has no impact on this argument. If you really think that what I said is unfair to Zalman, then go ahead and link this to them and ask them about it. I've respected Zalman for making some of the best and most innovative products in every category that they're in (especially some of their recent cases which have already been in more than fifteen of my client's builds with no complaints at all), so you can have any opinion of what you think that I think of them that you will. It has no impact on my real opinion of them, which is about as high as it can possibly get for a technology company.
Regardless, this has gone on too long already. I won't be responding nor even reading any more responses in this thread, it has been hijacked too much as is for your personal attacks and my reactions to them.
