Billet Labs decided that they don't want it back and just want the compensation instead. They started to make a new prototype as it is likely faster than them getting back the original if at all. Can't say I blame them.
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.
Thank you. Thats what I get when I watch videos on a second screen :)
Where did you read that Billet Labs didn't want the block back?
Billet Labs made a post on reddit and in that post had a comment update saying this. They mentioned they already had started making a new prototype as they can't guarantee that it would still be in usable condition as well as some other reasons.
