Billet has confirmed that they sent a 3090Ti that LMG has been sitting on for 9 weeks now without using or returning.
How is it even possible to use the wrong GPU when the correct one is in the same box. That makes it seem malicious rather than foolish.
I might be spreading misinformation but I've seen it mentioned by multiple sources so I'll take a lesson from LTT, Linus invests in a company that makes gpu waterblocks.
Maybe the reason that it turned up again recently was because they saw everything catch fire, panicked, and put it back?
Either that, or LMG's logistics just put it in a general GPU pile without putting it with the cooler, so when they couldn't find it with the cooler, it was assumed lost.
They would have never done this to a larger manufacturer, but since the prototype was a passion project by two tech enthusiasts they simply did not care at all. It's frankly disgusting.
