Deepcool Assassin III False Advertising, Heatpipe Dissection, & Statement

[Kenrou]

TLDR: "Deepcool's GamerStorm Assassin III CPU cooler marketed itself heavily -- and still does -- based on grooved-sintered heatpipes. We found out that that's a lie." - "Cutting things open can answer a lot of questions and it's not uncommon for us to find poor design after dissecting a product, but one thing we didn't expect was that a company would flat-out lie about its heatpipe internals. At time of publication, Deepcool is still actively marketing its grooved-sintered heatpipes on twitter and on some retail pages, but a dremel proved that they're just sintered. Ultimately, this doesn't affect the validity of already-valid test results, assuming results were valid to begin with (and a lot aren't), but it does affect the trustworthiness of Deepcool and its brand credibility."
