His name is the name of his company. Straight pimpin. I wonder whose name made google.

These are the articles that make Tom's special IMO

@ Tom's...I'd love to see more of these manuf/vendor tours en leu of filler reposts. A tour of EVGA one month, Sapphire the next/etc...

Cool. I wondered how they cranked them out fast. Seems like when a new GPU/top end MB comes out, they have a block in no time. I thought they had their own CNC setup to do it that fast.

That's pretty cool! I always wondered how manufactuers made custom blocks.

Thumbs up this was awesome

This is such a great read! Very interesting and very informative of why these parts are rather expensive compared to other hardware.

Is this supposed to make you feel better about all the product quality/recall issues?

"After spending just over a day talking to the employees and figuring out how everything works, it became clear to me why nobody was nervous about my presence -- they had nothing to hide."
A sign of a great company.

Thanks for the lovely article Niels, I really enjoyed reading it and seeing the pictures. I agree with @toddybody, these articles add to the special feeling of Tom's Hardware. Keep them coming! :-D

Great tour. I'd like to see more of these tours at some of the top component manufacturers.

 

[Shankovich]

Awesome, looks like they were genuinely happy to have you guys there! Going to do my first custom loop this year, can't wait now

 

[Shankovich]

Also, it would be really nice if they got at least 1 CNC Milling machine in house. I know they're expensive. We have one in our lab at my university and it's a miracle time saver for engineering prototyping.

Have an EK Supremacy EVO block for my 5960x and an EK Supremacy MX for my 4790k. OUTSTANDING blocks. I also have 2 EK R9 290 blocks for my R9 290s and an EK block for my GTX980TI. Again super gpu blocks.

Out of interest, what kind of working conditions were you expecting to find in a progressive central European country?
