The ID Cooling IS-55 is the newest low profile cooler and an update to the best low profile cooler from our last roundup. It turns out they listened to feedback and updated everything including a backplate installation, better performance and more....but there's still some some areas of concern.

Yup...whatever gets attention/clicks.
Yeah, I know that's the argument HWC has made in the past. I know I personally won't click on crappy clickbait titles out of spite, but I'm probably in the minority.

Shame, I used to watch every HWC vid, and now I probably haven't in a couple years, the channel has really leaned into clickbait and feels more 'Linus-y' than 'professional content' and I very much prefer the latter.

Sadly, I think many places have to go this route, or be deemed irrelevant. Much like how Sears failed to capitalize on the changing purchasing ways of consumers and decayed to oblivion. These titles go the same route.

I have many more thoughts about this, click below, #9 will Shock you!

At least this video has Mike (my personal favorite of the HWC crew on YT)...I cannot stand boot sequence.
I just won't outright watch Boot Sequence. It's awful.

Maybe, though I wonder if this is the case of a feedback loop where 'clickbait gets hits' is only partially accurate because 'clickbait' is the only thing their using.

Like a car manufacturer saying 'Our best sellers always have a touchscreen' and it's because they only sell vehicles with a touchscreen.....

If you talk to content creators they'll tell you straight up they hate it too, but YouTube's algorithms will literally suppress you if you don't 'play the game'. So, they're forced to do this crap...
