I've created this topic to list AMD/Nvidia GPU manufacturers that you should buy from if you are the type of person who wants to remove the heatsink to clean it or replace the heatsink with a liquid cooling waterblock
Also inside this topic is the list of AMD/Nvidia GPU manufacturers that you should avoid for the same reason as above

Post reserved for something else in the future

Oh yeah, forgot about Palit
Will check with them too later
Depends on the type of heatsink & how dirty it is
If it needs a wash, I'll wash it too, just have to remove the fan first

EVGA still alive in Malaysia?

Just checked in Lazada/Shopee, not a lot of sellers is selling EVGA graphic cards nowadays
Nevertheless, I've PM'ed them in Facebook, will post their reply in here once I got their answers

On a different note, I really wish some famous Malaysian YouTubers would bring this issue to public so lots more people will be aware about this and force the manufacturers to change their mind on allowing their customers to do whatever the hell they want with the product that they bought as long as there is no physical damage / water damage to it

What's imbalance about this?

1. Can you please not quote the whole post? At least remove the images so your quote won't be too long
2. Why the judgement? I did say this list is about manufacturers who allow their users to remove the heatsink to clean it and replace it with liquid cooling waterblock

Will do it when I have some free time

Update:
