Damn...some people have some chestnuts on them.....

Browsing ebay for current pricing of Q6600 cpus, as I am going to be selling mine in a few days (proven 4.0GHz overclocker on 1.5V.....3.6GHz on 1.35V).


Ran across an advert for an Asus X38 Maximus Formula......and the seller states he's "tested" this motherboard with a host of results pictured.


Unfortunately, the entire test and all his "results" he shows are just linked directly from AT's test of that exact motherboard....every image, text is just cut and pasted.

Some people have just too much gall sometimes......

lulz?

Just report it?

 

[PottedMeat]

Don't reviewers usually watermark/mark their charts to prevent this sort of thing?

Too bad they aren't a members pics though - goatse, 2 for 1 sales, etc.

Could he not just link to the page? What a dork.

He owns a lot of ancient land?

Gaul was the Roman name for the region of Western Europe comprising present day northern Italy, France, Belgium, western Switzerland and the parts of the Netherlands and Germany on the west bank of the River Rhine.

That was actually pretty funny, especially his accurate explanation. +1 for pontifex

Thank you for your assistance grammar officer first class pontflex, this citizen has learned his lesson, I don't think he'll cause more trouble

Where is he saying HE tested it. It's obvious to anyone looking for this kind of thing these are re-printed reviews.

He also mentions being new it should work fine implying it has not been actually tested.

I see no problem except you see this higher tier chip stealing a possible buyer from your own sale and are looking for us to have him shut down.

where is the watermark?

Looks like Anandtech needs some basic hotlinking protection.

I don't see why AT would want that. If anything it will get people checking things out here.

 

[judasmachine]

maybe the seller is also the reviewer?
