Thirdly, he dismisses the price vs performance comparison by telling people to "shut the hell up and go have a drink. " :roll:
kyle pretty much is an idiot.
When I was in college I contacted him once to try to sell some agilent arcticoolers (I knew a source that could get them for me for $12 each in qty).
So I go, kyle do you know any stores who would want this for say $20 because most distrbutors charge $30.
Anyhow he writes back a scathing email about how I am not helping the overclocking "community" by selling them at cost. I replied and asked him how much profit he was making on those "ratpadz" and the site he ran. He never responded.
Basically this guy is a guy who just makes up his mind first, and then if you come up with an actual logical reasoning as to why he is wrong he will just ignore you or say something stupid like the above mentioned "go have a drink" if you cant afford $800 more for a cpu...
I remember I also once posted on hardforums that some BFG motherboard was actually an OEM chaintech nforce4 board and that most reviews of the chaintech were mediocre and he was pumping up the BFG board even though it cost 50% more. Most of the hard forums people agreed.
Anyhow kyle comes up with some response that made no sense of course. Then locks the thread. I'm assuming he was the type of child who threw tantrums. maybe like this kid

I cannot believe that site has such a following, with him running it and the obvious favoritism he gives to his advertisers (BFG is still a huge advertiser of theirs, and they are ridiculously pro intel compared to basically every other site on the internet)
