Btw, im pretty sure Andre gets EVGA boards to play with.

Also, i really like the idea of this because there isnt enough transparency when it comes to reviews. I know for a fact that some people get paid for reviews through advertising revenue.

Nope he buys all his boards retail (including the E762 he is benching gulftown on) so that people cant complain about "ES mobo" as he put it.

How can he buy a board retail when i've seen him benching unreleased EVGA boards? Im not saying that all of his stuff is given to him, but saying he buys all his boards retail has to be an exaggeration.

That was kingpins stuff. Vince gets prerelease since hes the official eVGA extreme bencher. Him and andre share the same lab (aka the deep freeze) so he uses Vince mobos too. But is own he buys, with the exception of some asus boards asI said

Gotcha. Well, Andre knews his stuff. Thats for shizzle. I'd just hate to have to pay for all that expensive hardware.
