Asus copies 2oz copper PCB idea from Gigabyte?

I was really ROTFL when I saw this:

It seems Asus starts with double copper PCB, which they copied directly from Gigabyte (!!!), while a few months ago they were so much against this idea, I still remember accusations from Asrock

This certainly is interesting. Let all the lawsuits and word battles commence. And yeah even ASRock still has their video on their Youtube channel claiming how it doesn't work.

Honestly though, whether or not because it is due to one's case cooling which would obviously help a whole lot, I am edging more towards the fact that Gigabyte's 2oz Copper PCB does actually work, since my GA-EP45-UD3R motherboard tends to run pretty cool and within decent temperature limits even when it is on heavy load.

Bring on 4oz Gigabyte! XD
Let the battle commence.

i love when the guys from gigabyte come to the ocuk tech department

they tell me about this 2oz of copper loads

their boards are good - i dont care if they are made from 2oz of pubic hair as long as they clock well
