well, the only question i'd like to see answered is where you saw 90 retail conroes overclocking badly whereas everyone else has basically seen 2-3 x6800 from a few stores that basically have sent a few out earlier than they should have, its one or two stores worldwide last i saw, who both had like 4-5 in each.
all bought very overpriced and, honestly, a lot of guys that will want to pay way more to get the best chip early are often the guys that aren't very good/knowledgable and just want to be the first so someone cares about the thread they make on xs.

Has Drazic ever actually posted a SuperPi time for his setup?
I only ask as his sig is now claiming 'Uk's fastest PC'.
I'd like to know by what yardstick he claims that and any validated benchmark or a CPUz screenie would be acceptable.
I don't think that's unreasonable.

Pete. why do you never post the scores yourself.
Boardy is the guy making all the overclocks not you. This is why you arent respected.
its a "oh i have all the stuff, just my mate is using it" phrases that make it hard to believe its your stuff.
JUST GET ON CLOCK YOUR DAMN CHIPS.
dont let other people take the credit for what essentially you say is your hardware???

Yeah I can't get my head around that either. Here you have one of the hottest CPUs of all time and what do you choose to do with it? Give it to your mate? If that was mine, you can bloody well be sure that I'd be sleeping with the damn thing let alone giving it away to some Harry, Dick or Tom!
(Ok, I wouldn't sleep with it but you get the point)
lol(Hopefully the mods won't nuke this thread because this info needs to be in the public domain so others don't get fooled or their time wasted by this person).
I received this in PM from Pete aka Drazic back on the 23rd May on the XS forums, when I and several other people enquired about Conroes he was claiming to have available for sale. Obviously at the time I didn't know his reputation so took what he said at face value. It soon became obvious once he started moaning about receiving too many PMs that he was just an attention seeker.
Notice the comment about having "ES and Retail" CPUs - this was before anyone had even posted on XS showing the last ES stepping (B1), let alone retail. There are a lot of people on the XS board that have got very tight contacts with the likes of Intel, AMD, ATI and NVidia, that much is obvious just by reading what they say (and don't say/aren't allowed to say) - and this bloke is definitely not one of those people.
All utter, utter drivel.

I agree, this thread needs to stay, and the mods need to keep a close eye on this guy if not for more serious potential problems (like the conroe selling thread on XS), for simply being a disrespectful pest and a troll.

Regardless of the integrity of the person should people be verbally attacking the guy? I think not and the forum rules also state
[ No swearing, posting of "adult" material, personal attacks or "trolling" }
Keep it civil please
