Honestly, I feel like this is a stupid battle. I literally throw away spare pennies on a weekly basis... how bad am I "polluting the planet?" I carve off the paper of all my plastics with a razor before recycling them... takes hours sometimes...

Grow up, ASUS... I've used your MOBO's for years and I'll use them forever, but if you start a BS campaign... that's beyond me...

This seems like BS

So those claims from Anandtech and Tom's about that extra copper are placebo or something to that effect?
