But preventing is only that, expect it to wear through sooner or later.
Here they still show the copper base:

AND then on their OTHER site:

They had an e design for a while aswell and I am not going to get into how they came up with that.

I have the newest version, it does however have a copper base it is just like coated in silver stuff. I know this because I had to lap to make it 100% flat. I just want it to work for me for like 5 or 6 months as I have just recently dumped several benjis ($100's) into upgrades and I can't let go of another $50 for 1C or 2C.
As for HardOCP, hell yeah I wan't you to tell me if they are full of it. I am not a website guru and if they are full of it I want to know so that I can stop reading their reviews. I can't possible try every item out there so I rely on reviews to help guide me into the top 5 or so and then make my decision based on...hell I don't know, depends, the bottom line is if they are full of it I want to know.
When they let ATI have it for cheating on benchmarks I was really impressed as that to me is like saying, yeah we need your free stuff but **** it and **** you we won't back you cheatin asses.
