I see the reason for the banning, but I don't think Andre Yang is a cheater as much as those that got the scores from him. He's probably the most hardcore out there. He buys crap loads of chips and test them and uses alot of non sponsored hardware. Out of the leader board on HWbot I remember someone saying, he spends as much as the whole top ten combined.
Andre Yang is still a skilled overclocker, when guys like shamino, george and vince respect him, he's completely legit. But the people that used his scores are definitely cheaters and didn't deserve to be in the place they were on the leader board.
This is way different than OPB who just wanted the fame and the free hardware associated with it. Andre already had the skills and the fame and the free hardware. This type of cheating didn't get him more hardware or more money or more fame. In a way, he was just giving his stuff to other people. He was giving others his work and letting them use it. Its sad and pathetic on both parts, but for some reason, from what George's has said because he met the guy, I think Andre is a very lonely man, who wanted some attention using the wrong ways.
Out of everyone, I think he's the most hardcore in regards to overclocking.
