“My PC would not function at all without tomshardware”

The forums on this site are overflowing with advice. So many users on the site form a tight community. With many minds come an equal number of options, but I personally like how many different opinions and pieces of advice that are out there because it helps to form my own opinion by testing others ideas and coming to my own conclusions. There are a bunch of great guides on the site concerning water cooling, over clocking, parts selection and more.

Terrible financially motivated reviews. Do not trust them. The same boring topics over and over again with a focus on cheap garbage, such as low-end 3D printers, that is not helpful. A complete waste of time.

I've always used this site to check out any new products I'm looking to buy. I think the articles are well written and very in depth and would recommend it to any tech savvy consumer looking for good reviews :)

I LOVE Tom's Hardware... Tom's Hardware's Laptops are just like as Honda's are to cars! Long lasting, dependable, and hold their resell value extremely good!

Not sure about their reviews but their blog articles are clueless trash. When titles are wildly inaccurate and damaging to eco-friendly efforts, I have to recommend completely avoiding this source; there's no ethical alternative.

They came to harass me in my thread about PSU cables with spam comments that "I don't post pictures" when I posted the manuals which has pictures... and most importantly specifications

And, deleted another thread lying I got another like it. The 2nd thread was about case cables, and the forum got 2 separate subforums for cases and PSUs. The threads were completely different

When I asked that the abusive moder who deleted my post be de-moded, and reported the other 2 mods for harassment, another psychopath mod banned me again lying about me, doing me an insult

These aren't moderators at all, they're psychopaths getting pleasure from abusing other people.

Finally, I didn't get valuable information on the forum anyway, so I can say I am safely against this tomshardware.com community for the rest of my life, just as I am against every company who ever did me any intentional injustice

Whoever stand for justice, stand against tomshardware.com psychopaths from now on

P.S. It just struck me that they deleted my post (and harassed me) because I bought a Chinese computer case (and probably other international hardware indiscriminately), and these are Americans, or pro-Americans. This means tomshardware.com is biased

I've always known about tom's hardware, lurked around here and there but never asked questions until now. And the community answered my questions relatively promptly and were very friendly and informative. I would personally recommend this site for anyone who needs help with anything computer related. :)

Tom's Hardware has shifted from providing honest reviews and comparisons of hardware to pushing Nvidia's latest line of GPUs when they themselves haven't even benchmarked or tested them yet. When a company tells you they recommend you buy a product when they themselves couldn't have possibly tested it, you know that they cannot be a solid reference point. I would avoid this website at all causes. It'll never be able to restore confidence in their brand.

It's one of the finest websites to use for anything hardware related. They at all times have the most up to date on new on hardware that's getting ready to come out. They post great reviews on the hardware as well. When I go to look for new PC equipment I trust using toms hardware.

They have lots of newly released products so if you want to buy something and have a large catalogue to pick from they are the best choice. I bought myself a computer case and it arrived intact and faster than expected. Top services!
