If you want a good advice avoid this forum.

If you want a good advice, here is one bever ever look for advice from people who don’t even know what they are talking about. The forum is full of liars who gloat and boast about their knowledge and experience on computers. And every time somethings goes on your pc and you seek advice from that forum you will get a few kinds of people giving you wrong advice. Most of them actually unsure themselves but have the need to boast and gloat so they can feel important, feel smart, feel relevant.These are those type who askyou questions rather then answer your questions. They will reply you with questions, instead of providing you solutions. Question like have you checked the cable are properly plugged in, your ram are properly inserted etc. Basically because they themselves are their own blunder they expect that everyone is like them.Then another type would be those who over exaggerate your problems. These type of people will tell you that your problem is related to ram, processor, gpu, power supply anything with the highest price tag. You can tell that they have no experience whatsoever because everything is about replacing not identifying. They would suggest the craziest idea that static electricity might fried your motherboard.One must know people like these stick together. Like they say birds of a feather flock together. And because they have the support of the forum moderators themselves that is why they can continue todo what they do. Remember a bad advice is worse then the problem itself. Go to google and search through for your motherboard brand forums.

THEY WILL BAN YOU FOR EDITING A POST!!!

They will ban you for adding information to questions. Being new to computers i left crucial information out of my forum question. I had to edited a post twice to add the relevant info about my question and they banned me, calling it spam. It says to contact admin if i feel it was done by mistake, but there is no way to contact them. If i try to open the website it redirects me to the ban notice. None of their team members can be contacted through twitter, and none have replied to emails. All i wanted was to make sure the forum had all the necessary info to help fix my computer. And i cant even see the solutions to the question that got me banned.

Rude and toxic moderators

Just asked a few simple questions about upgrading my pc. Split them in different forums because no one answers a thread after a couple replies. And the moderator straight up just says: "Stop wasting our time with repetitive questions as they already have been answered" (They weren't btw) And he linked some of my other threads which all btw weren't solved, or even answered. Final words trash site ran by rude, arrogant and toxic people.

Toxic people!

That's what I'll say. I never got a straight and direct answer from them.

tom's hardware is EXTREMELY bad.

Hi. I am a hobby YouTuber, and analyst on the side with very very deep insight into modern hardware. I would gladly support and recommend tomshardware, and even their former forums when the site was run with thought and care. However, about 2 years ago (2017) a huge shift in how the site operated became reality.My example, was that their big reviews of products disappeared. For example, almost any and all youtubers make sure to show relative performance between product A, B, C down to X. Toms left this extremely useful format completely and have actively hidden it away so it has become unbelievably hard to find it. AKA propping up horrible products and short selling the best ones.The site design is also extremely bad, and i will also add that you will nearly N.E.V.E.R see amd news hang around regardless of how insanely spicy the news are. But Intel? Processor announced that is objectively the worst deal ever, AND got inferior performance, AND is less secure, AND doesn't have a flexible platform, AND isn't measured up to it's competitor..... Toms hardware is today a worthless site, coming from my most charitable take. But also most objective. Beware, enjoy the youtubers instead. They know how to do a good job!

Absolutely awful forum

Absolutely awful forum, raised a thread for support connecting a monitor to a company laptop and a moderator with a taste for power decided to close my thread based on his view of my corporate IT policy. The strange thing is he doesn't know what company I work for...The moderator was ex_bubbleheadWon't use them again.
