Recently, there have been too many irrelevant threads in HWC. As such, there will be a slightly stricter guideline to creating threads.
Please post in the appropriate forums.
- Laptop, netbook, notebook-related (including RAMs, recovery disks, drivers) ---> Notebook Clinic
- Monitors (excluding GPU-related) --> The Monitor Channel
- Routers, modems, network, Internet-related (including drivers) ---> Internet Bandwidth & Networking Clinic
- CD writers, DVD writers, Combo drives, Blu-ray drives-related ---> Optical Storage Clinic
- Hard disks, SSDs, RAID setups and configurations, removable storage media -related ---> The Storage Clinic
- OS-related (excluding benchmarks and DirectX) ---> Software Clinic
So what qualifies under Hardware Clinic?
Hardware and technical-related issues. Popular topics include overclocking, include product/chipset discussion, computer set-up, configuration and tweaking. Products include motherboards, processors, graphic cards, desktop memory, power supplies, casing, fans, watercooling units, CPU coolers, sound cards, etc.
For everything else, look through the forums on this
page. Do not give the reason "Here got more traffic" for posting in the wrong forums.
Irrelevant threads/posts will be moved/deleted without prior notice. Repeat offenders may receive infractions.
The moderators will not be too strict with this but it will be enforced as time goes. Do not mistake leniency for weakness. We seek your co-operation in making HWZ the best technical forum.
Update: Reviews of certain products will remain in HWC for a few days before being moved to the appropriate forums.
It must be a formal review, not a "hoot" thread.
