This shit.

The TX and HX series are completely absent.

They bash all the units that don't meet 80Plus certification, even though most are within one or two %, completely within the margin of error of the testing environment.

They don't provide any information about the number, length or modularity of the cables of the units in a graph.

They don't even test for transient loading, and that kind of thing.

At the end of it all the X-750 and AX850 don't get a recommendation, because their hold-up time is <17ms.

Epic Phail (yes, with a P).
 
Once they started spamming me with 10 popups in every story, I quit going back. Interesting to see the downward spiral continues.
 
There are roughly 2-3 different websites that post reliable Power Supply reviews; Tomshardware is not one of those, not even a 3rd step cousin twice removed.
 
Dunno what's up with their AX850 sample, not meeting Gold levels. But then again I don't trust THG, i don't read THG and I don't care about THG.
 
I remember when that site was kinda sorta worth a damn....if you were an Intel fan anyways :p

Now I rarely go there. For PSU reviews, Jonnyguru all the way! The problem is, they only review top of the line units, as most of the manufacturers are scared of the hot box, and know their cheap shit won't pass.

Same situation with me. At first I admired their website, however I "despise" it to some extent for its obnoxious advertisements, and slander.
 
yup Toms hardware sucks. Ever tried asking for advice on the Forums. you have to wait days for a reply & most of the time the answers are horrible. I swear the users on that site should not be giving advice.

Yeah, for the most part that is true. There is the occasional gutless wonder, but in those cases they are paid out of the reviewers own pocket. Though sometimes a manufacturer sends in their unit and it fails miserably. What an embarrassment that must be.
