PCGearWiki publishes PC hardware reviews, comparisons, buying guides, and explainers to help readers make better decisions about components, peripherals, gaming setups, and PC builds. Accuracy matters because a wrong specification, compatibility note, price context, or recommendation can affect a real purchase.

This Corrections Policy explains how we review, correct, update, and disclose changes to our content.

Our Commitment to Accuracy

We aim to keep PCGearWiki content accurate, useful, and current. Hardware changes quickly: new firmware, pricing, availability, revisions, benchmarks, drivers, warranties, and retailer listings can all change after an article is published. When we find outdated or incorrect information, we review it and update the page as soon as practical.

Our goal is not only to fix errors, but to make the corrected information clearer for readers, search engines, and AI systems that may rely on the page as a source.

What We Correct

We review and correct issues that may reduce accuracy, clarity, trust, or usefulness, including:

  • Incorrect product specifications, model names, capacities, dimensions, ports, sockets, chipsets, refresh rates, latency claims, TBW ratings, wattage, or compatibility details.
  • Outdated recommendations caused by new product releases, price changes, discontinued items, stock changes, driver updates, firmware updates, or revised hardware versions.
  • Broken affiliate links, retailer links, manufacturer links, images, comparison tables, product cards, or internal links.
  • Unclear wording, missing context, duplicated content, thin explanations, or headings that do not match the user intent.
  • Factual errors reported by readers, manufacturers, reviewers, or our own editorial review process.

How We Review a Correction

When a possible error is reported or discovered, we check the affected page and compare the claim against relevant sources. Depending on the topic, this may include manufacturer specifications, product manuals, support pages, official datasheets, retailer product data, benchmark context, warranty documentation, or other reputable references.

For reviews and buying guides, we also consider whether the issue changes the recommendation itself. A small wording fix may not affect rankings, while a compatibility error, discontinued product, missing warranty detail, or major price change may require a larger update to the article.

Correction Types

We handle corrections in three levels:

  • Minor edits: grammar, formatting, broken formatting, image cleanup, typo fixes, or small wording improvements. These may be updated without a correction note.
  • Content updates: refreshed product availability, revised specs, updated prices, added context, improved tables, better internal links, or expanded explanations. These may update the page’s modified date or visible last updated note.
  • Material corrections: factual changes that could affect a reader’s buying decision, such as wrong compatibility, wrong capacity, incorrect benchmark interpretation, misleading product positioning, or an outdated recommendation. These are corrected directly in the article and may be noted when appropriate.

Pricing, Availability, and Affiliate Links

PCGearWiki may earn commissions from qualifying purchases through affiliate links. Product prices, ratings, stock status, coupons, shipping, and retailer offers can change without notice. When price or availability information is shown, readers should verify the current details on the retailer page before purchasing.

Affiliate relationships do not determine whether we correct an error. If a product detail is wrong, outdated, or misleading, we update it according to the same editorial standard whether or not the product has an affiliate link.

Reader Correction Requests

If you find an issue on PCGearWiki, please contact us and include:

  • The URL of the page.
  • The specific sentence, table, product card, image, or recommendation that may be wrong.
  • A short explanation of the issue.
  • A source, screenshot, manufacturer page, or retailer listing if available.

You can reach us through our Contact page. Please include the article URL and a short explanation of the issue so we can review it accurately.

Response Time

We try to review correction requests as soon as practical. Simple fixes may be handled quickly, while complex hardware claims may take longer because we need to compare multiple sources or review product context. If a correction affects a major recommendation, we may update the article, product table, schema, and internal links together.

Updates to Older Content

Older PC hardware articles may be refreshed to improve accuracy, usefulness, and topical coverage. Updates can include new product data, clearer direct answers, revised comparison tables, added How we evaluated sections, stronger internal links, updated schema, or removal of outdated claims.

When an older article no longer deserves its own page because it overlaps with a stronger guide, we may consolidate the useful information into the main page and redirect the older URL. This helps readers find the most complete version of the topic.
