Which Tech Companies Don't You Trust?

[NARAKU_KAT]

1.- Zotac- looks terrible

2.- AsRock- it's just too cheap for being good

3.- Huawei- ...because

4.- Vorago- again...because

5.- LG- i pretty much don't trust them but for dvd-burners, but for LED and other electronics, don't even think to pick one of those

6.- Adata- that just doesn't look like trusty

7.- Benq- i've never wanted to buy any of their products

Rosewill and RAIDMAX. Nothing I've bought from either of them lasted longer than 6 months.

Well the noise was absolutely unbearable on auto when the card got hot.  Fans on auto which was about 60% on full load the card was sitting around 85-90C.

the noise was absolutely unbearable huh? I just set mine for 60% fan usage whale It mines, it got toasty but I couldn't hear the card at all. you must have gotten a bad fan or something because mine is damn near silent at 60%, not to mention when I set the fan speeds with CCC the highest I can get them to go is 47%, I smell something here...

 

so tell me, how did you get your fans to 60% without the use of a custom fan curve via third party program like afterburner?

Asus - low reliability and RMAs are terrible.

[Joshua Ondangan]

Maxtor sucks balls (I'm believe they are gone now).

 

thermaltake, hec, aerocool, huntkey psu = garbage.

 

aerocool case = garbage.

 

razer = pretty much all besides the mouse pad I liked them (the cloth ones)

[SkullAbyss]

Time Warner and Comcast

[the21robot]

EA (if they count) #DelaysForPc "Quality is our number one concern"

[LolNope]

OCZ, Raidmax, PNY except for flash drives, maybe ASRock

[MuffinTopMike]

ASRock and Razer

[Askew]

Nvidia and AMD.

[tS_kStin]

Gigabyte and ASRock, every one of their components I've use has been faulty in some way.

Thats really odd, I built an itx build with an asrock mobo and I have a Gigabyte in my main right now and they both work great and the Gigabyte OC's really well.

[Sonefiler]

Logisys. I bought their $15 PSU and it broke ((((((

In all seriousness: Dice. HIS. Acer. Gigabyte. ASUS. EA. MSi. Corsair's mice. Fox.

[Brandonsr]

I don't really distrust any tech company. I review each product as it's own and do a bunch on research, and determine whether or not I trust it. 

[Mooshi]

What do you get when you combine all our distrusted brands into 1?

 

A crappy prebuilt "gaming" rig with questionable reliability.

[chimmychunger]

Courser for headsets i got the vengance 2000 and they broke within the first 2 months

[Anthony10]

Raidmax, PNY, Zotac

I trust Zalman, but boy do I hate them, mostly my fault for buying one of their cases though..

[Bluethulhu]

Samsung - cheap phones and astoundingly awful marketing, their SSDs are OK though

Monster - absurdly overpriced and taking advantage of people who don't know better

Razer - cheap and shoddy except for a very select few products (DeathAdder + mousepads are decent)

HP - so many broken HP laptops, so much bloatware, their printers should be launched into the sun

Comcast/TWC/Verizon/AT&T/etc - I could write an entire series of novels about why they're all the spawn of Satan, I think most people already can guess why they are on here...

PayPal/eBay - gives sellers a terrible experience, absolutely terrible business practice

Adobe - I don't trust them with any of my personal info, and they charge absurd amounts for their software

Dell - I like their monitors and hate everything else they make

Sony - shady business practices such as rootkits on CDs

Microsoft - I hate Windows but I'm forced to use it because software developers are mostly only Windows/OS X, plus don't even get me started on Xbox & GFWL...

Dynex - not sure if this counts but it's Best Buy's own products...quality is so bad I'm convinced they have a team of mentally ill chimps to assemble their products and then they toss them around a few times

EA - pretty much preaching to the choir but disgustingly greedy business practices and not even caring about customers in the slightest bit

[steffen_anywhere]

Kingston. The V300 is terrible. I was looking for an SSD for my 2010 MacBook Pro and the reviews I read just make me not trust them.

[Jamdude]

so tell me, how did you get your fans to 60% without the use of a custom fan curve via third party program like afterburner?

I had them on auto, GPU-Z was telling me they were going up to 60% at full load. I did get a bad card which is why I had to send it back.

[jonnyyyl]

Some good mentions here.

 

Intel mobo, PNY, Razor, Mad Catz, Alienware, HP, Foxconn, MSI, Zotac, Dell (except for monitors), Seagate and Hitachi are all on my list.

Samsung phones and monitors sometimes disappoint.

 

I am however quite surprised about ASRock mobo. Why do people have such a problem? I admit their past products weren't great. It was only last year they stepped up their game.

Ok so someone made a similar thread for people to mention ones they do trust . . . but here is one for ones you don't trust. . . probably helps that you have experience with company too . . . and don't say Apple. lol I mean like custom PC bits

XFX (crappy cooling and support)

LG (2 monitors died in 1,5 year)

Seagate (because seagate)

VIA (best bluescreen chipsets ever)

Madcatz (rat 5 mouse broke 5 times in one year)

Alienware Had a m14x for a good price still the biggest piece of shit ever
