One would hope that Newegg would be able to filter out nonsense like that. I mean, come on, they filter out every (almost) negative comment! It wouldnt be much effort on their part to also eliminate the comments of those who dont even have the component in their possession (sp?).

They filter comments that have prices in them, or swearing, or stupid stuff like "newegg sucks blah blah blah"

I disagree, I have inserted many comments about products I have tried and had bad results with, nothing negative about Newegg or any mention of the price, and Newegg has not posted them. They pick and choose what they list. It doesn't keep me from shopping there, but it is annoying.

I don't have that problem cause for some reason I get errors every time I try to comment on something... so I stopped trying =)

it takes the site a little while to update for your review to appear. They do edit it if its pretty bad liek swearing and just stupid crap other than that they normally leave it.

actually, referring to "quiet" CPUs, i had a friend who swore that the CPU in his laptop would interfere with his sound and make his speakers crackle. i didn't, and still don't believe him (i think it was something like the hard drive, but i never heard it myself), but there you have it... a "loud" CPU, at least in theory...

I don't think Newegg filters negitive comments. They just seem to pick and choose what goes up at random. I've sent in 2 positive reviews on poducts myself that never got posted. I did not mention prices, swear, ect. Only praise for what I bought. They never went up. Very strange.

That's why the newegg disclaimer as to not make purchasing decisions based on feedback on the product pages.
