How Affiliate Links Work

Some links on BottleneckPC may be "affiliate links." When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase from the retailer, we may receive a small commission. This comes at no additional cost to you - the price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer's website.

Affiliate Partnerships

We may participate in various affiliate programs with online retailers. When you click a product link on our Site and make a purchase, the retailer may pay us a small referral commission.

Editorial Independence

Affiliate relationships do not influence our hardware recommendations, bottleneck calculations, or build suggestions. Product recommendations are based on publicly available benchmark data, price-to-performance ratios, and compatibility analysis. We recommend products we believe offer the best value regardless of whether they generate affiliate revenue.

Not All Links Are Affiliate Links

Not every link on the Site is an affiliate link. We also link to resources, documentation, and websites that provide no financial benefit to us. We include these links because they are useful or relevant to our content.

How to Identify Affiliate Links

Affiliate links on the Site typically direct you to a retailer's product page. Product "Buy" or "View Price" buttons on our build pages and product listings may contain affiliate links. When possible, we indicate that links are affiliate links nearby the link.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

BottleneckPC is a free resource. Affiliate commissions help us cover hosting costs and continue developing new tools and content. Your support through affiliate links helps us keep the Site free for everyone.
