Terms of Service
Last updated: May 2026 · Applies to RankedCPU (www.rankedcpu.com) and pages operated as part of the BuildRanked network.
1. Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using RankedCPU (“the site”, “we”, “us”), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please stop using the site. We may update these terms from time to time; the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use after changes means you accept the revised terms.
2. Use of the website
RankedCPU provides CPU rankings, comparisons, and GPU pairing suggestions, educational guides, and catalog filters, compare views, and related guides for informational purposes only.
We strive to keep data and logic reasonable and up to date, but catalog entries, scores, street price estimates, and tool outputs may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. We do not guarantee accuracy, availability of any product, or fitness for a particular purpose. You are responsible for verifying specifications, compatibility, pricing, and suitability before purchasing or relying on any suggestion.
3. No professional advice
Nothing on RankedCPU is professional engineering, financial, legal, or warranty advice. Hardware recommendations, rankings, and comparisons are automated or editorial aids—they are not a substitute for manufacturer documentation, qualified technicians, or your own judgment. Always confirm compatibility (socket, RAM generation, PSU capacity, clearance, BIOS updates, etc.) yourself.
4. Affiliate disclosure
RankedCPU may participate in affiliate programmes. Links to retailers or marketplaces may earn us a commission when you make a qualifying purchase. Affiliate participation does not change how our ranking and recommendation logic is designed to work: we do not sell placement in automated rankings for commission. See also our About page for how we describe revenue, and our Disclaimer for additional detail.
5. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, RankedCPU, BuildRanked, and their operators disclaim liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from or related to your use of the site—including hardware purchases, incompatible builds, performance outcomes, reliance on street price estimates, or interactions with third-party sites or advertisers.
Your use of the site is at your sole risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
6. External links
The site may link to third-party websites (retailers, manufacturers, analytics, ad networks, and sister properties such as BuildRanked, RankedGPU, RankedCPU, RankedRAM, or RankedSSD). We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, pricing, or availability. When you leave RankedCPU, their terms and policies apply.
7. Changes to terms
We may modify these Terms of Service at any time. Material changes will be reflected by updating this page and the “Last updated” date. If you keep using RankedCPU after changes go live, you agree to the updated terms.
8. Contact information
