Trusted Brands

🔒 Trusted Brands at PC36

We only use components from reputable, proven manufacturers. Every part we install is chosen for reliability, performance, and long-term support — never for short-term savings. Our goal is simple: build PCs that just work.

Why Some Listings Use Broad Terms

You may notice phrases such as “B850 motherboard” or “1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD” on our listings. This is intentional — stock and pricing fluctuate frequently, and this approach lets us always offer the best up-to-date value without compromising quality.

PC36 is a premium brand with a focus on stability and performance. We maintain an internal database of trusted models — components we’ve personally validated across hundreds of systems.

We believe in clarity and transparency. At any time, you can message us on live chat before ordering and we’ll confirm the exact models being used. You can also request specific alternatives if you have a personal preference.

Our Commitment to Quality

We never cut corners. Each system is built using parts that meet our internal standards for power delivery, thermals, acoustics, and reliability. We only source components from brands with strong Western market presence and proper warranty support — never unverified imports.

🧩 Motherboards

We know more about motherboards than most people — we’ve used hundreds of them. We never hit the bargain basement, but also never make you pay for features you won’t use. Each board’s VRM (power delivery) is validated to ensure your CPU performs at its best.

Mainstream (for Ryzen 5 / Ryzen 7 / i5 / i7)

The brand of RAM matters less than the quality of the chips and configuration. We only use reputable global brands — no cheap imports — and select kits based on stability and tested compatibility.

Typical RAM Kits

  • ADATA Lancer
  • Patriot Viper
  • Corsair Vengeance
⚡ Storage (SSD)

Every PC36 system includes a memory buffered SSD, unlike most competitors. This ensures stable, smooth long-term performance. SSDs listed as "Midrange" have either HMB or SLC caching. SSDs listed as "Premium" have top 10% PCIe 4.0 speeds with a dedicated DRAM cahce

🎮 Graphics Cards

We typically select the most efficient and cost-effective variant of each chipset. Performance and noise differences between models of the same GPU are minimal — so we focus on the silicon that matters, not cosmetic extras. The chipset (e.g., RTX 5080) and VRAM (e.g., 16GB) will always be correct.

Brands We Use

  • ASRock
  • ASUS
  • Gigabyte
  • MSI
  • Palit
