About Me

Hi! I’m Ali Tauseef, and I have been writing for Tech4Gamers since 2022. I love all things computer hardware but am particularly fond of CPUs and motherboards, and I like to stay up-to-date about the latest advancements in these worlds, and when possible, write about it. When I’m not doing that, I like to get into a little FPS action in CS2 or get lost in the vast world of RDR2.

Position at Tech4Gamers

I intitally started by writing CPU comparisons and since then have written articles of all kinds, from Wikis and How-Tos to dedicated CPU reviews. Currently, I test and review CPUs, motherboards, and sometimes, RAM.

Tech Journey

My tech journey essentially began in my early childhood when I was introduced to my family computer on which I first played Need For Speed II SE. When I first saw what was inside that rusty old off-white PC case, it wasn’t pretty! But it intrigued me as to how all of it functions together to bring us what we see on our screens. Since then, learning about computer hardware has been something of a hobby, and here we are today!

Current PC setup

Here are the current specs of the system I am rocking:

  • OS: Windows 11
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-13700K
  • Motherboard: ASRock Z790 Steel Legend WiFi
  • GPU: MSI Gaming X RTX 3090
  • RAM: XPG Lancer RGB 32GB 7200MT/s DDR5
  • SSD: WD Black SN850X 2TB
  • CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Master Liquid 360 Atmos
  • PSU: Corsair RM850x

MSI MAG B850 Gaming Plus Max WiFi Review: Stunning Looks, Stunted Value

The MAG B850 Gaming Plus Max WiFi costs $260 and lacks important features like 20 Gbps USB and a true mid-range audio codec, which makes it relatively unattractive at the price point. However, it stands out in its looks, the addition of 5G LAN, and the dedicated BCLK generator. Its remaining features are also good enough and in line with its price tag.

ASRock B850 Challenger WiFi White Review: A Budget Gamer’s White-Themed Option

The ASRock B850 Challenger WiFi White is a good value-for-money option for budget gamers if they want to step into the latest Ryzen CPUs. It comes with a 12+2+1 VRM phase design and an adequate cooling system to keep everything under control. Moreover, the number of USB ports and other connectors on this board is pretty decent as well. Besides those, the synthetic performance is still a let-down, making it a viable option only for gamers.

Zotac GeForce RTX 5080 AMP Extreme Infinity Review: Hard To Justify

The Zotac GeForce RTX 5080 AMP Extreme Infinity is a premium variant of the card, costing $250 more than the Founder's Edition. For that, it offers a flashy, premium design, better cooling, and marginally better performance than Nvidia's own model. However, the performance uplift isn't worth the $250 extra, and overall, the generational improvement over the previous generation isn't good enough.
