About Me

Hi, I’m Ali Rashid Khan, your Wiki Editor at Tech4Gamers. With 14+ years of experience in the gaming and tech industry, I specialize in covering flagship phones and gaming rigs. When away from the keyboard, you’ll find me tinkering with something underneath my car or see me battling it out in the World Championships over a professional game of Scrabble.

Position at Tech4Gamers

As Tech4Gamers’ Wiki Editor, I dissect gaming products, offering detailed perspectives on a variety of PCMR hardware ranging from the Best Motherboards and CPUs to the Best GPUs, RAM, and PSUs.

Tech Journey

With 14+ years of experience in the gaming and tech domain, my journey at Tech4Gamers blends my personal expertise and intuition along with my curiosity to offer a unique outlook on the latest PCMR trends.

Current PC setup

Here are my current PC specs:

What Is VSync? [All Types & Benefits]

VSync, or vertical synchronization, is a technique that is used to synchronize the game's frame rate with the monitor's refresh rate.

Mouse CPI: Everything You Need To Know

Mouse CPI (Counts Per Inch) refers to a measurement used to describe the sensitivity and precision of a PC mouse.

VRAM: What, Types, & How To Increase It

VRAM is GPU-exclusive memory that stores data required frequently by the GPU, such as data for rendering images, videos, and other graphical elements.

PC Chipsets [What, Why, How]

Chipsets are a collection of ICs that establish communication between various components on the motherboard e.g., CPU and RAM.

Motherboard RGB Header: What, Where & How

The RGB header on the motherboard is a connection port that controls the RGB illumination of a computer or RGB components.

Hyper-Threading: Everything To Know

Intel Hyper-Threading technology splits a core into two threads rather than one so that the core can perform more tasks in parallel. 

Thermal Throttling Explained [CPUs And GPUs]

Thermal throttling refers to the automatic reduction of a computer's performance to prevent overheating of the CPU or GPU.

Thermal Paste: What, Why & How

Thermal paste is a viscous substance that improves thermal conductivity between CPU and heatsink surfaces for efficient heat conduction.

Motherboard Form Factors [All Types & Difference]

The common motherboard form factors are Mini ITX, MicroATX, ATX, and E-ATX. ATX is the most common one of all.

Explained: Base & Boost Clock Speeds For CPU/GPU

Base clock speed is the default speed at which your CPU runs, while boost clock speed is the temporarily higher speed when the load is heavy.

CPU Clock Speed: Definition & Everything To Know

CPU Clock Speed is the number of computation cycles a CPU can execute in one second, measured in cycles per second (Hertz).

What Is The Motherboard IO Shield & How To Install It?

The motherboard IO shield is a metal plate that comes with the motherboard, providing protection against EMI and static discharge.

CPU Threads: All You Should Know

A CPU thread is a virtualized processing unit that allows tasks to be executed in parallel within a CPU core, allowing multitasking.

CPU Cores: Everything You Need To Know

A CPU core is an individual processing unit within a CPU that can execute instructions and tasks independently.

What is CAS Latency? [Definitive Guide]

CAS latency refers to the duration it takes for RAM to fulfill a data access request initiated by the CPU.

Xastra ASTRA LZ360 ARGB BK Review: Top-Tier Cooling Meets Retro Style

0
The Xastra ASTRA LZ360 is a high-performance 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler that distinguishes itself with a retro-arcade aesthetic featuring a bright, pixel-matrix display across both the pump and the radiator fans. The cooler also offers chart-topping thermal performance on AMD; however, it comes at a cost of a louder acoustic footprint.

MSI MAG 1200PLS Platinum Review: The Safest 12V-2×6 Connector Yet?

0
The MSI MAG 1200PLS is a Platinum-rated PSU built by CWT on a brand-new platform, and its standout feature is GPU SAFEGUARD, a system that monitors each +12V pin on the 12V-2x6 connector and sounds an alarm if there's a dangerous current imbalance, addressing the melting-connector issues that have plagued high-power GPUs. It runs quiet and efficient even at full 1200W load, but MSI cut corners with mid-tier capacitors (Teapo/ChengX) instead of top-tier brands, which hurts its voltage ripple performance, and it's missing Hybrid-Fan mode that most Platinum PSUs offer. Bottom line: it's a bit pricey and not the best performer for its class, but the GPU SAFEGUARD feature alone makes it worth considering if connector safety is your top concern.
