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

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.

We've spent weeks reviewing and testing a variety of motherboards; here are our selections!

MSI MAG B850M Mortar WiFi Review: Ticks All The Right Boxes!

The MSI MAG B850M Mortar WiFi is an excellent mATX option to run the latest AMD Ryzen 9000 chips, offering a decent design plus excellent I/O and performance at a fair price. 5G LAN, WiFi 7, 20G USB, and dual PCIe Gen 5 M.2 slots are some of its highlights, and we can't get enough of the EZ-DIY features either.

ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero Review: Best X870E Motherboard For Overclocking?

The ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero is one of the most premium ($700) offerings for AMD's most premium chipset. It offers a fresh, all-black design highlighted by the large Polymo Lighting II array, excellent VRMs, five M.2 slots, and 20 USB ports. Dual LAN ports are also on offer, but we would've preferred a singular 10G port.

With Reviews Finally Here, The RX 9070 XT Is Definitely AMD’s Most Impressive GPU Since The RX 580

AMD just launched the RX 9070 XT. With all the benchmarks out and about, here's why I think it's the best AMD GPU in recent times.

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.

Why I Always Keep My Game’s DLSS Updated With DLSS Swapper

The DLSS Swapper software allows you to update any DLSS-supporting game to the latest DLSS version; here's why I've been using it.

ASRock Z890 Pro-A Review: A Z890 For $190?

The ASRock Z890 Pro-A is an entry-level motherboard that comes in at a highly competitive price of $189.99 USD. At this price, the motherboard does drop the support for WiFi and Bluetooth, though the slot is available to separately install a module of your own. Other than this minor inconvenience, the board offers pretty much everything, from decent performance to a good selection of I/O with a budget-friendly price tag.

ASRock B850M Pro RS WiFi Review: Low Budget, High Value

The ASRock B850M Pro RS WiFi motherboard is a great small form-factor motherboard for budget gamers who want to utilize AMD's latest mid-range offerings. It provides decent value with 17x USB ports, 3x M.2 slots, and 4x HDD slots. It also has a beautiful black-and-white design and overall packs enough performance and features to offer a good gaming experience without breaking the bank.
