About Me

Hi! I’m Usman Saleem, with 8+ years of PC hardware expertise and a Google IT Support Specialization certificate, specializing in in-depth tech analysis and reviews.

Tech Journey

From childhood, I’ve been immersed in gaming and PC hardware. Starting with a Pentium 2 PC, each named PC, from ZEUS to APOLLO, symbolizes a chapter in my journey. My true passion lies in the beating heart of the gaming industry – PC hardware.

  • CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster MasterLiquid ML240R
  • OS: Windows 10
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
  • Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK
  • GPU: ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3080 Ti AMP Holo
