Position at Tech4Gamers

At Tech4Gamers, I’m the PC Hardware Specialist, primarily contributing to the “Best-Ofs” section and covering news about technology and the PC hardware industry. I provide thoughtful buying advice based on thorough testing and personal expertise. I also review hardware products and games to keep things fresh.

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.

Current PC setup

Currently, I’m rocking the following setup:

  • 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
  • RAM: G.Skill TridentZ RGB 32GB 3200MHz CL16
  • SSD: Sabrent Rocket 4 PCIe 4.0 2TB NVMe
  • PSU: Corsair RM850x

Gamers are terrified of the used market, but is it really that bad? Let's analyze the different components and see where you can save money.

Ultrawide monitors seem to have vanished from the mainstream in recent years. I think this form factor need to make a comeback.

I Immediately Turn Down THESE Settings In a New Game

Turning down these graphics settings can give you a huge bump in performance while having a minimal impact on image quality.

Motherboards Are Getting Too Expensive

Motherboard prices seem to be on a steady climb over the past few years, and budget motherboards are almost non-existent. Why?

Why You Should Be Concerned About GPU Sagging

You should be concerned about GPU sagging because it can be hazardous, causing thermal throttling or even physical damage to the computer.

TDP Ratings Are Misleading – Here’s Why

Nowadays you can find a TDP rating on pretty much every box in the store. I think TDP ratings for processors can be quite misleading.

Finding the ideal GPU+CPU pairing can be a hassle, so here are three of my favorite pairings in 2024, depending on your resolution of choice.
