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. With a stethoscope in one hand and a gadget in the other, I’m both a doctor and a PC tech expert, dedicated to pursuing both my passions at the same time.
Position at Tech4Gamers
At Tech4Gamers, I’m the PC Hardware Specialist, primarily contributing to the “Best-Ofs” section. 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.
The MSI B650M Project Zero motherboard introduces a backplug layout for a tidier build by positioning connectors at the rear, catering to AMD Ryzen 7000/8000 series CPUs. It supports DDR5 memory up to 7600MHz+ (OC), but lacks PCIe Gen 5 connectivity. Key features include robust thermal solutions, comprehensive USB connectivity including a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port, and options for 2.5G LAN alongside WiFi 6E.
The ORICO USB Enclosure and 2TB NVMe SSD combo stands out for its stylish, tool-less design and fast 10Gbps transfer speeds.

The SSD offers high performance with 3100MB/s speeds and includes useful accessories like thermal pads and an aluminum heatsink for heat management.
ID-Cooling's New Frost X55 Thermal paste is an upgrade over its previous versions, offering excellent performance and substantial value at $9 USD for a 4-gram tube. It features eye-catching packaging with four scent options; despite the cosmetic focus, its core function remains effective. The paste is slightly less viscous than the X45 while retaining the good thickness. Overall, the performance is in the high-end thermal-paste category.

Voice and gesture controls are also available, and the built-in mics deliver clear audio for calls or casual recordings. While it’s not as sharp or feature-packed as the Tiny 3, it provides a sweet spot for those who want smart tracking without paying flagship prices.
