Hi I'm Tristan, and I love computers. I'm a software developer 'by trade', but I've always loved making videos so I produce videos discussing PC gaming and hardware as often as I can.

I also publish regularly on the sister channel, Shorter Tech: youtube.com/@ShorterTechOverwrite

I currently have two computers: a Ryzen 7600 | AMD Radeon RX 9070XT gaming PC, and a Ryzen 7700 | RTX 5060 Ti workstation/editing PC.

For general tech queries, please drop a comment on a relevant video and I'll do my best to reply back as soon as I can :)

For sponsorship type enquiries, please reach out via email to me at: tristan (at) techoverwrite (dot) com.

If I win the lottery, I won't tell anyone, but there will be signs...

Is anyone here interested in random electrical repairs? I haven't been before (due to my lack of skills!), but two months ago I bought a fancy new £250 light (the Amaran Verge Max)... and it broke with minimal use.

Basically the USB-C port ripped off from the internal daughterboard inside the device, despite me being ultra careful with it.

The retailer was messing me around, so I ended up dismantling the light, and pigtailing a 65w USB-C cable/charger into the Amaran light's internal power supply cables - and it worked!

It's a bit of a janky repair, but it was a fun project, and my first real repair like this :)

P.s. Some of the Wagos are gone now - they were for temporary ease of testing)

Pro tip: if you leave your network switches dangling like this, you get faster download speeds

RAM prices have gone so crazy that high-spec'd builds are now an instant chick magnet.

Apparently...?

Most tech companies: we'll carefully announce a new product in CES, after months of leaks.

Valve: We'll drop 3 brand new products on a random Wednesday.

Just tried to play Battlefield 6 and... yikes! Good for the game, but a 457k player queue is crazy! Ah well, hopefully I can play later tonight 😭

Guess I won't be watching TV tonight then - thanks Samsung!

(Okay so I did get around this eventually, but what's with the "share your data with our 269 partners" bit?!)

I bought a second hand PC on Marketplace and was thinking "huh this PC is pretty clean"... until I saw the PSU dust filter 😳
