Zhiye's passion for computer hardware ignited in his pre-teen years, thanks to a learning moment in which a power connection mishap set his Pentium P54CS system on fire and inadvertently short-circuited his entire home. Over the years, Zhiye's curiosity evolved into a relentless pursuit of deeper knowledge of computer hardware. A regular kid tinkering with something beyond his comprehension eventually became a power user for one of the world's top computer hardware brands. His quest to understand the inner workings of computer hardware has led him to become a writer at Tom's Hardware. When Zhiye isn't covering the latest processor, graphics card, or putting SSDs through their paces, you'll often find him overclocking RAM to the rhythm of the latest trance hits.
