My Journey of Building a Custom AI and Gaming Supercomputing Rig Year 2025
Every tech enthusiast dreams of owning a high-performance machine that can handle the most demanding workloads. For me, as a CSE graduate from NIT Rourkela and 20+ year in tech industry, this dream became a passion project—one that would test my technical skills, patience, and love for hardware. I had multiple options to buy a…
In performance-critical computing environments specially in Gaming Rig, understanding the limits of your disk subsystem is just as important as testing CPU or GPU. Whether you’re evaluating a new SSD, tuning a server for IOPS, or benchmarking storage for a high-availability system, Fio (Flexible IO Tester) is a powerful open-source tool that lets you stress test and…
I had recently built my high-performance super computing AI rig, and stress testing became a crucial step in evaluating its performance, validating overclocks, and identifying potential stability issues. In this tech concept, I’ll walk you through how I effectively use Prime95 (for CPU stress testing) and FurMark (for GPU stress testing) to push my system…
As AI adoption skyrockets across industries, selecting the right GPU becomes a critical success factor. NVIDIA’s RTX 50 Series, powered by the groundbreaking Blackwell architecture, delivers versatile and powerful GPUs optimised for a wide range of AI workloads — from fast inference to efficient fine-tuning and limited full model training. For over 20 years, I’ve…
As AI continues to reshape industries, choosing the right GPU is no longer a luxury—it’s a strategic necessity. NVIDIA’s RTX 40 Series, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, delivers next-generation power for developers, startups, and AI enthusiasts looking to scale inference, fine-tune large models, and even train them from scratch. With over 20 years in…
If you’re building a machine for AI model fine-tuning with PyTorch, TensorFlow, or HuggingFace, choosing the right CPU can feel overwhelming. While the GPU does most of the heavy lifting, your CPU still plays a crucial supporting role—especially in data loading, model orchestration, and multitasking during long training loops. For over 20 years, I’ve been a catalyst of…
