About Andy Tran

Hello, I am a huge computer hardware enthusiast. I love getting my hands on computer hardware from companies such as Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Dell, HP, Apple, NZXT, MSI, EVGA, GIGABYTE, Zotac, ASUS, ASRock, and more. Currently, I am holding on to Intel's ARC A770 16GB VRAM GPU in my personal computer as I am very interested in the potential of the GPU's driver improvement. I’ve built a computer surveillance server for a salon to improve performance and power efficiency, upgrading their CPU from an Intel Xeon E3-1225 (85W) to an Intel Core i3-10100 (65W), from a 280W SFX power supply to a 650W EVGA fully modular power supply with ECO mode and from 16GBs of DDR3 RAM to 32GBs of DDR4 RAM. I’ve built more than 15 gaming computers for people since 2023 who look for cable management, aesthetics, value, and performance which have gained me more than 15 5-star reviews on Facebook Marketplace. At Harvard University, I help troubleshoot computers and maintain them, including system updates, software installs, etc. I often wipe computers, re-image them, and domain-join them. My team also sets up entire office spaces in the buildings that we support. I frequently work with Dell Lattitude, Apple MacBook Pros for laptops, and Dell Optiplex and Apple iMacs for desktops. At Best Buy, using my knowledge of technology, I can effectively recommend products and solutions to customers based on their communicated needs. I have an absolute blast communicating with customers and building relationships at Best Buy.
