Who's behind this

Hello everyone, my name is Kyle Zahn. I have been a tech enthusiast for 6 years, and in that time I have built 15 computers of varying setups, including both AMD and Intel centered platforms.

Working with both platforms has given me a close look at what each one does well. Every build teaches you something that a spec sheet simply cannot, like which parts are truly worth the money, which ones cause problems, and where the bottlenecks actually are. K-Tech Labs is where I share what I have learned with all of you.

Everything we publish here is tested on our own hardware, at the settings you actually play at. When a part performs well, I will show you exactly why. When it does not, I will tell you that too. Any product sent to us by a brand will always be clearly disclosed. My goal is to help you make more informed and better decisions before potentially buying parts of your own.

How we test

  • Every benchmark is run 3 times and the middle result is reported
  • The same test bench is used for every comparison
  • Real games at real settings, not just synthetic benchmarks
  • Prices are checked the same week a video goes live
  • Sponsored content is always labeled in the video and the description

If a number is not on this site, it is because we have not measured it yet. We would rather leave a gap than pass along a figure from a spec sheet.
