TechPowerUp, your place on the web for in-depth PC hardware reviews and enthusiast news, is looking for a desktop motherboard reviewer. Our current reviewer, ir_cow, is going to focus on DRAM module reviews exclusively. The motherboard reviewer job requires a high level understanding of the layout and workings of modern motherboards, including detailed technical photography of its various onboard devices, VRM, memory, commentary on layout and ease-of-installation/use, as well as performance benchmarks, and overclocking capabilities.

We expect our potential motherboard reviewer to be able to identify key components of the motherboard, the various controllers, VRM, PHYs, and chipset; the expansion slot layout and the way PCIe lanes are distributed across the motherboard; and other important aspects, such as the motherboard's own cooling mechanisms. You also need a solid grasp on memory timings, and tuning for a given platform, and the willingness to explore and learn. Our performance testing involves not just the CPU performance on a given motherboard, but also that of certain onboard devices, such as audio, and those of storage interfaces. Some of our recent motherboard reviews should give you a good idea of our review format, article structure, and the testing involved.The TechPowerUp motherboard reviewer position is paid, part-time, remote (worldwide), and would typically require an output of at least 3-4 reviews a month. Besides being a paid position, TechPowerUp will assist you with sampling from all leading brands. We will also provide guidance and assist you with baseline hardware such as processors, memory modules, storage, coolers, and everything else needed for testing.

Interested? Contact us at w1zzard@techpowerup.com. Tell us a bit about yourself, where you live, how old, and what makes you the right candidate. It's perfectly okay if you're not exactly a literary genius, or lack experience writing reviews. We are interested in motivated enthusiasts who understand motherboards and love to play with the newest hardware, just like we do. All the best!

We'll pool applications for two weeks and then go through all of them, so be patient. Please spend a few minutes on your application so it stands out, from the dozens (if not more) of submissions.
