About
This 'What I have to do' mind map template organizes a hardware reviewer's workflow across 61 nodes in 4 main branches: Coolers, Placement, Graphics Cards, and Motherboards. It covers product testing for CPU coolers like the Corsair H50 and Thermaltake Frio, GPU benchmarking for the XFX 5870 and ASUS GTX 480, and motherboard evaluations on the ASUS P6X58D-E. The template also includes career tasks such as 'Post CV' and event planning like 'Channel Expo'. Each product branch breaks down into photography, editing, and specific test scenarios (e.g., 'Stock', 'Reverse fan', 'Dual Noctua fans'), making it a practical cheat sheet for tech reviewers managing multiple hardware units.
