Hi guys (and gals ),
the popularity and curiosity of CPU overclocking seems to be increasing. as a result there seems to be an ever increasing number of new threads here at TechSpot regarding overclocking, but there really is no fitting place for it...
new members (and sometimes existing members) who wish to ask/learn about overclocking don't always know where to post their question because there is no "obvious" place to post it. at first thought, the forum most related to CPU overclocking would be the 'CPU, Chipsets, and Mobos' forum, but that forum is for cpu/chipset/mobo problems, not O/C'ing.
O/C'ing threads supposedly belong in the 'cooling and modding' forum, but I don't really see why. modding generally refers to physically modifying a case, etc (not simply adjusting BIOS settings). and while heavy O/C'ing may require better cooling, moderate O/C'ing is often attainable with stock cooling.
Personally, I think it's time to add an "OVERCLOCKING" sub-forum to the 'hardware and tweaking" forum. I'm interested at hearing admins/mods/members opinions on this
cheers :wave:
