Overclocking
What is overclocking? and what is all the fuss about? Well, overclocking is technique in which users tweak and adjust various settings on the motherboard, so that a cheaper processor can achieve the speeds, only available on more expensive processors. I remember back in 1995, during my early days of DIY computing, overclocking was only popular with the hardcore enthusiasts, and it was a very niche market. Nowadays, overclocking has become extremely popular, not only for the hardcore extreme enthusiasts, but also for regular mainstream users. The reason behind this, is because many manufacturers have introduced new innovative technologies and features, that allow easier overclocking … achieving near impossible speeds.
“With contestants from over 33 countries participating, the GOOC is the largest overclocking event of its kind in the world! Overclockers from around the globe battle it out on top-notch hardware from GIGABYTE, Intel, ATI, ADATA, Seagate and Envision.
The worldwide final contestants are the winners from the regional finals held in Indonesia, China, Mexico, Spain and USA in June and July. The winners of the regional events will then head to Taipei to compete against each other in Taipei, Taiwan in Hua-Shan Creative Park (East 3 Hall) on Saturday, September 25th, 2010.”
