Magazine for Overclockers Reaches Issue #2

by - source: Tom's Hardware

For those that didn’t know, there is in fact a free magazine dedicated strictly to overclocking. Don’t be shocked now - it’s called The Overclocker.

The magazine was created because overclocking is of great importance to enthusiasts but there wasn’t a single magazine that gave the topic the attention that a dedicated magazine would. The authors Nick Ross and Josh Collins even quit their jobs to start the magazine.

The Overclocker is a digital magazine with no direct affiliation with any company or website. Because one of the goals of the authors is "binding the world’s overclocking communities together" and not create its own community, the magazine’s website does not even have its own forum.

The magazine focuses on hardware and overclocking news from around the world, reports on overclocking events, short hardware reviews and interviews with the world’s most skilled overclockers. There are also plenty of competitions with very simple questions to answer. You can even enter a competition just for signing up.

Issue #2 includes an interview with top Intel engineer Francois Piednoel, a report on Gigabyte’s Open Overclocking Championship and a shootout between AMD’s and NVIDIA’s top and midrange cards.

If you don’t want to view the electronic version, the magazine is currently available in print to US citizens only through Hewlett Packard’s MagCloud and there is a small charge to cover the cost of printing and shipping.

Heh, HP punting an overclocking guide. Anyone else see the irony here? never knew HP had a machine you could overclock without it falling flat on it's face. Due credit though, for the average consumer it's probably worth while.

Uhhmm if you read the article it clearly states the magazine is being distributed by HP but is an independent publication for very hardcore overclockers. If it was being published by HP it would entitled "overselling" (or "How to sell crock, obsolete hardware with high mark-up to the unwitting IT (un)professional") ...

Obviously I can't comment if the magazine is any good because it is only available to those lucky enough to enough to live within the US. (Uhmmm that's really helping to bind the world community together...)
