Hi,

At one of the IDF keynotes the other day, we launched, what we think is, the world's first overclocking magazine... The Overclocker. It's monthly and it's free and can be found at www.theoverclocker.com.

I'm very keen not to sound like a spammer here... I met one of your journalists at IDF and he said I should mention it here.

We're not going to compete with anyone. We've not got our own (proper) website and we haven't got our own forums. Instead we're going to use forums like these to post questions and send readers here to answer them (or ask questions here and get the industry to answer them).

Because overclocking is global it doesn't matter what country you're in when you read this magazine. In our first issue we cover overclocking in Singapore and Asus' world championships held in Hong Kong. There's some great video interviews with the world's best too.

We've got reports on events, interviews with overclockers and the industry, reports on world record breakers and a handful of reviews. We want to act as a hub for the world's overclocking communities. Hopefully, we can work closely with the people on this particular forum.

Please let us know what you think... constructively please!

Best regards,

Nick, editor

Looks interesting, very professionally done :thumbsup:.

- Is it purely an online newsletter type thing? Or will there be a print magazine? I saw the embedded videos, so I guess that'd be pretty hard to incorporate into print :p.
- Is it going to be pretty much focused on CPU overclocking, as opposed to Maximum PC and Custom PC, which cover more of a wide range of enthusiast and gaming topics?

Looks pretty hardcore - I bet the people at XS are going to love the content. I think most of the components you guys covered are out of my price range though, and the price range of many of us here ;).

Good points there...

With HP's Magcloud (currently in Beta) we should be able to get print versions available on request. We're looking into that right now. I certainly won't be looking at making money from that - just covering costs.

Issue one is a bit hardcore - we'll definitely be adding lower-end stuff from next issue onwards as we want to include all overclockers and not just LN2 fiends.

We're doing overclocking and nothing else (except maybe distributed computing in future issues!) But we want to keep the magazine 'bitesize' so that we don't tread on anyone else's toes, and people don't go blind when reading it.

Best regards,

Nick

While I didn't sign up, I decided to read your privacy policy, anyway (I always read 100% of any privacy policy, or EULA, but what do you expect, my brother is a lawyer). That was the most entertaining ones I've seen yet. If your articles are written the same manner, I'll be visiting your site again.

Cool, good idea. So that's where Josh Collins went after he left Atomic :). I'm all signed up.
