Atomic KitLog – How to Overclock Core i7 CPUs
Yes sir, very Atomic!
Not too long ago I wrote a tutorial for Australian tech magazine Atomic which delves into the process of overclocking Intel's latest high end CPU architecture - the Core i7. They've now released this article for free in their quarterly issue of Kitlog, which is an e-mag aimed at providing information regarding computer builds across different budgets/purposes. It's a great opportunity to see what Atomic is all about, and to check out some of my published works.
KitLog is a new publication which is currently at issue two. Their first issue also has one of my articles which is all about designing the perfect PC. So, if you're looking for something new to check out, head over to Atomic, indulge in their offerings, and mingle with the best tech minds on their online forum!
Debunking overclocking FUD
The naysayers have it wrong. Or do they?
We're finally in a day and age where overclocking is no longer regarded as a forbidden dark-art. In the days of yore, companies such as Intel would strongly oppose overclocking. Many dodgy hardware vendors would swap clock crystals, muck around with jumper settings, and pull all sorts of finicky pin modifications to up the power of low end CPUs. Then they'd sell the systems as high end configurations, with misleading model numbers and clock speed specifications, to trick users into thinking their system is of a higher calibre.
