Is Their a magazine out that is aimed at computer Hobyist/over clockers?

**Daveb2012** · 01-31-2006 02:09 PM

I think this would be a good idea if it doesn't already exist. Just articles similar to the "news" section on XS. maybe some interviews with manufactures. stories on world records. You could probably get companies like Newegg, OCZ or Monarch to help funding by placing some ad's in their as well. I think it would be cool, does it already exist?

**RAMMAN** · 01-31-2006 03:41 PM

no, but i wish it did.

**n00b 0f l337** · 01-31-2006 05:36 PM

If we took a month of NEWS from XS. We'd need a book.

**sin0822** · 01-31-2006 05:48 PM

gos so fast, wed need a newspaper

**trakslacker** · 01-31-2006 09:09 PM

yeah that'sr eally the problem. A monthly publication would be completely outdated by the time it hit stands, especially since magazines like that have a 2-3 month lead-in time minimum. Just not feasible with how fast our tech. moves.

**Daveb2012** · 01-31-2006 09:49 PM

It would be a little dated but if the material was good people would read it.

way outdated.

Here are a few news articles from about 3 months ago, which would be an early lead-in for a February issue.

Would you really want to pick up a magazine right now and read about the release of the X1800XT and advance GTX 512 rumors and the Sony rootkits as though they are breaking news?

There not much point really, its has already been suggested that magazines and newspapers are suffering because of the net i.e people getting their info from forums and news sites. Why read month,week or day old news when we normally hear about anything interesting first on XS.

I like Custom PC... not really that indepth, but a bit of everything...

**oasked** · 02-05-2006 01:25 AM

The lead-time from writing to production is just too long for a magazine to keep up, plus would the customer base really be large enough to justify it - especially when most potential customers will probably have got the information off the internet already.

**eshbach** · 02-05-2006 02:14 AM

hmm, this brings up an interesting point though...

would anyone be interested in co-foudning an overclocking e-zine?

i'm thinking something bi-weekly, with a going records page, hardware previews/reviews, interviews, editorials, and a feature story or two. then a few pages each issue dedicated to the best OC's of the last 2 weeks.

We'd need reps from all the major forums and teams, including team japan of course

I really think it has some potential... anyone agree?

**ZX7891** · 02-05-2006 11:00 AM

I would definetly be interested in making an e-zine. Bi weekly sounds good. We could interviews with all the big overclockers too.

I would also be really intersted in it. I think its a great Idea I would be willing to help out if some one has the knowledge to start it. I know readers would be interested in that. It would be cool to just have Interviews from people who broke new records, to hear tips on how they did it ect.. If it caught on im sure sponsers would help out.

**sin0822** · 02-05-2006 01:35 PM

let me know, id be happy to help you out.

**eshbach** · 02-05-2006 07:51 PM

ok guys, you have a PM about the e-zine

**Magnj** · 02-05-2006 09:34 PM

I could help with the E-zine if needed...
as far as mags...I have read some and they are just lame case modding and weak overclocks. I guess good for non-forum people.

**elec999** · 02-06-2006 06:00 AM

I am a bit intrested in this e-zine
Could I get a pm please.
Thanks

**isp** · 02-07-2006 07:34 PM

only thing I can think of would be CPU mag, but Kyle Bannit writes for them heh.

haven't been to a newstand in a while tbh.

**thegoatman** · 02-07-2006 09:12 PM

Forums=the closest thing we have to a news publication lol

**Stuperman** · 02-08-2006 01:22 AM

I used to like MaximumPC, but I'm not sure If it got watered down, or I got smarter but I find it to be a bit noobish now.
