One of the greatest technology events in Greece and possibly the world is Athens Digital Week. This website is devoted to the event and giving you an overview of what goes on during this amazing week in the amazing city of Athens Greece:
The clocking is a term that describes the efforts of computer users to push
their system to the limits and squeeze the last available either MHz processor,
either by the graphics card, either from their mother or their memories .
And now we reasonably ask “How is it;”
The simplest technique is to increase the MHz processor to achieve the maximum
possible frequency. It sounds easy but is not. Many factors affect the final
result. From the individual settings in the mother and the memories until the
cooling subsystems.
But let’s consider in detail the cooling factor is the most decisive. We have 3
main ways of cooling subsystems, we
Air cooling, water cooling and extreme cooling.
Let’s see them one by one in detail:
The cooling air is the way of cooling systems with heat sink with fan or not.
The material of construction vary. Whether copper or aluminum or a combination
of both, eg a copper base with aluminum fins.Stin if we can be squeezed our
system you choose for a processor aeropsyktra with copper base, aluminum fins
and heatpipes, and finally quite a strong fan.
The water cooling system for cooling the computer parts with water. We need a
circuit consisting of a pump, refrigerator, blocks and tubes, and depending on
the design of a tank circuit. Clearly more efficient than air cooling but
requires some knowledge and a lot of patience, attention to the layout of the
circuit.
Finally, the extreme cooling that escapes from the above 2 solutions described
above. Examples will mention a few. Cooling structure includes a motor
(horsepower varies depending on the desired effect) and a capillary evaporator,
This is defined as monovathmio and can reach up to -60 degrees Celsius.
Cooling with dry ice or liquid nitrogen is placed in special baskets and there
can reach temperatures up to -150.
Many will be wondering “Well, we did this, then?”
For almost a year has established The HwBot, a website which purpose is to
gather information regarding the standards and benchmarks pc hardware. You can
use the hwbot to compare between processors or graphics cards, or to compare
the performance of your entire system with that of thousands of other users and
find the proper functioning.
The HwBot is unique in several respects. Unlike other hardware sites, the
performance of a hardware card in HwBot not based on the testimony of a single
user, but the experiences of a community of thousands of users. This is
especially important when you look at the possibility of overclocking or else
overclocking a processor or video card. The fact that a particular reviewer
could do overclock by 20% compared to the stock (factory price) a processor is
essentially a single event with little intrinsic value for the average user. By
contrast the latter can undoubtedly benefit much more if hundreds of users
achieve the same increase in performance. This aim and HwBot.
Through the use of HwBot encourages all users of a forum. The service of HwBot
bot can be configured to scan a specific forum and record performance
comparison results (benchmarking). If a visitor or a member of the forum
postarei a specific benchmark on a subject, then the bot automatically adds the
results of classification of this group / forum.
Because of the many useful features of the program and the continued presence
of an active support group, the HwBot has now become the busiest haunt of the
followers of overclocking, a place where they can compare their results and
compete with each other trying for the best.
The programs that compete are as follows Pifast, super pi 1m, super pi 32m,
wprime 1024m, wprime 32m, 3d mark 01,03,05,06, vantage, Aquamark, Pcmark 04,
05, Vantage, Sisoft Sandra,.
The Greek community in the HOT (Hellas Overclocking Team), member of which is
the pctechnology.gr, not only has just made its presence felt but is now
considered one of the biggest forces globally with many significant firsts.
Speeches and ideas of important Greek and foreign scientists as well as
representatives of communities and bloggers will be filmed and shown on the
website of the event.
The site visitors will be able to watch the video and participate in on line
discussions.
In addition to Technopolis all speeches will be broadcast on line, enabling
visitors to comment and send messages on line and opinions by participating in
this way actively involved in a real talk show.

Modding Competition
We spent several years at a time when computers have come for good in our
lives. PC at work, at home or even on the road as laptops. The uses are many
and varied: work, leisure, education. We are certainly the information age.
Really, how many of the users PC (Personal Computer) know what they mean first
of apparatus which spend much of their day and how did this;
Once more for the computer is a cold machine, for others it is an object of
expression with the aim to make him the more “personal”, thus giving
a different meaning to the term ‘personal computer’ originally implied all
those computers due to limited size, price and opportunities in relation to
supercomputers, aimed at end users.
This mood manifested shyly a few years ago with the emergence of the first box
with a window on the side that is visible inside the computer.
Originally indeed such windows came as an accessory. Many hardware enthusiasts
and gamers in need than to have a powerful pc, to show already.
Along with the advent of window boxes, personal transformation began with the
basic objective of both creating the conditions for increased performance
(correct airflow, tidying up cables etc) and improve the aesthetic side.
Thus, from an air cooling was replaced by water cooling, using first
refrigerated trucks and pumps in aquariums, and the other neon lights, colorful
led, uv paint and many more materials have turned the “colorless” and
impersonal boxes into works of art.
Today of course, has erected an entire industry around the activity of modding.
If anyone watched the technological developments and more specifically the
emergence of computers in recent years, one finds a big surprise that along
with the logical and expected improvement in performance, most companies
constantly give more and more attention to the design of their products.
O average case modification or just case modding comes from the need to
transform a housing H / PC or game console tray.
There is a common procedure for how to create the essay in case modding. It is
an art, an expression of the modder who uses any available material or the
location of the computer or not to show outward artistic and not just concerns.
How did this but the trend for non-conventional boxes; At the beginning of the
computer box was a whole room so the modding was inherently impossible. It
started with Apple when it’s in white boxes placed a dark contrast and since
then the growing market for computers. More and more companies manufacture many
Pc’s with weird colors and designs in order to gain the buying public.
In the market you can find most motherboards with integrated cooling systems in
the warmer areas, such as the northbridge, special structures for cooling water
and even other accessories such as memory, disks etc.
Limitation of course there is and, like any art, so in case modding, there are
people who every day go out of their creations beyond imagination.
We have seen implementations that only computers do not recall. Computers in
the form of guitar, unmanned vehicle, tank, coffee maker, castle and everything
else you put your mind all those who want to make something unique and
entiposiasoun.
To modding is a passion, an art and like any art can not apodothei through
words. Visit modding stage of pctechnology.gr in Athens Digital Week to see up
close what it is and stick and you the bug of case modding.
