Jonathon Fitzgerald from TeamAU, also known as “2for40” Uncle Fester, decided it was time to make a new online magazine called Hardware Leaks to rival the well established The Overclocker it seems. It’s great to see another Australian serve up a nice read for us extreme overclockers. The Overclocker, for the uninformed, was originally formed by a couple of Aussies, Nick Ross and Josh Collins and taken over by Neo Sibeko from South Africa a while ago. Well done to both mags, keep them coming boys!
“SERVING UP HARDWARE AT -196C” << I like!
It looks like a healthy battle for extreme overclocking readership is about to get under way just like an epic battle between GIGABYTE X58A-OC vs ASUS Rampage 3 Extreme, “last hurrah for overclockers of the X58 platform” according to the author of the article in the first issue of the mag.

… and i thought overclockers went over the top with their hobby!
TeamAU, extreme OC team, is coming to Sydney to help PC PowerPlay magazine teach its readers how to overclock with sub-zero cooling.
The magazine is taking registrations right now and will invite 15 lucky participants to come to the show and overclock CPUs and graphics cards with liquid nitrogen. GIGABYTE organised some sweet prizes. There will also be a livestream for those that can’t attend. There is also a big chance you’ll end up in this popular magazine in post-event coverage if you participate!
