Re: Overclockers UK bought by German private equity firm Afinum
hopefully they might begin to gain that good reputation back that they used to have by actually being good again!

I bought a heck of a lot of things from them back when I was a student - must be over 10 years ago now! Never knew overclocking still existed!

I haven't used them for years - since they got bought out the last time. really really poor in my experience since then. even when friends buy stuff from them now, they still mess it up. terrible.

Not only does it still exist, it's even expanded.
People even overclock their mobile phones, routers and digital cameras these days. Back in my student days I used to overclock my monitor.

Phones: there's an app for it
Routers: Hacked firmware (though I could make an app for it if I were desperate)
Digital cameras: Hacked firmware

Higher quality output, more options and features, higher capture speed, etc. Basically any option where you stand to benefit from changing it and the manufactuere hasn't put an item in the menu for you to do so.
