Most of todays generation are inclined with CPU and Video card overclocking as well as computer modding. Do you think that modding and overclocking is the new modern art?

It will be a disgrace for the computer community to call overclocking an art. first of all it may not be very basic but it's not that difficult. you just tweak some numbers and that's it. art takes time and practice. discipline and creativity. People really inclined in computers won't take much time to figure out how to overclock a new cpu. your name lamedragon suits you well.

you really dont understand overclocking do you?its not just putting numbers..you may damage your cpu once you inputted wrong numbers. OC might not be an art but how about modding?this is an art and overcloking is just a part of modding your computer?you think of alot of thing do you?you never know what it feels to be a gamer?maybe you should polish your bald head...

Might wanna check the meaning of art. but i would understand if your definition of art is like that. Modding? your just buying fans to make you Chassis cooler. it's like collecting miniature models. there are some who buy miniature of ships, plane and cars which is already assembled and there are some buying the not yet assembled ones. they try to build something from the kit, then try to improvise something if one part is missing, then they paint each tiny detail. that's art. now, buying fans... putting it in your CPU or VGA cards. wheres the art in there?

perhaps you have modded a desktop i guess..we make our own case..put some turbines on the fans..put some lighting..put some style on the optical drive eject door.its like making a statue and some like a pyramid?wasn't that an art?maybe you define art too deeply..we have our own perception of whats art or not..for you its not but for us it is..kindly widen your thinking and some art in your like dude..
