Conference Modding Hardware
Underclocking
In recent years, Campus Party has become a benchmark in the field of overclocking, achieving several world records. At Campus Party Millennium learn another variation called “underclocking” consisting of resetting your computer to reduce their consumption when they need all the processor power. With this technique, lower the temperature and noise of the machine and save energy while prolonging the life of its components. Find out more at the hands of the best experts in the Mediterranean.
