Are there any colleges that run overclocking classes/workshops run in the evenings?

I'm new to the PC scene and whilst there are plenty of guides to overclocking I would be more willing to learn RAM and CPU overclocking in an evening course.

Oh and in the Greater Manchester area.

Thanks.

You're better off just reading the threads and guides. :)
 
overclocking is way too simple for there to be a need for workshops or courses on it, and the hardcore overclockers that go to the extremes of liquid nitrogen setups are too far and few between for there to be any courses on the high end of the spectrum.

Could say that about GCSEs or A Levels or First Aid or any other course for that matter. It's hard for some easy for others.

I know GCSEs and A Levels are getting easier every year but I'm still pretty sure they are more complicated than going into bios, changing a couple values, checking some programs in windows and rinse/repeat until desired settings are achieved. Or in some circumstances overclocking can be done with the push of a single button.

Some people won't touch anything if they don't know what it does. Everyone can't be good at everything. Some people are scared of the bios. Especially how it can cause damage to hardware at the change of a setting.

I'm not saying that some people may not know much about BIOS settings, or may not be comfortable with changing settings. My point was is that all the information need is online and there is plenty of support from experienced people here on these forums and other places and personally I don't see the subject matter having enough depth to really give a need for courses on the subject.

All the info is online for everything about life. Doesn't mean people are going to sit looking for answers as some people prefer to be taught in a classroom. I see where you are coming from though.
 
The best way to learn about overclocking is by doing. If you don't want to sacrifice your own rig raid the members market or acquire some old kit that you won't cry if it goes pop.

Something will go pop in overclocking. Blowing something up is a right of passage.

I was going to say I've never killed anything, then I remembered my MSI GD65's VRM's popped at 5GHZ on my old 2500k :p

I'd like to see you take a Maths A Level and say it is 'easy' .
It's not the hardest thing in the world but it is by no definition 'easy'
