    Beer [B] Sub forum suggestions.

    Our site is getting busier and busier, and I was wondering on your thoughts on some sub-forum changes.

    Cooling can get quite different from system to system in a PC, I was thinking, what if cooling was split into subforums for some less general areas, as alot of time for anyone to get a response for video cooling they have to post in video rather than in cooling.

    EG

    Computer Building>Video>Cooling    

    (maybe even computer Building>Video>Overclocking  .........................  or even Computer Building>Video>Overclocking/Cooling)

     

    Computer Building>CPU/ Processors> cooling

    Computer Building>  Overclocking > Cooling

     

    Just to help posts get more direct help in specific areas of cooling.

     

    Feel free, and please ad your thoughts guys.

    Re: Sub forum suggestions.

    OK, here goes my ideas after chatting with GmsCool about it...

    Current:

    Computer Building & Upgrades>Cooling

    Computer Building & Upgrades>OverClocking

    Computer Building & Upgrades>Video

    Computer Building & Upgrades>CPU's/Processors

    This doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to me because if you are talking about 'Overclocking' or 'Cooling', you are already talking about a specific type of hardware (i.e Video Card or CPU). Therefore, if your a talking about a specific type of hardware then you should really be under that hardware's sub forum. 'Cooling' and 'Overclocking' seem out of place at the 'Hardware' level.

    Option 1:

    Computer Building & Upgrades>Video>Cooling

    Computer Building & Upgrades>Video>OverClocking

    Computer Building & Upgrades>CPU's/Processors>Cooling

    Computer Building & Upgrades>CPU's/Processors>OverClocking

    Here when you are talking about CPU Cooling, you in the CPU sub forum and when you are talking about Video Overclocking, you are under the Video sub forum. This seems like the most logical locations for them.

    Option 2:

    Computer Building & Upgrades>Video>Cooling/Overclocking

    Computer Building & Upgrades>CPU's/Processors>Cooling/Overclocking

    What are people primarily talking about when they are talking about Overclocking?... Cooling. Because Cooling and Overclocking are so intertwined maybe discussion about them should be in the same sub forum. This is not perfect because Cooling does occur outside the realm of Overclocking; but I still think it's an improvement over what exists currently.

    /my 2 cents.
