modding

Making custom modifications to hardware or software. The term may refer to creating a unique artistic case for a PC, increasing its speed by overclocking the CPU or adding a more powerful cooling system. It may also refer to revising software in some unusual manner, typically dealing with open source software. See overclock and mod.



Fancy Plumbing
After 45 years in the business, in 2004, Alan Freedman, creator of this Encyclopedia, finally became a modder, albeit a mild one. He created an ultra-quiet PC with a Zalman (www.zalmanusa.com) water cooling system that takes the heat from the chips, allowing a much quieter case fan to be used. Water is pumped in a closed loop from the external radiator (blue) to the CPU and then to the GPU on the display adapter. The tube runs around the front of the case to a flow indicator.
