We are at the end, or, the beginning. It depends on how we look at it, whether from the perspective of last year or the new year (2025). In any case, at this moment it is important to express our gratitude for the support of all those who care not only about our magazine, but above all about making computer hardware knowledge move up the priority list. In this article, we will briefly look back at the past and also take a little look into the future.<\/p>\n

As we wrap up the year, here’s a recap of some of the things that happened from January to December (2024). What we feel is important to communicate to you, our readers. We are able to function because you visit HWCooling and are “Hungry for Knowledge<\/strong>“. So first of all, thanks for the support, we really appreciate it and we believe that the best proof of this statement are the hundreds of detailed articles that we have been able to publish. And now to what we have managed, what we are working on, but also to where we couldn’t catch up (but we will :)).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A number of things have happened that will change and do change HWCooling. But we believe it will be for the better. The expansion of the editorial team by Adam Vagner<\/a> will mainly mean an influx of graphics card tests and related topics. We did cover graphics cards in detail on HWCooling before Adam’s arrival, but due to limited capacity we can probably talk about it as something sporadic rather than regular. From now on, there will definitely be more tests of graphics cards and more tests from the “cooling” areas as well. That means more fan tests, more cooler tests, more case tests and so on. This is due to rearrangement of the workload, where \u013dubo (Sam\u00e1k)<\/a> drops the workload on graphics card tests (these were taken over by Adam V.<\/a>), which also creates space for new topics \u2013 CPU coolers and computer cases.<\/p>\n

The above topics were discussed in our tests by Pavel Sekerka<\/a> (CPU Coolers<\/a>) and Martin Bedn\u00e1r<\/a> (PC cases<\/a>), but both of those authors have finished working with us in 2024. More or less for family reasons and other priorities, and both departures came about after long term responsible planning. So no, we didn’t fire anyone, and both former colleagues have our editorial doors open in the future should they wish to return. But the plan at the moment is as we describe above. You won’t lose the CPU cooler or PC case tests, they will just be under a different author.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An important milestone in 2024 were the live events (HWCooling Techtour<\/a>) that we have started to organise in technical secondary schools. We see a great meaning in them, because we can bring something to a new generation of young people that will help all of us in the future, the whole society. The aim is to raise the level of computer hardware education, to inspire enthusiasm in students \u2013 a passion for professional development \u2013 and thus to provide schools with something that they are so lacking. The world premiere of Intel Arrow Lake processors in the cinema hall of SP\u0160T<\/a> was truly electrifying at times. And we experienced similar moments together with students and representatives of companies at secondary technical schools in \u017dilina<\/a> and in Liptovsk\u00fd Hr\u00e1dok<\/a>. We then developed teaching aids for these schools, which will greatly contribute to the effectiveness of the learning processor. All this is, of course, extremely time-consuming, but we believe that with the support of the official bodies shaping the level of education in our country, we will manage everything and the bar will be raised in this direction as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the magazine activities in 2025, you will therefore be able to look forward to more tests of all kinds interspersed with the traditional news reports of Jan Ol\u0161an. So hold on to your hats! And yes, thanks to the initiative of a loyal reader nicknamed “the patient”, we’ll soon have new interactive charts with responsive breadth. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Finally, on to what didn’t quite go right \u2013 ATX 3.0 PSU tests<\/a>. We did the measurements<\/a>, except that the year 2024 went by too fast and we couldn’t get around to processing the material. We’ll fix that as soon as we can, though. Anyway, I consider this to be a major personal failing which has well highlighted the gaps in planning that we have, but we need to address them for the future.<\/p>\n

The editors of HWCooling wish all knowledge fans a very succesful year in 2025.<\/p>\n
