A Small Benching Party coming up at Buckeye's

[Buckeye]

I thought I would make a post on a little gathering of a few people I have planned coming up on the weekend of the 25th.

This will be at my home so somewhat limited space and resources, it will not be a Team Finland, XS or Kinpgin style benching event but still it will be a lot of fun :taunt:

The plan is right now to bench with the 2 Stage Cascade and LN2. I have a AMD TWKR cpu here now for others to get a chance to bench on, plus my Classified and Core I7 chips and other goodies that might be brought down for fun.

I do have a very special item coming which I made a few hints at and I am very excited about that, stay tuned for more info on it. Eta for that is end of next week, early part of the week after, hopefully sooner. This is a very exciting benching tool and something that is just way to cool LOL.

Invites have gone out and I will post up some names here soon, a few more are still working on it or thinking about it.

So my first bench party will be happing soon and I am very much looking forward to it !

Stay tuned for more info !

[Chuchnit]

So can you give us a teaser of who's gonna be there? Maybe a short list?

[Buckeye]

It's still a ways off and I believe a few are making plans but it will be hard for them. I don't want to put any pressure on them incase they can't make it. They can post if they want to.

There are 3 others in the trying to make it Q

So as it stands now... Shannon, Jake - Cpt Planet and a friend of Jakes from what he said, not 100% sure on the friend.

That would be 6 people including myself, not sure if I can fit anymore in my benching area if all show up.

[HITandRUN]

Hey Buckeye great to hear you doing this! I wish I could show up to this but I'll be gone in Europe on vac. I'm planning something similar yearly next year in a more commercial area like a hotel conference room (NY). I love to see people benching together and learning from each other along with a few beers. This is what it’s all about! Keep it up.:thumbsup: :D

You said it. If I had one bone to pick with overclocking, its that we all live so far apart. I would love to have a OCA bench party, but tickets to HI are alot more expensive than the ln2 that would be burned. ohcrap

BTW, where in NY are you located? I got one of my best friends who lives in Silver Creek right below Buffalo. He keeps buggin' the hell outa me to come see him. When I do, I'll for sure be pestering Karmakazi to lemme use his big dewar :D

[Kal-EL]

All in good time Chuchnit, we'll be having our own anual OCA Top Clockers Bench Party on someone elses tab, trust me.

[punx223]

Welll the P45's were pretty much epic fail as my EP45 was really flakey and found later it had a bant pin :thumbdown:


jakes Ud5 extreme almost hit 6ghz for a validation, something just wasnt meant to be for intel.

Now we are moving on to the AMD's heres the pics of the intel benching though

[Buckeye]

Well everyone has gone, a bit early actually as LN2 was starting to run low. Yup we used over 100L's of LN2. Had afew problems with the Dewars and stuff but had a great time.

A lot of stuff to go through and I am really tired right now so expect a more complete post tomorrow.

Was really great getting a chance to meet Lee, Nick and George for the first time, had a great time with him !

More tomorrow

Me, Nick, Jake, Shannon and George - ocgmj from NBOC

[Buckeye]

Ok so here is a little on the benching party this weekend

I am telling you these guys are RABID benchers, they could smell LN2 clear from LA and wasted no time after getting off of work to make the 7 hour drive to my place. Yup that put them at my house at a little before 1:00am on Saturday morning… Good Grief !!

There was no knock on the door, it just flew open and they ran in and spread equipment out all over the place, it looked like a totally deranged computer shop with rabid over clockers tearing things apart and acting like they knew what they were doing, well Jake anyway ;)

I let them go at it and first thing up was a E8600 race between Shannon & Nick. The race heated up a lot and was neck and neck for a long time, until Jake came in and gave aid to Nick which pushed him past Shannon. Shannon had a few problems with a fan also, see the pic :)

These guys went solid for something like 18 hours with very few breaks. I would have to sit down and almost fall asleep until someone would pour some LN2 down my back and wake me up.

All in all everything went pretty good. We did have a few problems with LN2 tho.

My 50L is a low pressure Dewar and I have always had problems getting liquid LN2 out right after its been filled, it seem sto take a long time to get pressure up so that liquid will start to flow.

When I filled up the 50 the day before all was going good until the 50 got close to being full, then I noticed only gas was coming out the fill tube so I stopped. Next day I called Airgas and was told that there was a pressure valve on top of the 160L that was used to control the pressure in it. They said to start filling and turn that valve open so that pressure doesn’t drop. It would allow the 160L to build to 22psi instead of the 10psi that was normal for it. Well that didn’t work out very well after all and I thinks 160L is low pressure Dewar also.

So later the next day we filled the 50L and tried to get liquid from the 160L with Thermos. That just resulted in a lot of spray and liquid was hard to get out. So that kind of shut us down in the very late afternoon of Saturday.

The guys left kind of tired after I threw them out of the house, by force. Sorry everyone :)

Cgmj came around noon and missed a lot of benching, very sorry about that. But he hung in there like a trooper, prepped his board up and started benching on LN2 for his very first time. Big Kudos to him for making the long drive to bench here, was great meeting you George !!

Lee showed up and was actually a pretty cool guy. He didn’t scream very much when we dipped his hand in a pot full of LN2. He keep trying to run off with the bottle of vodka and we would have to chase him down. It was all ok tho as he came with two boxes full of homemade cookies, Thanks Lee !

Well here are a bunch of pic’s of it, in no order as I am too tired to sort it all LOL.
