That's right folks, we here in the Humboldt chapter of OCF are throwing a short notice pocket sized benching party! We have LN2, we have Dry Ice, we have hardware!

I'd like to take a brief moment to thank our sponsors!
Thank you to TsunamiJuan for donating the LN2!
Thank you to Bobnova for donating the Dry Ice!

And uhh, yeah, that's it. Told you it'd be a brief moment!

On a more useful note, we're planning on dual benching stations and dual streams, TJ will likely be doing a lot of AMD Llano, while I'll be running as many GPUs cold as I can shake a stick at.

Rough HW list, everything is voltmodded unless specified otherwise:


4850 (no CB/CBB)
4890 Reference TOP
7600GT
8600 (16sp)
8800gts320
8800gtx

Couple-few 2600ks, unmodded
Gigabyte P67a-UD4 for me, maybe my Z68X-UD3 as well. Neither modded.
TJ has a variety of Llano boards, also an Asus socket754 board.

Cooling hardware:

TJ's Phase Change Thing.
Koolance V2, x2.
KingPinCooling Tek9Fat GPU pot.
BobnovaBuilt ObscureGPUPot rev1.
Air coolers and stuff.
BobnovaBuilt High Amp PWM Controller.



Should be enough to keep us busy! I will be updating this post with the stream(s) when they're live
 
now thats more like it. fair warning.
when you go live, have a nice warm-up band overclocking, so us fassonably late folks get to see something more than "stream not active"
then have the performers stick around to talk to the audience after the performace, before running off to the green room :)

I will see if i can scalp some tickets out front :)
 
lol, sounds like a plan!

We'll likely be going all day, or something close to it.
30 liters of LN2 and 18lbs of DIce should last a bit.

EDIT:
Actually I think you just volunteered to the warmup band!
Or maybe I should stream my pot "machining".
 
Theres still alot of prepwork for the both of us probably. Theres even the chance for some impromptu conformal coating, thought that part probably wont be streamed. My hardware list for the day as follows.

Asus, Gigabyte, and Biostar - socket Fm1, AMD A75(hudson D3 chipset) Motherboards
1x AMD Llano 3850 APU
1x Gigabyte 6970
1x Asus 460 GTX
1x AMD 64 3200+ and mobo(volt modded by Bobnova himself)
2x I7 2600k (one clocks to 5899mhz, the other who knows :D)
1x Asus P8p67 mobo
1x BFG 280Gtx

All on a mix of Air, ln2, DIce, SS phase change.

Power -
1050 Enermax Revolution 85+
900watt Antec 4 Rail psu
460watt Antec Earthwatts (for the small stuff)
550watt Antec 20pin psu for AMD 64, 3200+

May God have Mercy on our souls, and not let our hardware die on us :D

what am i going to do, show them how Wallpapers of the arctic make my computer look really Cool :)

I might not be fascinated by all the setup procedure, but getting there is half the fun, so if you stream putting on the waterproofing, and stream the setups and all, we can still put it in the dvd Extras :)
 
This should be a great session!

Ill be there. Unless the wife wants to go shopping. But she may just have to go alone. ;)
 
More important question is: Where the hell is the stream?
.... NVM... I just opened the stream pages again and got them going.
