    [Review] HotHardware : Open-Source Open-Air PC Building Done Right

    in OBT / BC1 Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Trouffman

    Chris Goetting at HotHardware did a review of the BC1, here is what he have to say about it :

    Open-Source Open-Air PC Building Done Right

     

    Overall, we are enamored with the Streacom BC1 Open Benchtable - there is so much it does right. If forced to find flaws, the biggest pain point we encountered - after actually reading the instructions - was a lack of a ninth pushpin style motherboard standoff. Okay, really that just tugs at our OCD, but we’d rather see an extra pushpin style standoff stashed in each leg. We would rather have too many than to not have enough.

     

    Once you know its tricks, the build process becomes exceedingly quick and simple. There’s no fluff. There’s no flair. It doesn’t need gimmicks to deliver; it just needs to work and that’s exactly what it does. The Streacom BC1 Open Benchtable earns an easy Editor's Choice from us.

    Insulation mattress for Extreme OC

    in OBT / BC1 Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Trouffman

    Even tho it is not necessary to have this for Extreme OC doing a Neoprene mattress that would fit perfectly between the mobo and the base of the Benchtable could be fun and useful.

     

    What should be in it and what should not be missed ?

     

    Some ideas :

    - pre-cutted holes for the spacers

    - Pre cutted Square space below the CPU socket (to allow for different heights of CPU mounting system / backplate to be used.)

    @Roman : what is the dimension of the backplate on the Fusion / The new one ?

    -Space to have Shop towel between the motherboard and the insulation

     

    - Foam split in 2 part to adjust depending on the height of the backplate.

     

    Size suggestion :

    - 255 * 315mm : this give overall a 5mm extra on each sides and should not limit any systeme to be plugged.

    - 25mm height : that is the size of the Spacer

     

    Materials :

    - Armaflex

    - Shop Towel

     

    System to produce : Waterjet cutting

     

    Update : Looking for motherboard blueprints

     

    Update 2 :

    I am doing an analysis of the socket position on about 88+ motherboards.

     

    Update 3 :

    Easy way to contribute and submit measurement

    What an event !

     

    That was really great to see so many faces and a pleasure to do the stream.

     

    Good discussion with Alva on the state of OC, funny talk with Christian, glad to see Paolo catching up on English even that is too bad he ended up 4th while being all on its way to the gold final ! DrWeez rocked it and along with Alva never stopped smiling, keep smiling guys !

     

    The new guy bene and DSLR came in like a bang shaking the qualifier ranking, that spiced up the day !

     

    Marc0053, you deserve that title of winner of the world championship I am sure the the guys at OCN are proud of.you, the past 4month have been intense in terms of research and sharing information. Congrats !

     

    See you in 2017 !

    Recommended "case" fan for BC1 as HTPC

    in OBT / BC1 Discussion

    Posted

    It would depend onb your CPU, I would definetly avoid a Tower design and go more for a Low-Profile one for the CPU Cooler :

    The Famous Noctua NH-L12 is big but efficient, they have the NH-L9i is cas eyou have a low-power CPU. Themrlaright have some too (cannot remenber the product name tho)

     

    There is no compatibility issue with the cooler as far as we tested witht he BC1 as there are a lot more space between the table and the motherboard.

     

    For a extraction Fan, you could pick any low-RPM Fan that would do the work, no need to have high-RPM nor High Airflow to push the hot air "out" at the back.

     

    Got pics of your setup ?

    Rule discussion; Multiple accounts

    in Offtopic

    Posted

    I would gladly argue on the real source of this and still not allow multiuple account (as this is a workaround).

     

    Multiple account is not the objectiv but the workaround. The leagues are not supposed to be bonded only by cooling type to compare, but by access to hardware and Skills.

     

    So addressing the Leagues requirement / activations would be more useful IMHO.

    Who are you to decide what is mandatory or not ? Seriously ? I believe you should have zero authority in deciding anything in the hwbot community but seems i am wrong and decisions are made by a few privileged people....

     

    Since when opinion you don't agree with are always dismissed this way. Oh wait... Always been like this...

     

    Indeed you really need to chillout. I don't know what you got against me but acting like this just make you look like a fool.

     

    Is not about screenshots... Not about online but about integration and positiv dynamic within the OC World, on that matter it seems you still have a lot to learn.

     

    Chill, relax and have fun

    PISS ON THAT

    screenshots or GTFO

     

    Screensgot is sssoooo retarded IMHO...

     

    Important is the data/ Info's of all the settings... Screenshot is just a way of having it, but definitely not the solution.
