    UK Bench Meet #2 | 28-30th April 2017

    in Announce event and group sessions

    Posted · Edited by gavbon

    Hey guys, now that I'm moved into my new office, will be holding an open bench meet for those wanting to join me for a weekend of benching fun.

     

    UK Bench Meet #2 Details:

     

    Date - Friday 28th - Sunday 30th April 2017

    Location - Liverpool, United Kingdom

    Benching Type - Liquid Nitrogen/DICE (if you want to order some)

     

    If people wish to come, they will need to bring their own keyboards, mice, monitors, hardware, flasks etc. I will have space for up to 10 people, so space will be limited of course as you may understand, it's an office and not a warehouse.

     

    There is ample parking available and it's not too far from Liverpool city centre for those wanting to use public transport. People are also welcome to crash at the office if they don't want to get a hotel, but I must make aware that it can get cold so bring a sleeping bag/duvet/pillows/airbeds as the floor is wooden laminate.

     

    People will need to contribute to LN2 cost and the amount ordered will depend on the amount of people coming. Free internet/Wi-Fi will be provided (broadband) and the event will be streamed on Twitch.tv via my 4G dongle. I also ask people please kindly contribute something towards the electric used as it comes out of my pocket, although not mandatory; if you're benching 4-way GPU, you most deffo will be haha

     

    There is currently 85l worth of dewars here (mine and Lawrences), so if you have one and you want to come, it would be a good idea to either fill up and bring, or bring before the LN2 delivery is made so it's cheaper to fill up. We can rent them from Mansfiend Cryo at a cost of £100 per 50l dewar rented and filled.

     

    Please post below if you want to come so I can add your name to the list!

    Hi Gavbon,

    I'm a novice when it comes to hardcore overclocking, I'm just playing around with TECS a bit at the minute.

     

    Would I be able to bring some stuff up to have a go at benching dry ice if you do another meet?

    I'm scared to try it on my own without someone who knows what they are doing showing me first.

    Also does anyone know where I can get a pot?

    All the sites that sell them always say they are out of stock plus they are abroad.

     

    Thanks

     

    I see no problem with that at all!

     

    Starting to plan the next one now that I have moved to a better office!

     

    Defo up for joining the next one aswell!!

     

    <3 awesome!

     

    Sure you both are very welcome to join in. As for pots check the classified section here or place a wanted add, they do occaisionaly come up on ebay so keep looking!

    A very good way to get into subzero benching is with a phase unit, although these can be costly but some bargains can be had but still work out cheaper for time used when overclocking at subzero temps, a very good learning platform imo. Or of course come along to the next bench meet and try for yourselves, lots of info available so please do ask.

     

    Phase is a great way to get into it, sustainable, re-usable whenever you want and more importantly, great for 775 chips as you can get some really good scores!

    Interesting, I am fully open to have more people participating into this, this be on the channels, twitch teams or the likes.

     

    Interesting comment as well as we are open to have anyone to stream on the OCTV channel for this purpose :), same for hosting or re-hosting content from people that do not want to pay anymore for their hosting or have less time to manage it.

     

    Everything was always in Creative Commons and free to use, free to share and usually do not feature any copyright logo, also there was no ads on the OCTV side whatsoever (like no banner ads etc.)

     

    If anyone want to stream more content, that be stream, videos or guides, just hit me up.

     

    Feel free to invite Gavbon to your Overclocking Twitch network...I will gladly accept!

    Your stream quality is not bad, but if you want more money you have to have an audience to back it up. How long have you guys been doing streaming now? And the viewership is still not picking up? Maybe time to go back to the drawing board?

     

    ^This

     

    Maybe it's time to open it up a little/diversify the OC content a bit more? Instead of 150 different OC streamers fighting for the same small audience, why not take them all and get them on your Twitch partnership network?

     

    That way, you have the hub for the best OC related live streams all in one place; yours?

    Be the one for many, not the many for one :D

    Hey guys/gals

     

    Me and a couple of the UK benchers will be benching Kaby Lake and socket 775 chips over the weekend of 20th-22nd of Jan.

     

    Myself, ObscureParadox and Jumper118 (all from the UK) will be having one of the first UK based group sessions of this 2017 and hopefully will pave the way for even more.

     

    The UK scene has been pretty slow for whatever reason, but I think it's good that benchers from different parts of the country can come together and bench as a group; chasing globals, having fun and getting drunk :D

     

    Will be live streaming the event on Twitch.tv and would be awesome if the XOC community could maybe watch, get involved and help support our dwindling OC scene.

     

    Here is a link to the event on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/events/1845945108985982/

     

    We are even discussing the possibility of taking a car load to Poitiers and having some UK guys compete in the HWBot World Tour - Watch this space :D
