Elmor and Skatterbencher Visit

We are a collective of ambitious Engineering students competing in liquid nitrogen overclocking competitions and developing custom solutions for thermal management, power draw, hardware, software, and ease of use.

Currently we are the only college in the U.S. to have a dedicated overclocking team. We have operated for 7 years, building knowledge and techniques over that time.

With a team of over 25 students we have a variety of disciplines of engineers ranging from mechanical to electronic engineering and everything in between. Pie Chart

We are currently developing tools such as a controllable heated LN2 Pot, custom LN2 pots with integrated Leidenfrost reducing plates, and a custom lightweight OS. Along with that we are building show stopper pieces such as a passively cooled immersion pc cased and custom 3d printed cases.

We currently have 25+ members actively engaging in overclocking and these projects to build their skills both for competition and for the job market. This is with an experimentalist mindset where we actively test and improve with data we have collected.

Legacy: Where it all started

As we are halfway through the last term of the 2023 to 2024 academic year I’d like to spend some time to show what this club looked like 8 years ago and its humble beginnings. Overview OSU Overclocking was founded as a competition-based outlet for students interested in electronics packaging and thermal management. The founders identified a need for students who wanted experiential learning opportunities that would directly enable them to be impactful in tech jobs on day one.

Scatterbencher & Elmor Labs

On April 20th, OSU Overclocking had the opportunity to host Scatterbencher & Elmor Labs’ Pieter and Jon. Coined “the Lebron James and Kobe Bryant of overclocking” by our club president Walker, they 100% lived up to the hype. Alongside the experience being a blast, we were able to take a lot of insight away from their experience in overclocking. One of our most prominent takeaways from their visit was their framework for setting world-records.

G.Skill Comp Prep Work

The big event for there year is upon us! Thanks to our partners we are setup to a shot at qualifying for the top 9 in this years G.Skill World Cup. We are attempting to qualify 3 to 4 members on separate hardware. These members will be competing on Intel’s latest 13th and 14th gen processors paired with ASUS Z790 Apex Encore board’s we are setup to give those competing a serious run for their money.

Leidenfrost Pot Dev Update

Our Leidenfrost pot team is nearing completion on the first stage of development of our own custom pot design to accept Leidenfrost reducing plates to help improve the heat transfer from the copper heatsink/pot to the LN2 by facilitating a reduction in the Leidenfrost effect. Images of the iterations of pot design and the current machined copper block: The Leidenfrost effect is the when a fluid encounters a hotplate, and the rapid boiling of the liquid creates a gas vapor layer between the liquid and the hot plate.
