Thermal Grizzly Officially Launches der8enchtable

With the der8enchtable, Thermal Grizzly presents a professional benchtable with an active PCB, developed in collaboration with Jon "elmor" Sandström (ElmorLabs) and Roman "der8auer" Hartung (CEO of Thermal Grizzly, engineer, overclocker, and content creator). The der8enchtable is packed with features that simplify hardware testing, making it an invaluable asset for overclockers, content creators, hardware testers, and PC enthusiasts.

During Computex 2025, the der8enchtable was unveiled to the public and sparked significant interest—especially in the content-creation community. TechPowerUp magazine honored the der8enchtable with the "Best of Computex 2025 - Editor's Choice" award, and ArabOverclockers named it "Best of Computex 2025." The der8enchtable is now available.
The der8enchtable combines a classic benchtable—a frame design with integrated radiator and power-supply mounts—with an active PCB. Optimized for easy and, above all, fast reconfiguration during PC hardware testing, the der8enchtable offers numerous features:
  • Professional benchtable with active PCB
  • Developed in collaboration with ElmorLabs and der8auer
  • 3+1 control zones for fans and AIOs
  • Supports SSD, USB, or microSD for OS and test software
  • Compact, modular, and user-friendly frame design
  • Compatible with air and AIO coolers
  • A-RGB lighting
Most notable are the fan and AIO controllers, which allow hardware testing under consistent conditions. Test software and operating systems can be loaded from solid-state drives (SSDs) or microSD cards; the latter offer a cost-effective alternative to SSDs in terms of price per gigabyte. Input devices can also be connected directly to the der8enchtable. The der8enchtable's PCB connects to the motherboard via a 9-pin USB header for data and is powered by the PSU via a 6-pin PCIe connector.

Availability and Pricing
Thermal Grizzly der8enchtable is now available for order directly from the Thermal Grizzly Online Shop. The Thermal Grizzly der8enchtable is priced at €229,90/$268.98 inc. VAT.

Oh my, that actually looks really nice, IMHO. Wish I were still into benching and competitive overclocking—I’d pick one of these up in a heartbeat.

I can hear @W1zzard getting on the phone to Der8auer right now and asking for one for review.

I will need 2 since I have 2 cats and they will just fight over who gets to sleep on it.

They already asked for the shipping address :)

Just ordered one myself. Looks like this will replace (succeed?) my QUBE 500 that is currently in test bench mode.

Am I missing something here? I can easily see why an overclocker or benchmarker would want one of these-- but Thermal Grizzly claims they saw the most interest from "content creators". Come again?

Maybe for reviewers or show cases. A lot of that kind of content especially on youtube.

This was my thoughts. Every youtuber and Twitch streamer has a "gaming" pc with tons of RGB and bling. This would stand out to people as something different and possibly make their content more engaging.

What's the purpose of this again aside from using an open air test bench as is?

For me personally, I already do a lot testing on an open air test bench. This helps a lot because I connect a lot of equipment that I remove and install a lot. SPECIFICALLY the ports. It isn't as glamorous as LN2 benchmarking or doing sponsored stuff from some OEM, but specifically suffered from USB issues and SATA housing getting a bit loose. Things like this help me because it is less for me to connect and disconnect. I dont even replace the mobo, but I have to get things out of the way when modifying the cooler, or GPUs or testing new configurations for disks.

I am always working with server boards. So losing one or damaging one gets expensive so things like this are a cheap investment. Didn't bat an eye.

Thats just one perspective though, im sure others do way cooler shit.

What are some good test bench options more generally? Had been leaning toward getting the one Phil's Computer Lab uses but the company that made it (High Speed PC) has gone out of business. Once upon a time I'd go to an Amazon or eBay just to get an overview of what's available but they're flooded with so many randomly generated brands nowadays.

I'd like this thing even outside of "Overclocking & Mega Bar Generation (MBG)." And the price is very good. Not outrageous. I expected something different.

Regards, Fred.

I've been using the one I have for over 15 years now, it's still holding up well.
I've even used it as part of my daily setup before, did that until I finally got a case for that purpose. After that it's been used strictly for benching stuff as originally intended in my case of useage but overall, I must say I'd get another one if I had to for either use.

Nice! A worthy successor to the Masterframe :)

Looks good, but I can't get the idea out of my head that the big "B" with a circle is a bitcoin symbol, lol.

I've been using an old, hacked-up PC case as an open-air test-bench (ripped off the panels and just screwed in wood stands to the motherboard tray), but this might be tempting just for being able to already have a basic OS loaded for testing purposes instead of having it dangle off an SSD sitting on the table, and having all the essential connections already on the bench for a quick stress test and a longer endurance test.

I'm not an OC'er by any means, but I do use my ghetto test-bench to test new or used mobos, CPUs, and GPUs bought online right as they're delivered to make sure they work, before putting them into a proper case and investing in all the accessories needed.

GerKNGi hope it better than the BC1 V2 (which is awful...)
Can you explain why you don't like it ?
