Taipei, Taiwan, December 29, 2023 – Illuminate your insights with BENCHLAB, the cutting-edge, real-time system telemetry solution engineered for PC DIY enthusiasts brought to you by Open Benchtable and ElmorLabs.
BENCHLAB allows you to effortlessly monitor critical system metrics, including temperature, power usage, and voltage levels, as well as conveniently manage system fan speeds. The telemetry data is displayed in the BENCHLAB software where you can also log it to a file or export to HWiNFO.
“We’re very proud to extend the functionality of the Open Benchtable with a powerful tool like BENCHLAB,” said Pieter-Jan Plaisier, Open Benchtable co-founder. “The BENCHLAB helps our customers keep track of vital system telemetry during test sessions.”
“ElmorLabs is thrilled to partner with Open Benchtable on the innovative BENCHLAB project,” said Jon Sandström, ElmorLabs founder. “Our joint effort has resulted in a sophisticated yet user-friendly telemetry solution that not only provides real-time data but also enhances the overall experience for PC builders and enthusiasts.”
BENCHLAB Key Features
BENCHLAB ensures complete visibility over your system’s power consumption by providing comprehensive power measurement for 24-pin ATX, 8-pin EPS, 6+2-pin PCIE, and 12+4-pin 12VHPR connectors.
In addition, the BENCHLAB voltage measurement system features one ±18V differential and twelve 0-4V single-ended channels which enables you to keep a close eye on voltage fluctuations, guaranteeing stable and secure operation.
To keep track of the thermal operating conditions, BENCHLAB’s advanced temperature measurement functionality includes an embedded ambient temperature and humidity sensor, as well as support for four external temperature sensors.
The conveniently integrated fan controller supports up to nine 4-pin PWM fans whose curves can be mapped to any of the temperature sensors via the BENCHLAB software. In case you don’t want to use the software, you can also control the fans using a physical switch.
The BENCHLAB connects to your system via a USB Type-C connector. Once connected, you can use our software to monitor, log to CSV, and export to HWiNFO the system telemetry.
BENCHLAB also features several I/O connections, including a built-in USB hub with 2x USB Type-A for your keyboard, mouse, or other peripherals. Three 2-pin connects can be used for specialty functions such as power on and reset. Last but not least, an special port is reserved for future expansion capabilities.
The BENCHLAB seamlessly fits any full size BC1 Open Benchtable and squeezes neatly underneath your system. Thirty ARGB LED fitted on the backside of the PCB provides you with a stunning, customizable visual backdrop.
BENCHLAB is Now Available for US$239 (Incl. Shipping)
BENCHLAB is now available for pre-order from the official web shop as well as through Open Benchtable and ElmorLabs. It is set to ship globally starting from January 15, 2024. For more information and pre-orders, visit the official BENCHLAB website.
The Open Benchtable project is a community-driven collaboration that started in 2015 between HWBOT, Overclocking-TV and Streacom to create a truly exceptional benchtable, one that redefines the product category and towers above current offerings in terms of portability, aesthetics, quality and design. https://openbenchtable.com/.

With this blog post we would like to inform you that due to the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will be halting all shipments from our Chinese warehouses starting September 29 until October 5.
What is the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival? The Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is a cherished cultural holiday celebrated by millions of people in China and across the world. It traditionally falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, which this year falls on September 29. Families come together to celebrate, enjoy mooncakes, and appreciate the beauty of the full moon. It’s a time for reflection, reunion, and sharing with loved ones.
Impact on Shipping Services As this festival is a significant cultural event, it leads to temporary disruptions in various services, including shipping. Many of our suppliers, warehouses, and shipping partners in China will be observing this holiday, and this may affect the processing and delivery of orders during this period.
What to Expect
Delays: Please be prepared for potential delays in order processing and shipment. Orders placed around the Mid-Autumn Festival period may experience slightly longer processing times than usual.
Customer Support: Our customer support team will remain available to assist you with any inquiries or concerns you may have. Feel free to reach out to us, and we will do our best to provide you with timely updates on your order status.
If your purchase is time-sensitive, we recommend placing your order as soon as possible to account for the potential delays during the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival period. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we celebrate this important cultural festival.
The entire XWORKS team wishes you a joyous and memorable Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival filled with warmth and togetherness. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our customer support team.

The Open Benchtable team is thrilled to share a must-see video by top tech-tuber Jayztwocents. In the video, Jayz details his experience with the Open Benchtable BC1 V2, from purchasing to installation. The video showcases the benchtable in all its glory and provides a glowing review.
We want to take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Jayztwocents and his team for their support and kind words. Seeing our products receive such positive feedback is incredibly gratifying, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
We would also like to thank all our customers who have purchased the product following Jayz’s review. We appreciate your business and are thrilled that you are enjoying our product. As a result of the surge in sales, our stock levels are now lower than expected. We have a fresh batch of Open Benchtable V2’s coming soon, so we don’t expect to run out of stock entirely.
We also want to remind our customers that the Open Benchtable project is a community-driven collaboration that started in 2015 between HWBOT, Overclocking-TV, and Streacom. Our mission was to create a genuinely exceptional benchtable that redefines the product category and towers above any other offerings in terms of portability, aesthetics, quality, and design. The product is also available in retail channels as the Streacom BC1. The only difference between the BC1 and OBT is that the Open Benchtable ships with a travel sleeve and is exclusively available from our website.
Thank you again to Jayztwocents and our valued customers for your support, and we look forward to bringing you more quality.

Based on customer requests, we now also made available compatible buttons for purchase on our web store. Both buttons come with an embedded white LED, have a black heat shrink cable wrap, and measure 60cm.
Specifications:
Button color: white
Cable color: black

Cable length: 60cm

The power and reset button are available on our store starting today on our store.
As the Chinese New Year 2022 celebrations are about to get underway, we’d like to inform you about the impact the festivities will have on shipments and order processing.
Our China-based logistic partners will not process orders between January 20 and February 14. The online store and customer support are not affected and will be available throughout the period. Barring any unfortunate circumstances such as a resurgence of the coronavirus, we expect operations to resume gradually after the celebration period. All orders placed during the celebration period will be processed once the logistics team is back in action.
The entire Open Benchtable team wishes you Xīnnián kuàilè (新年快樂) (a happy New Year). May the Year of the Tiger bring great strength and prosperity to you and your families!
The Year of the Tiger will be about making big changes. This will be a year of risk-taking and adventure. We’re finding enthusiasm again, both for ourselves and for others. Everyone is fired up, generosity is at an all-time high and social progress feels possible again.
