00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:06.480
welcome to the build log of the compensator 2 it's been a little bit

00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:10.440
over a year since the original compensator video was released and there

00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:15.440
have been improvements across the board in terms of CPU cores graphics card

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:19.279
performance memory speed tons of different stuff and we have it all here

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:23.439
the idea of the compensator is that there are no compromises in terms of any

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:28.279
of our components as long as you can just buy them on a shelf and throw them

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:33.520
in your computer this video isn't as crazy as it used to be because now it's

00:00:31.400 --> 00:00:41.760
fairly common place for us to have like 30 or 70 or even more thousand computers

00:00:37.480 --> 00:00:41.760
but compensator 2 let's

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.520
go thanks to gskill for helping make compensator 2 possible check out their

00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:56.760
gaming mouse and keyboard down in the video description I do need like gloves of

00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:01.199
some sort do we have gloves that moment when you need gloves because even your

00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:10.400
RAM has brushed alum on it that moment when they also don't fit 128 gigs of

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:14.840
gskill trident said or Z or whatever you

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:18.200
want to call it 3200 MHz so on our last

00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:22.240
build we had the Leon Lee

00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:24.799
PC8 this is the Leon Lee

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:29.640
pc9 so I guess we'll see how different it is while the PC8 says that it's

00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:34.759
compatible with triple Reds it's only like kind

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:38.200
of and uh I have the same cooler again

00:01:34.759 --> 00:01:40.680
so hopefully it goes better this time oh

00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:45.360
look at those feet it smells new seriously friend smell

00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:52.360
this what uh there's no air intakes on this

00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:53.840
side of the case so the Kelvin will go

00:01:52.360 --> 00:01:59.920
up here I guess or right here this looks pretty

00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.920
cool

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:09.360
so just like last time they have some included LED strips for the dials on the

00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:13.920
back first I'm going to remove these fans so I can try to line up the cooler

00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:18.720
at all and then we'll go from there now I want to thank fractal Josh I guess

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:24.879
real quick sort of didn't realize the fact that we didn't have a Kelvin

00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:26.800
s36 uh yesterday so contacted Josh and

00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:31.800
was like hey man I need one of those literally tomorrow and I mean he came

00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:35.760
through it's here now I don't know if this is going to work I'm going to run

00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:39.640
this back this way oh Brandon does that look

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:47.400
cool with fan without fan next up I'm

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:53.680
going to remove this big Drive cage which I don't really need at least

00:02:50.440 --> 00:02:56.680
yet and then I'm going to try to figure

00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.840
out how you're supposed to pipe this

00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:03.920
water block if I cut a line down from that no

00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:08.879
one would ever know I was thinking of cutting a line

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:14.400
right here uh so that I could bring this up feed the tubes up through the line so

00:03:12.519 --> 00:03:17.040
they can get up in here hold this up vertically and then install them mother

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:21.959
board cuz yeah what it looks like is that they're like there's no way anyone's going to use an AIO in this

00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:27.560
case yeah but then I did through there

00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:30.360
immediately yeah oh

00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:36.680
okay so we're going to solve our little radiator problem um by cutting through

00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:39.640
our extremely expensive brand new case

00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:42.239
uh so my nerves are through the roof come along with

00:03:44.799 --> 00:03:53.560
me not too bad actually with some minor

00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:56.480
filing work I can maybe make that look

00:03:53.560 --> 00:04:03.640
pretty okay okay that actually looks pretty good not to like toot my horn too

00:04:00.760 --> 00:04:09.000
much or anything watch The Tubes not fit through it didn't really think about

00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:11.000
that part okay we're actually good so

00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:14.000
this will fit up here and then look something like that just in Reverse cuz

00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:20.199
it's going be on the other side of the case and that'll work maybe sort of a

00:04:16.919 --> 00:04:25.160
little bit so now I'm just

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:27.520
installing the fans because uh I really

00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:31.520
want to make sure that this all actually does fit really well before I keep on

00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:35.919
I'm going with the build I was going to install the power supply next but I

00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:40.840
think I'm going to install the motherboard next just cuz I really want

00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:46.639
to get that water block mounted and see how I'm going to have to deal with that

00:04:43.479 --> 00:04:50.600
thing that I cut out this this

00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:53.759
PS2 okay that's cool even though it's

00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:58.280
like a really high-end x99 a suport

00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:00.880
still got PS2 on it I actually love that

00:04:58.280 --> 00:05:04.400
now please tell me this reaches oh

00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:12.720
no oh no oh that's pretty taut isn't it

00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:18.280
this would be the worst if that doesn't fit I will be so

00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:24.319
upset cuz then I would have cut that hole for no reason I knew it was close

00:05:21.080 --> 00:05:26.479
but I thought it made it that socket is

00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:33.079
so low oh no I don't think it makes it

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:50.400
I have a plan not necessarily completely

00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:52.919
ideal but the logo will now be vertical

00:05:50.400 --> 00:06:02.039
I thought I had to do it the other way the logo on G skill stricks and the logo

00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:04.680
on Supreme FX are all also vertical so

00:06:02.039 --> 00:06:09.840
this is just a vertical logo build it was just totally the plan from the

00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:14.039
beginning right guys that's looking all right what do you think next up we have

00:06:12.440 --> 00:06:20.479
to install the ax1500i and all of our custom cable mod

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:22.520
cables oh tolerances on that are really

00:06:20.479 --> 00:06:28.080
close there's also going to be like a gap there what that doesn't look very

00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:33.759
good but I actually can't even install it the other way around or this big

00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:40.880
extra large socket interferes with things on the case so this is just how

00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:44.080
it has to go I screwed up so this is the

00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:46.840
Rampage 5 Edition 10 it's a motherboard

00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:52.360
that can support four graphics cards this is the x99 stricks Edition the one

00:06:50.280 --> 00:06:56.440
that's supposed to go in my personal rig update that we're filming later not the

00:06:54.680 --> 00:07:01.919
one that's supposed to go in compensator I thought it was like a funny coincidence after all of that I have to

00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:05.800
take all the RAM off I have to take that CPU Cooler off after that crazy

00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:10.919
installation have to take the CPU out throw it all on here throw it back in

00:07:09.080 --> 00:07:16.840
and then we're good

00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.840
man this kind of a fun IO

00:07:17.039 --> 00:07:24.199
Shield the goodlooking part of the I Shield is actually on the board already

00:07:21.479 --> 00:07:28.520
so it just kind of slots there and this board is slightly extended that means

00:07:26.520 --> 00:07:35.520
that I have to install the power supply first got these green and black cables

00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:38.520
from cable mod they I believe completely

00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:40.960
match the original cables that we had

00:07:38.520 --> 00:07:46.240
for the very first compensator this will be the bottom graphics card so one nice

00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:51.520
thing about custom cables like this is I can really easily splice off the extra

00:07:48.159 --> 00:07:53.400
wires so I only need the six and the 6

00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:58.280
plus 2 I don't have to use the extra plus two that runs all along with it now

00:07:56.440 --> 00:08:04.560
I'm going to try to have some foresight here and install this cable too I'm

00:08:02.039 --> 00:08:11.599
also going to try to pre-run all the SATA cables tuck all this stuff away

00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:15.639
okay so motherboard install attempt

00:08:11.599 --> 00:08:18.680
number three two three somewhere around

00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:21.120
there I don't know losing track oh

00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:26.039
please tell me this is going to work we're fine right yeah yeah yeah yeah

00:08:24.479 --> 00:08:33.159
yeah okay we're good we're good it's tight it's very tight but it's fine

00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:35.200
nobody's freaking out the problem was

00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:41.159
getting the actual like header block through that was an

00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:45.560
issue whoa from here we got to install some

00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.080
graphics cards and couple other things and we're good to

00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:54.839
go I can't install that here so I'm

00:08:52.000 --> 00:09:00.279
going to unplug the fans all right now you go in there I really hate these

00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:03.680
openings I think they look terrible able one nice thing with the graphics card

00:09:01.959 --> 00:09:07.880
right coming right in here is it'll cover up this cable mess down at the

00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:13.680
bottom okay so let's put in our first Titan it looks so weird with just one

00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.680
card at the

00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:25.760
bottom compensator what's up this looks great

00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:27.800
right so you got to add another one you

00:09:25.760 --> 00:09:31.720
all right okay I'm going to plug this in going to plug in the little extension

00:09:29.079 --> 00:09:37.040
cable and then everything looks terrible I hate it I hate it so much don't order

00:09:34.880 --> 00:09:42.240
the stupid ones that have the loopd doop on them if you don't have to just run

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:47.560
another one look look how nice so much better no say no to loopy doop cables so

00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:55.920
I'm just going to install the uh glass panels just before

00:09:51.640 --> 00:09:57.320
I do the ssds and the fans if it really

00:09:55.920 --> 00:10:02.040
needs lighting I want to figure out where those go before I start finalizing

00:09:59.839 --> 00:10:07.040
the cable management and add a ton of cables by doing the

00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:13.680
ssds before I do this we should see if the computer turns on at

00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:15.640
all okay let's get our ginormous

00:10:13.680 --> 00:10:21.279
cable do we see whoa

00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:25.519
what I didn't know it did that like I knew okay I knew the board

00:10:23.640 --> 00:10:31.320
lit up I didn't know like before it was even turned on that it did some cool

00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:31.320
stuff that's pretty sweet

00:10:31.640 --> 00:10:39.639
okay so especially with the tinted tempered glass on it looks pretty dark

00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:45.680
so I'm probably going to try to add some ambient lighting if I

00:10:45.680 --> 00:10:53.360
can I need it tighter there if you can ignore my ARM

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:55.839
how does that look can you see these

00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.839
does it look

00:10:57.040 --> 00:11:04.000
cool so I'm just removing some of the

00:11:00.160 --> 00:11:08.720
Leon Lee fans putting in some of my

00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:10.720
Noctua fans does it matter not really so

00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:15.880
Leon Lee has a 2 and 1/2 in spot down here and up here and then six 3 and 1/2

00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:20.639
in spots in the middle of the cage that do not naturally convert to 2 and 1/2 if

00:11:17.920 --> 00:11:26.880
you have trays for your ssds you could convert them but someone's like throwing

00:11:22.920 --> 00:11:29.000
ours away or something so I don't

00:11:26.880 --> 00:11:33.079
actually have proper places for the ssds to go so I'm just going to end up like

00:11:30.839 --> 00:11:36.720
dumping them in here this can power my NVMe

00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:42.120
drive I'm going to try to make it stay right about here if I can but for the

00:11:39.959 --> 00:11:46.160
ssds I think I'm just going to end up going with

00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:52.120
like the stack eh too many power

00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:57.920
cables and another one okay so all the ssds have been fed

00:11:55.680 --> 00:12:03.200
power but I need to get the data installed so the there's our SSD spread

00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:08.000
all plugged in data and power that doesn't look that great does it maybe

00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:11.279
these go down here I don't know if I can pull that off but I can

00:12:11.680 --> 00:12:20.880
try the Tower of data okay that's pretty all right cool

00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:29.320
spin okay so the power's in the lights are all configured I only have one more

00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:32.000
panel to put on

00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:38.360
what okay hold up hold up hold up I can solve this did someone unplug me

00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:38.360
no

00:12:41.160 --> 00:12:49.360
um oh okay this power supply the the

00:12:45.160 --> 00:12:52.639
power symbol is off and the one is on I

00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:54.360
it's not H all right it is the next day

00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:58.639
and it is benchmarking time everything's up and running the system is wicked fast

00:12:56.959 --> 00:13:01.480
due to the raate array and the NVMe drives and what what not we got a bunch

00:13:00.160 --> 00:13:06.519
of benchmarks installed and we're going to redo some from last time and do some

00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:14.600
new ones okay so we got 1748 ah yes better than 99% of all

00:13:10.560 --> 00:13:16.279
results frame rate not

00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:22.399
great 130.3 those cards get so loud how hot

00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:27.920
are they getting

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:31.480
88° on GPU 1 so this was my attempt to

00:13:27.920 --> 00:13:34.839
load Far Cry 4 which just isn't working

00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:37.240
at all control delete fail alt f4 fail

00:13:34.839 --> 00:13:42.160
try to tab nothing we're going to try loading

00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:48.560
this game computer just doesn't like four cards go horsey go horsey go this

00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:52.160
is running so bad Doom is not that hard

00:13:48.560 --> 00:13:54.959
to run okay so benchmarking complete at

00:13:52.160 --> 00:13:58.759
idle all of our cards ran it around 50° give or take a few depending on which

00:13:56.560 --> 00:14:02.199
one it was in the order so just like with compensator 1 we could have

00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:06.800
obviously benefited from water cooling the gpus stacking four isn't really a

00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:12.399
great idea without water cooling because they can't breathe and ran at about 88°

00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:16.920
all the time when underload resulting in some pretty serious throttling just like

00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:21.360
last time we crushed in 3D Mark fire strike and again got in the top 1% of

00:14:19.040 --> 00:14:25.199
systems which luckily is not based off of price per performance although we did

00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:29.560
have some pretty serious troubles with it but was able to fight through it

00:14:27.160 --> 00:14:33.839
through some configuration stuff last time with the four original Titan X

00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:38.199
cards all the games worked but they just chopped and glitched around and had some

00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:43.160
tearing and all that kind of stuff this time wasn't like that at all performance

00:14:40.680 --> 00:14:48.440
was pretty terrible really considering the cost and a couple games just refused

00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:52.199
to work at all what I expected to happen was that the system would just

00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:56.320
completely ignore the third and fourth cards and we just get some thermal

00:14:54.399 --> 00:15:00.880
throttled two-way SLI performance metrics that I could laugh at but in

00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:05.639
reality the the usage of the second card often sat at around 20% resulting in

00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:09.800
less than desirable results the moral of the story with compensator has always

00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:14.639
been the same you don't need a rig this insane and when you do set up something

00:15:11.959 --> 00:15:19.399
like this there are often more drawbacks than you'd expect yeah sure they'll

00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:23.839
perform pretty well in 3D Mark and if you water cool and overclock them you'll

00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:27.639
do pretty well on the leaderboards but that's about it I hope you had fun

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:31.519
watching this build personally just like last time I think it's beautiful I love

00:15:29.880 --> 00:15:35.519
how it looks but it's just a little misguided I chose the four Titans

00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:40.519
knowing it would be a problem but I did so because you can still Force four-way

00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:44.839
to work in some games and it is still Benchmark with synthetics we'll see what

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:48.519
next year has to offer I'll see you there with compensator

00:15:46.319 --> 00:15:53.160
3 so as you may have noticed we were using cable mod cables for this build

00:15:50.560 --> 00:15:57.160
just like we did with compensator 1 and now you can use their customizer to get

00:15:55.360 --> 00:16:01.360
your own cable mod cables that are specifically for you you just choose

00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:05.839
your sleeve type your power supply brand and model you select your size and

00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:09.880
length then the color that you want and Bam you're done that's it that's all the

00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:15.800
only remaining steps are waiting for them to show up and installing them in your system nice and easy if you guys

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:19.199
like this video like it if you dislike this video dislike it get subscribed all

00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:23.199
that fun stuff check the link in the description down below to see our

00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:28.480
sponsors and to buy stuff on Amazon so you can build your your own compensator

00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:31.759
if you wanted to do that for some reason also there there's links to our shirts

00:16:30.040 --> 00:16:35.759
and stuff and the Forum where you can discuss how my build was so terribly

00:16:33.920 --> 00:16:39.920
misguided when that was the point of the video anyways check out this video which

00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:42.920
was compensator 1 and I'll see you next time
