1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,000 welcome to the build log of the compensator this will be a computer with 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:11,840 no stops pulled four titan x's 128 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:15,120 gigabytes of gddr4 RAM 1.2 terabyte NVMe 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:17,440 drive from Intel and an Intel 5960x 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:23,340 and some benchmarks to crush if you want to see more build logs in the future 6 00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:30,080 wreck the like button let's do this 7 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:37,200 freshbooks is the super simple invoicing solution that lets you get organized 8 00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:40,960 save time and get paid faster click now to try for free 9 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,559 this won't be a particularly hard computer to build it's just going to be 10 00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:47,440 kind of particularly epic these white boxes if you guys are 11 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:52,079 wondering what the heck these are these are all the titan x's 12 00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:54,640 this is the sli bridge that i'm going to have to use 13 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,680 yep 14 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:12,910 128 gigs of RAM just insane 15 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:17,120 dominator platinum 2400 16 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,920 it comes with lighting strips 17 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:27,360 cool so you could take your usb 3.0 header 18 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:32,320 plug it in here and then you'd have a usb 2.0 plug that 19 00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:36,240 you could plug into your board down here 20 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:39,400 nice some cable management stuff that's pretty cool 21 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,000 some rings 22 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,840 and take this cage out back here just so i have better access to uh cable 23 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:52,960 management stuff i kind of hoped that these fans were separate so this is for 24 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:56,479 lights so there's i guess three yeah there's three different lighting strips 25 00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:00,399 in this bag that comes with the case you have these three knobs 26 00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:04,399 so you can i guess control the brightness we'll have to see later on 27 00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:10,930 when i put in the motherboard i like having the case on its side and this thing on its 28 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:23,370 side is huge 29 00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:32,720 this block is far too large but my problem with 30 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,290 this case is i have to fit it up here and i did it in totally the wrong order 31 00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:39,880 i should have installed this first 32 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,840 all right we are back to essentially nothing 33 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:54,560 wow that's a problem 34 00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:59,760 these light cables back here are super in the way 35 00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:07,280 a fair amount of squish on those little leds but i think they'll be okay wow 36 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:10,480 that's close clearance so yeah at this point i don't know if i 37 00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:14,560 would necessarily recommend a triple rat in this case 38 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:20,400 i've already had to undo a lot of screen things in and i hate that so much i've 39 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:24,480 got the board back in and the cooler is being fed through so i 40 00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:29,920 just installed two screws into the motherboard and i'm not going to do any more for now i just want 41 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,200 to make sure that i can get this cooler installed i have to remove this 42 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:36,080 obviously i'm not going to do that quite yet because i just want to make sure it 43 00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:42,159 fits first so right fractal good job 44 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,519 your short cables were like perfect 45 00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:48,319 i think that's how i'm supposed to do it why wasn't that screw going in oh 46 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:55,120 these are the ones i'm supposed to be using the first one i got was this 47 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:01,280 done installed 48 00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:02,560 that was a nightmare so we're now back 49 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,760 on track i'm going to finish screwing in the motherboard because i kind of gave up 50 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:12,720 after two screws people like selfie stuff 51 00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:16,000 this might not make a ton of aesthetic sense right now once the graphics cards 52 00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:21,919 light up because they're all stock coolers they'll all have green lights and then it should work 53 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:26,080 how do i want to do the fans okay so for the CPU 54 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,160 pump i'm probably not going to go behind the motherboard actually 55 00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:33,360 and i'm going to try to use this splitter but it might not work 56 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:39,240 okay so now i have a little triple fan thing 57 00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:39,240 going through the back 58 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,840 it's kind of cool that it can already reach 59 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,080 i should have installed the power supply first 60 00:04:50,479 --> 00:04:54,600 god i knew it 61 00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:03,759 so the reason i just did all of that and wasted a whole bunch of time because i 62 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:10,800 have to do a whole bunch more work is because this cable can go like this 63 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,800 instead of either coming through this hole 64 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:18,639 or going through one of these holes and coming all the way up and looking super 65 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:25,720 dumb i'm just gonna go for gold and install everything right now 66 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,720 before i install this cooler 67 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:37,480 so you put a graphics card in it just looks a billion times better 68 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:43,600 the line s is it possible for m.2 clearance to like 69 00:05:41,039 --> 00:05:46,160 super bone over a graphics card well look 70 00:05:47,199 --> 00:06:04,400 let me try um what are you 71 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:11,639 cooling in this is gonna be interesting all right so we're just doing some cable 72 00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:11,639 management 73 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:32,240 so we're getting really freaking close to being done i have to put the glass panels on but i 74 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:37,919 want to test to make sure the system works first and i have to put the cover 75 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,520 for the screw so the graphics cards on and then we're pretty much done 76 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,479 i wanted fans in the top because the area of the computer that has the 77 00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:51,050 graphics cards in it is going to be very starved for air 78 00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:56,400 the chopsticks win again 79 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:05,919 oh my goodness the sli bridge 80 00:07:05,919 --> 00:07:08,919 chopsticks 81 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:16,800 okay are like lights on i know but there's no lights on 82 00:07:14,479 --> 00:07:19,840 your face oh so 83 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:28,360 it's not posting so we're gonna swap in a much lower 84 00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:28,360 capacity 16 Gigabyte kit of RAM 85 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:37,840 just nothing uh yeah i just wasn't posting it most of 86 00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:44,840 the time oh my god i don't have time for this i would actually try CPU first 87 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,840 oh 88 00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:55,039 the chip was dead 89 00:07:55,039 --> 00:08:00,720 it's not posting and we're trying to figure out why i've never tried a 90 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:05,199 photography oh all right so it was CPU twice i don't 91 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:11,360 know maybe it just needed a receipt so what i'm doing now 92 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:16,319 is uh installing the tci express power to the motherboard 93 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:21,080 are those chips dead or at least one of them 94 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,080 i'm voting for dust 95 00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:37,120 hey Linus 96 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:43,599 come check this out that's like kind of doing that for me 97 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,880 yeah so it comes with three RGB lighting strips that you can control manually on 98 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:52,320 the back of the case i might have found a case i finally like 99 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:58,240 so our top GPU GPU one is running at 52 degrees idle our second GPU is running 100 00:08:54,480 --> 00:09:02,080 at 47 48 degrees idle our third GPU is 101 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:05,120 running about 44 45 degrees idle and our 102 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,800 last one our fourth GPU is running at 37 103 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,240 degrees idle so that bottom one is doing a lot better than the others but we'll 104 00:09:08,959 --> 00:09:14,080 see how much they heat up once we actually start benchmarking all right 105 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:18,959 benchmarking is complete this rig would have seriously benefited from water 106 00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:24,080 cooling the graphics cards as they were all riding on about 20 or 83 degrees and 107 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:28,720 probably would have done better with GPU boost if the result wasn't 83 degrees 108 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:34,160 all the time our issue with the RAM ended up being solved by ASUS saving the 109 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:36,320 day again there should be a public BIOS 110 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:39,279 of the one that we used fairly soon so don't worry too much about that if you 111 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,720 want to recreate something here all that being said issues did remain there were 112 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:46,640 micro stutters all over the place with the sli setup that we had and it 113 00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:51,200 rendered certain parts of certain games almost unplayable our rig crushed 3d 114 00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:54,480 mark and it was cool to get into the top one percent of systems even without 115 00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:59,279 overclocking although if that leaderboard was based on price for performance it probably would have been 116 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,480 a different story in conclusion i'm happy with the results 117 00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:07,600 of this experiment but the true conclusion will come next year when we 118 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:09,519 make the compensator 2.0 this rig did 119 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,959 really well in the games we tested it in but we don't really have any proper 120 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:17,120 comparative data for that because we never really run our games on that 121 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:22,880 insane of settings all the time and yet again the parts we chose were silly why 122 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:28,000 were those parts silly well four-way sli is kind of nuts check out Linus's 123 00:10:24,959 --> 00:10:30,959 scaling video here to explore that more 124 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:36,880 128 gigabytes of RAM is also quite a bit over the top check out Linus's video on 125 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:38,320 that exact very kit here and cpus uh 126 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:42,640 that tier are a little bit unnecessary for gaming or a lot of it unnecessary 127 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:47,519 for gaming check out my video on that here i hope you guys enjoyed this 128 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:50,240 exploration of the bleeding edge thanks for watching guys if this video 129 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:54,320 sucked you know what to do but if it was awesome get subscribed hit that like 130 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:58,720 button or even consider supporting us
