00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.000
welcome to the build log of the compensator this will be a computer with

00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:11.840
no stops pulled four titan x's 128

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:15.120
gigabytes of gddr4 RAM 1.2 terabyte NVMe

00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:17.440
drive from Intel and an Intel 5960x

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:23.340
and some benchmarks to crush if you want to see more build logs in the future

00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:30.080

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:44.559
this won't be a particularly hard computer to build it's just going to be

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:47.440
kind of particularly epic these white boxes if you guys are

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:52.079
wondering what the heck these are these are all the titan x's

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:54.640
this is the sli bridge that i'm going to have to use

00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:58.680
yep

00:01:06.520 --> 00:01:12.910
128 gigs of RAM just insane

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:17.120
dominator platinum 2400

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.920
it comes with lighting strips

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:27.360
cool so you could take your usb 3.0 header

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:32.320
plug it in here and then you'd have a usb 2.0 plug that

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:36.240
you could plug into your board down here

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:39.400
nice some cable management stuff that's pretty cool

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:42.000
some rings

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.840
and take this cage out back here just so i have better access to uh cable

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:52.960
management stuff i kind of hoped that these fans were separate so this is for

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:56.479
lights so there's i guess three yeah there's three different lighting strips

00:01:54.320 --> 00:02:00.399
in this bag that comes with the case you have these three knobs

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:04.399
so you can i guess control the brightness we'll have to see later on

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

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:23.370
side is huge

00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:32.720
this block is far too large but my problem with

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

00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:39.880
i should have installed this first

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:48.840
all right we are back to essentially nothing

00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:54.560
wow that's a problem

00:02:52.239 --> 00:02:59.760
these light cables back here are super in the way

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

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:10.480
that's close clearance so yeah at this point i don't know if i

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:14.560
would necessarily recommend a triple rat in this case

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

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:24.480
got the board back in and the cooler is being fed through so i

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

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:33.200
to make sure that i can get this cooler installed i have to remove this

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

00:03:34.959 --> 00:03:42.159
fits first so right fractal good job

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.519
your short cables were like perfect

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

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

00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:01.280
done installed

00:03:58.239 --> 00:04:02.560
that was a nightmare so we're now back

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

00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:12.720
after two screws people like selfie stuff

00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:16.000
this might not make a ton of aesthetic sense right now once the graphics cards

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

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:26.080
how do i want to do the fans okay so for the CPU

00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:30.160
pump i'm probably not going to go behind the motherboard actually

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:33.360
and i'm going to try to use this splitter but it might not work

00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:39.240
okay so now i have a little triple fan thing

00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.240
going through the back

00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:47.840
it's kind of cool that it can already reach

00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.080
i should have installed the power supply first

00:04:50.479 --> 00:04:54.600
god i knew it

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

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:10.800
have to do a whole bunch more work is because this cable can go like this

00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:14.800
instead of either coming through this hole

00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:18.639
or going through one of these holes and coming all the way up and looking super

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:25.720
dumb i'm just gonna go for gold and install everything right now

00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.720
before i install this cooler

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:37.480
so you put a graphics card in it just looks a billion times better

00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:43.600
the line s is it possible for m.2 clearance to like

00:05:41.039 --> 00:05:46.160
super bone over a graphics card well look

00:05:47.199 --> 00:06:04.400
let me try um what are you

00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:11.639
cooling in this is gonna be interesting all right so we're just doing some cable

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.639
management

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

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

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:43.520
for the screw so the graphics cards on and then we're pretty much done

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:46.479
i wanted fans in the top because the area of the computer that has the

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:51.050
graphics cards in it is going to be very starved for air

00:06:49.039 --> 00:06:56.400
the chopsticks win again

00:06:56.400 --> 00:07:05.919
oh my goodness the sli bridge

00:07:05.919 --> 00:07:08.919
chopsticks

00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:16.800
okay are like lights on i know but there's no lights on

00:07:14.479 --> 00:07:19.840
your face oh so

00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:28.360
it's not posting so we're gonna swap in a much lower

00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:28.360
capacity 16 Gigabyte kit of RAM

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:37.840
just nothing uh yeah i just wasn't posting it most of

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

00:07:41.840 --> 00:07:44.840
oh

00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:55.039
the chip was dead

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

00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:05.199
photography oh all right so it was CPU twice i don't

00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:11.360
know maybe it just needed a receipt so what i'm doing now

00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:16.319
is uh installing the tci express power to the motherboard

00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:21.080
are those chips dead or at least one of them

00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:21.080
i'm voting for dust

00:08:33.839 --> 00:08:37.120
hey Linus

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:43.599
come check this out that's like kind of doing that for me

00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.880
yeah so it comes with three RGB lighting strips that you can control manually on

00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:52.320
the back of the case i might have found a case i finally like

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

00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:02.080
at 47 48 degrees idle our third GPU is

00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:05.120
running about 44 45 degrees idle and our

00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:06.800
last one our fourth GPU is running at 37

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

00:09:08.959 --> 00:09:14.080
see how much they heat up once we actually start benchmarking all right

00:09:12.160 --> 00:09:18.959
benchmarking is complete this rig would have seriously benefited from water

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:24.080
cooling the graphics cards as they were all riding on about 20 or 83 degrees and

00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:28.720
probably would have done better with GPU boost if the result wasn't 83 degrees

00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:34.160
all the time our issue with the RAM ended up being solved by ASUS saving the

00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:36.320
day again there should be a public BIOS

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

00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:42.720
want to recreate something here all that being said issues did remain there were

00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:46.640
micro stutters all over the place with the sli setup that we had and it

00:09:44.560 --> 00:09:51.200
rendered certain parts of certain games almost unplayable our rig crushed 3d

00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:54.480
mark and it was cool to get into the top one percent of systems even without

00:09:52.959 --> 00:09:59.279
overclocking although if that leaderboard was based on price for performance it probably would have been

00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:02.480
a different story in conclusion i'm happy with the results

00:10:00.959 --> 00:10:07.600
of this experiment but the true conclusion will come next year when we

00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:09.519
make the compensator 2.0 this rig did

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

00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:17.120
comparative data for that because we never really run our games on that

00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:22.880
insane of settings all the time and yet again the parts we chose were silly why

00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:28.000
were those parts silly well four-way sli is kind of nuts check out Linus's

00:10:24.959 --> 00:10:30.959
scaling video here to explore that more

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

00:10:32.800 --> 00:10:38.320
that exact very kit here and cpus uh

00:10:36.880 --> 00:10:42.640
that tier are a little bit unnecessary for gaming or a lot of it unnecessary

00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:47.519
for gaming check out my video on that here i hope you guys enjoyed this
