Welcome to the build log of the Compensator, this will be a computer with no stops pulled, four titan x's,
128 gigabytes of GDDR4 ram,
1.2 Terabyte NVme drive from Intel, and an intel 5960x and
Some benchmarks to crush, if you want to see more build logs in the future wreck the like button. Let's do this

This won't be a particularly hard computer to build
It's just going to be kind of particularly epic
These white boxes if you guys are wondering what the heck these are these are all the Titan X's
This is the Sli bridge that I'm going to have to use
Yep
128 gigs of Ram just insane, Dominator platinum 2400
It comes with lighting strips
Hmm cool, so you could take your USB 3.0 header
plug it in here and
Then you'd have a USB 2.0 Plug that you could plug into your board down here.
Nice some cable management stuff. That's pretty cool some rings
Gonna take this cage out back here just so I have better access to cable management stuff
I kind of hoped that these fans were separate. So this is for lights, so there's I guess 3 yeah
There's three different lighting strips in this bag that comes with the case you have these three knobs
So you can I guess control the brightness? We'll have to see later on
When I put in the motherboard, I like having the case on its side, and this thing on its side is huge
this block is
Far too large, but my problem with this case is I have to fit it up here
And I did it in totally the wrong order. I should have installed this first
Alright, We are back to essentially nothing
Wow, that's a problem. These light cables back here are super in the way
Ugh that sucks
A fare amount of squish on those at little LEDs, but I think they'll be okay. Wow that's close clearance so yeah at this point
I don't know if I would necessarily recommend a triple rad in this case
I've already had to undo a lot of screen things and I hate that so much
I've got the board back in
And the Cooler is being Fed through
So I just installed two
Screws into the motherboard, and I'm not going to do any more for now
I just want to make sure that I can get this cooler installed. I have to remove this obviously. I'm not Gonna
Do that quite yet
because I just wanna make sure it fits first. Alright fractal good job, your short cables were like perfect
I think that's how I'm supposed to do it. Why wasn't it screwing? Ooooh
These are the ones I'm supposed to be using the first one. I got was this
Done, Installed.
That was a nightmare, so we're now back on track
We're going to finish screwing in the motherboard because I kind of gave up after two screws
people like selfie stuff
This might not make a ton of aesthetic sense right now, once the graphics cards light up because they're all stock coolers
They'll all have green lights and then it should work
How do I want to do the fans?
Okay, so for the CPU pump. I'm probably not going to go behind the motherboard actually
And I'm going to try to use this splitter, but it might not work
Okay, so [now] I have a little triple fan thing going through the back
♪♪♪
That's kinda cool it, already reach
I should have install the power supply first
God, I knew it
♪♪♪
So the reason I just did all of that and wasted a whole bunch of time time to do a whole bunch more work
Is because this cable can go like this
instead of either coming through this hole
Or going through one of these holes
And coming all the way up and looking super dumb. I'm just going to go for gold and install everything right now
before I install this cooler
♪♪♪
It's like you put a graphics card in it. Just looks a billion times better
♪♪♪
Hey Linus? Is it possible M.2 clearance to like Super bone over a graphics card? Well look.
Well, let me try
Where are you?
There you go
♪♪♪
Cooling in this is going to be interesting, alright, so we're just doing some cable management
♪♪♪
So we're getting really freakin close to being done
I have to put the glass panels on but I want to test to make sure the system works first and
I have to put the cover for the screws of the graphics cards on and then were pretty much Done.
I wanted fans in the top because the
Area of the computer that has a graphics cards in it is going to be very starved for air
the Chopsticks win again
♪♪♪
Oh my goodness the SLI Bridge
♪♪♪
Chopsticks
Okay are like lights on? I know but there's a no lights on right, oh derp
So it's not posting
We're gonna Swap in a much lower capacity
16 gigabyte kit of ram
♪♪♪
just nothing
Uh Yeah, just wasn't Posting most of the time. Oh my God. I don't have time for this. I would actually try CPU first.
♪♪♪
The Chip was Dead
♪♪♪
It's not posting and we're trying to figure out why.
I've never tried a four graphics card before-
oh
All right, what was it CPU twice? I don't know. Maybe it just needed a receipt. So what I'm doing now
is uh installing the
PCi Express power to the motherboard
Are those chips dead or at least one of them. I don't think so I'm voting for dust.

Hey Linus
Come check this out
That's like Kinda dark for me. Yeah, so it comes to three RGB lighting strips that you can control manually on the back of the case
I might have found the case I finally like
So our top GPU, GPU one is running at 52 degrees idle our, second GPU is running at
47-48 Degrees Idle, our third GPU is running about
44-45 degrees Idle, and our last one our fourth GPU is running at 37 degrees idle
So that bottom one is doing a lot better than the others
But we'll see how much they heat up once we actually start bench marking, all right bench marking is complete this rig would have seriously
benefited from water cooling that graphics cards as they were all riding on about twenty or
eighty-three degrees and probably would have done better with GPU boost if the result wasn't
Eighty-three degrees all the time, our issue with the ram ended up being solved by ASUS saving the day again
There should probably a public bios of the one that we used fairly soon
So don't worry too much about that if you want to recreate something here all that being said
Issues did remain there were micro stutters all over the place with the SLi setup that we had, and it rendered certain parts of certain
Games almost unplayable our Rig crushed 3D mark
And it was cool to get into the top 1% of systems even without
Overclocking although if that leaderboard with based on price for performance it probably would have been a different story, in conclusion
I'm happy with the results of this experiment, but the true conclusion will come next year when we make the compensator 2.0
This rig did really well in the games
we tested it in but we don't really have any proper comparative data for that
Because we never really run our games on that insane of settings all the time, and yet again the parts
We chose were silly. Why were those parts silly? Well four-way Sli is kind of nuts, check out Linus's scaling video
here to explore that more
128 gigabytes of Ram is also quite a bit over the top, check out Linus's video on that exact very kit here and
CPUs that tier a little bit unnecessary for gaming or a lot a bit unnecessary for gaming check out my video on that
