I think if it fits your purpose and you like it and it plays everything you want for the coming years then it’s fine to spend 30k on it, hell I spent 15k on a DTR laptop and it’s still great. Guess I need to clarify since people don’t understand that people live differently than each other , but I’ve worked as a overseas contractor since 2016 in multiple high risk environments and having a desktop is not a reasonable thing to carry around so a DTR laptop is the next best thing. I grew in the early 90s as a tech enthusiast and built my first computer in 99/ 2000 and it was a k6-2 amd with a 128 rage from ati . Beyond that I went to school for electrical engineering and COT and I was been into the modding community so I like pushing the limits and once again a DTR laptop is the way to go for me . It’s a niche product and has a pretty long lifespan even though half the fake techies that follow Linus think hardware is outdated in a year lol top end or even mid grade hardware is good for atleast 8 to 10 yrs though certain things might not work as they should , most functionality will remain. So down to cost, well I’m fortunate enough to have a drive to get me to a place where I get paid very well so yea occasionally I spend a large mount on something I love or want . It’s not bragging if I just state the facts and why something is a reasonable purchase for me or many others.

If you want more expensive water, pick up deuterium oxide, a.k.a. heavy water. At $2000 per liter it's pretty pricey, but comes in high purity grades (so no minerals). It also has a higher heat capacity, so it actually improves the cooling.

@@Obbliteration Well they do probably have most of the core components on hand to throw onto a standardized test bench. It wont factor in the potential differences in exotic cooling systems but could still be an interesting interesting video concept to illustrate how top end hardware ages relative to the mid-high end builds of the same generations. Maybe a sponsored video when Intel/AMD/Nvidia(or one of their board partners realistically) next launch a mid-high end component targeting the enthusiast gaming market. It's unlikely to have any shocking conclusions but considering that content featuring high end stuff typically performs better in terms of views, IMO it's never a bad idea for somebody like LTT to show its audience why going top of the line generally isn't the best call, assuming you're a normal person to whom $1-2k is already significant investment even for a primary hobby nevermind $4-5k. Nobody should be feeling FOMO for not doubling the price of a build for an extra 30% or 40% performance uplift, but it's an easy trap to fall into when for example; everybody still talks about the 1080, but not the 1070 which topped the steam hardware survey for like 5 or 6 years IIRC. The differences between the 1st and 3rd best today might seem big, but in a few generations time they will the 10th and 14th best and are likely to be upgraded in similar time frames anyway.

​@@NeonBeats_WaifuYou can probably do better since the processor isnt the best for gaming. A 7800X3D is much better especially in some games like Tarkov.. This is just consumerism tbh.. nobody would ever need this.

22:47 Linus: This is the stupidist thing we've ever done! David: No. David kills me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wanna see a new video with the latest threadripper as soon as it’s available. The 10k for that cpu will give us a 50k Compensator next time - if we really wanna push the boundaries!

I love how you can get gerolsteiner over there. Litteraly the cheapest good- quality option here in Germany a few kilometers away from their main facility

I am a huge fan of thr revival of old/discontinued series. The return of The Compensator and Holy Sh!t brings me joy.

Doing a lan room build would be sick. to see what specs all get built into the systems, connecting everything together to work seamless, overall price, etc.

Yes! We need to keep the idea and practice of Lans going!

that case is such a monster, all i can think about is how heavy it would be and how much of a pain it would take to clean the sucker

i'll never even see one like this in my life

Whats crazy to me is I literally JUST bought a PC with the same CPU/GPU combo, and managed to get the whole package for about 3k. yet another reason why expensive isn't always the best idea.

You can hook those Corsair LS100 RGB strips to a Corsair RGB controller like the commander instead of using the one that comes in the box, which requires you to connect it to the wall.

It's like Yujiro Hanma of computer world, it just can't find an "opponent" that can push it to it's limits.

Nice video. I suspect that a TE cooler is a bad idea for computer component cooling. 1. It uses energy. 2. I wonder about the CPU temperature vs. CPU power curve with at TE cooler? What if the CPU power exceeds the TE heat pump capacity? Does the heat pile up? If so, the TE cooler might be worse than passive cooling.

Thanks for out of pocket skit. The whiplash on that had my head landing a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1080°. It was equal parts hilarious and confusing.

I like how this series is effectively "What's the craziest thing I can spec out on pcpartpicker"

I will say this case is much much better looking than Comp 3 was lol, and you don't need to open up a workers comp case lifting it like Comp 3 lol! Also for Comp 5 in a couple years you guys should work on an A.I model of the Langley Kitchen set background and you and Luke should do the build for retro sake, just a thought.

I almost had an aneurysm when they started putting sparkling mineral water in the pump. Literally, all of that segment had me clenching lol

31:22 everything is so big Linus looks like a bearded 5 year old at a pc 😅

Loved this video. And extra touches of the party life of a compensator pc’s night ending in tragedy is just funny. Good work everyone.

This one probably needed to get out prior to the embargo lift on Threadripper 7000 so that it's not a waste of a video (based on the comments at the beginning of this video). It's clear that this was shot even before Intel 14th gen was released.

I couldn't watch the video after 23:00. I mean come on, it must be working perfectly. Getting a coolant would be more expensive and would get better temperatures.

Since the pump is running twenty four hours a day, Inject some polyphosphate into it. It will coat the inside of the lines and stop the hardness from precipitating. Just don't turn the machine off and you'll never have to worry about it

16:29 Fun fact Mushkin also has 16TB SATA SSDs, TeamGroup may have discontinued the 16TB SATA SSD but they are not the only ones in town (or at least not anymore) the specific model is Mushkin Source HC 16TB (HC from High Capacity) around $2000 the pop

Yes, when your Thermal Compound has the same geometric shapes as your side panel.. Build goes completely off the charts insane! Awesome ❤. Too bad waiting for the new releases didn't happen.

7:50 - I still feel like the ideal setup for a PC Peltier (TEC) cooler is to run your loop: CPU > Radiator > Peltier cold-side (with it's own separate cooling loop and radiator for the hot-side) > CPU. That way the first radiator brings your coolant down closer to ambient, and then the Peltier cools it below ambient. The other advantage being that the Peltier never acts as an insulator and your system can still run even if it fails or can't keep up. Not sure what EK was thinking with this setup.

@@ErnieZee 1) Use a coolant that has a lower freezing point than water 2) Use a temperature control so the Peltier only turns on when needed. Sub-ambient ≠ sub-zero unless you're outside on a freezing day for some reason.

I have been theory crafting about a system with a big reservoir and multiple loops. 1. reservoir > cpu > radiator > reservoir 2. reservoir > gpu > radiator > reservoir 3. reservoir > peltier cold side > reservoir 4. radiator > peltier hot sidd > rafiator This way you never have the downsides of the limits and insulating effect of the peltier because it is basically a normal system. The peltier just cools your reservoir aditionally. only downside is you have to insulate all the tubes and the reservoir if you plan to cool below the dew point.

This cooler would work perfectly fine even with a 7950x3D. The trick is not having a microwave for a CPU.

@cbale2000

@@Enderplays12 For sure, if you throw strong enough TECs on it, you could make a setup like this work on any CPU, but it's still incredibly inefficient (on top of the inherent inefficiencies of TECs in general) and prone to unexpected failures. TECs have a limit to the amount of heat differential they can move (usually 20-40 degrees C), so the closer you can get a loop to ambient before introducing the TEC, the better sub-ambient cooling effect they will have. Without that, you start hitting thermal saturation points on the hot-side of the TECs and the they become a net-negative on performance.

The on the fly pizza pocket math was the best part by far

I will say I think the compensator with the 5k custom octuple helix case is still the coolest looking one, and I want to use my 3d printers to make a plastic version xD

its amazing how fast tech is evolving. theres already must faster ram and storage for lower prices since this came out

Always fun seeing a setup priced like a pretty nice house around here in SEA 😂

Speaking of cheap RAM, I actually managed to get a whole 32 gigs of RAM for my computer (up from my previous and pitiful 8) for under 50 dollars. They were perfectly compatible with my board and were on a MASSIVE sale, so I basically quadrupled my RAM for almost no money.

Ik he said no exotic parts but the final ootane drives would've been so perfect for this. They are also so far ahead of the best nvme ssds I low queue depth random read bandwidth, iops and latency that youll commonly see 50-100% faster boot and load times. That's also the same reason it's so hard to notice the improvements of nvme ssds vs sata because they're progressing abysmally slow in these metrics.

I feel like the next compensator should prioritize higher end parts over most expensive, but still target most expensive when possible.

That case is the most insane part to me. That thing is a monster.

I had a small heart attack when I saw Linus start curling the fully assembled motherboard

I think a cool video idea would be to build the best PC for the cost of each component on this PC. Like build a computer for the cost of just the processor, the motherboard, PC case etc. So for the motherboard PC you would have 1200$ . It would be really cool to see how many PCs and what specs you could get out of them for the cost of each individual components.
