I think this video is the perfect reason that no one should build a compensator PC Because by the time the PC is built there's already newer or faster Hardware that has been released

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.

[Wunba]

If you wanna get the most expensive water just go to the movie theatre 😂

[TKVirusman]

Gotta love a PC where the STORAGE is more expensive than my entire rig xD

[Chesternut]

I want a compensator revisited video. Where all the old compensators are tested and see how they hold up to modern day.

[descendency]

I love how this video is basically "you shouldn't buy any of this."

I revisited this and I thoroughly enjoyed every time an Ad comes along. This is true sponsorship and how to sneak it in non-sneakily. "Now that I've been compensated, let's keep compensating" is such a good tip-of-the-hat to the money they're spending and getting. Great job.

[bjrn-oskarrnning]

For the next Compensator build you should build two systems: one "most expensive" like this one and one no holes barred "most performance" and compare them, just to really drive home the point that more expensive doesn't mean better (not that it wasn't obvious already).

12 bottles of Gerolsteiner cost around 9 Euros in Germany. Totally overpriced in Canada, it seems xD

I worked at Samsung USA when they were working on that Monitor. It was the coolest one they had in the office.

[lezlienewlands]

I never thought I'd hear of a mouse that literally causes a CPU to actually think a little bit if you max out the polling rate.
I love it.

[Thon_Mayo]

Since this is now the 4th compensator, would be cool to make all four compensator pc compete against each other! How performance have change since the first one, how much depreciation happen, out of all that money spent for peak performance how much you lost over the years! That’d be a fun watch 👍

Alternate title: 30k air conditioner that can also play games

[stefanrabenstein]

Just wanted to say the correction about the AMD platform was very well done, since a lot of thought went into how to handle these situations recently

[harchom]

you should used heavy water (D2O) for cooling. it cost way more, and have better thermal capacity than regular water

[hardrivethrutown]

this definitely makes me miss SLI... it was so cool seeing more than one card in a system

[LT_]

26:00 i just love the idea of a ”starter kit” being the most expensive part on the market 😂

[yomanyo]

With 11 8TB SSDs, you officially have 1024x the memory my very first PC had, absolutely glorious!

[ReikazeRambles]

I cant think of a worse time for a non HEDT compensator build to come out than the embargo date for threadripper

Should've gotten Red Line Water Wetter. It's an additive for straight water cooling, used in performance cars, mostly drag cars. One bottle costs almost $14US, and treats 3-5 gallons of water. It would make using distilled water relatively safe.
