I will PAY you not to buy this

The ASUS ROG Matrix Platinum is hands down the BEST 4090 you can buy. Except for the fact that it costs $3200. Considering that Nvidia's card is supposed to retail for literally half that, I bet that a watercooling noob could PAY themselves to learn. Buy all pump, radiators and waterblocks from companies like Corsair, Bykski, EK Waterblock, and Optimus cooling and STILL have money to spare.

Testing for ROG Matrix was performed with the CPU cooled by an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360

[JTsek]

The real criminal is Corsair charging an extra $60 for something that should have been included with your product

[IcyCaress]

$3200 for a gpu with a track record of absolute garbage warranty history, yeah no, ASUS gets nothing from me...

I miss EVGA :(

[felixu]

F**k me $3200 is literally 50% more than any budget I'd have for building an entire new computer right now.

[ANDSENS]

The fact that "Warranty Void" stickers are just not enforcable rather than f**king illegal drives me up the wall. How has it not been codified into law that you get hefty fines when you try to bamboozle your customers into not using their rights?!?!?!

[hedlund]

Corsair's got some balls charging 40 dollhairs for that tubing.

[ronem]

I think LMG did a great job with this kind of video. To have someone with very limited knowledge of watercooling, showing his errors and then have Slim Shady come consult about what he did wrong clearly is a winner here. Love this video guys!

[ekardt]

I will pay both of you to undo your hairstyles

[stevemaricar]

The value you get from the learning experience really stands out. Even though it took quite a bit of time and had a hiccup with that pump controller, the end-result temperatures are impressive. It's good to see that with the right research and parts, you can make a robust cooling system that rivals high-end cards

[justiful]

You should make corsair sponsored video where you get 10 people who want to water cool but are afraid of ducking it up and losing money. If they successfully complete the build without damaging the system, they pay for it and got it risk free. If they fail. . . your sponsor eats the cost.

10 people. The same exact build. PC building experience, but NEVER water cooling.

Also get your sponsor to offer the complete build unassembled exactly as shown in the video for sale on their website.

[SirSicCrusader]

Jake and Alex just roasting the crap out of the parts choice is just.. so catty and I love it.

[Indrid__Cold]

1:08 That was the best sponsor segway I have EVER seen. You captured my interest while informing and entertaining me. My compliments.

[dadsoul]

In his defense, most of that time seemed to be from having the wrong case and pump. It's not even a money issue.

[ash]

That iFixit ad transition was uncomfortably smooth

[digitalmagick]

I absolutely love that moment where he says "...when you did your first water cooling did you get every single part correct? well maybe...you did", and lines says "No! I think that assumption is why people can feel afraid to try new things! No I absolutely screwed up!".

[ezikhoyo]

6:45 Not only are they not enforceable in the US, they are actually completely illegal to put on. It's no longer allowed to say "Warranty void if removed/damaged/etc.". Only like on the graphics card a sticker with which it is visible whether it was opened or not, but these words are not allowed on there.

[justsomeguy]

Fun Fact: When you are limited by the amount of something(Coolant Tubing). Start with the longest piece first. If you screw it up, you can use that length for the next largest piece.

[hrafnafadhir]

8:10: Aw, shucks. I just woke up like this, my dude. Thanks. You’re looking’ good, too. I love the nail polish. It’s very catching.

[RealShimSham]

You actually can do EATX with this case and still have the RGB panel on. You just gotta read the manual, where it shows that you have to flip the panel around, and that actually makes it slimmer, so that EATX fits. But no YouTuber researches the products they review, so now we got a whole bunch of videos on YouTube showing that the case doesn't properly support EATX, even though it does. You just gotta read the damn manual, it's not that hard.

[thesocialisthedgehog]

Between Elijah's scrapyard war debacle, Adam's mullet, and of course Linus defacing himself in Slim Shady cosplay, we're truly in a miserable era of LTT haircuts.

[Grainer]
