The Compensator Build Log

[ltguy]

Totally ripped of my pcie cables, also in the double wide lian li case. Just saying.

[Sanji Himura]

128GB DDR4 RAM?! That's overkill and waste of money for gaming only.

 

To be a bit fair, this is also a bit of a future proofing rig.  Had all of this stuff came out a year ago when I was looking for a gaming rig, I would take a chance and build my own.

[Exotath]

Dat case........omg. Want.

[Szikra]

If you are doing an overkill, silly build, then I think you should populate all SATA ports too.

At the very least put 4 HDDs in it so you can evaluate what happens to the case when multiple spinning disks are vibrating it...

That at least would be interesting for me. (I have 6 HDD (+SSD) and my build's cost is a fraction of this. But I had to build custom suspension for my HDDs, cause even the 2 mm thick steel case cannot handle the vibration.)

 

And how about a sound card?

Or are motherboard's just so good these days? (I have seen the aFaP video.)

Could you throw in an RMAA graph or two? (Cause that's not my experience, my Xonar sounds definitely better than my z97-a)

[bohica]

Oh my goodness, that is the best looking Lian Li case I have ever seen!!

I know not everybody likes it, but I`m in love.

[melias24]

[Knaj]

[Knaj]

But seriously Watercool thats sucker. I need to see that happen.

[Knaj]

WAIT NO YOU HAVE TO TRY SUBZERO ON THAT (EVEN IF IT MEANS EXTERNAL!)

 

JUST DO YOUR SUBZERO THING AGAIN ON GPU'S AND CPU, AND RACK UP THAT PERFORMANCE BABY

[Shin-Gouki]

Compensating for what now.......?

 

[Constantine]

What did we learn? Prototype builds on the motherboard box before putting everything together

[Satan]

This is so crazy! And the case looks amazing

[skogsvilden]

To few CPU's in there!

[Kip69]

The case is Lian Li PC-08. It comes with 2 Tempered glass walls. It should be in stores soon.
The RGB is an optional add on, the 3 knobs control it.
Luke doesn't know how to use the 3 knobs

 

The link goes to the q08, not the same. We have to wait just a bit more before everyone can buy one. Sorry.

Ok so I finally found out that the Lian li Case in coming to Canada August 15th ....
But how did you get your hands on a fractal S36 ?
Can we import it in any way ??

Also,128gb on a 64gb max MB+CPU..

EDIT:
Never mind I found it on Amazon UK

[HarmFull]

[Kip69]

The link they had was BAD!  Its an old case.  The PC-o8 is new, so new, its not even in stores yet.

But here: http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/pc-o8/

[TroubleKlef]

Suggested retail price for the case. $395.

 

jumps off a cliff.

[dylancjames]

I love the case, but what is it?

 

Edit: I would love to see a Compensator 1.5 with watercooled Titans.

 

I would love to see this also.

[jacobsavona]

Does anyone know if the Lian Li PC08 is available for purchase in Australia? I can't find it anywhere 

[Firebeast]

Can someone please make this on pcpartpicker? I'm trying to but im getting compatibility errors.

[blazinghydra]

So now that this case is somewhat more widely available, I'm definitely thinking of picking it up in my next round of upgrades. The idle GPU temps were a bit scary in Luke's build, but that's to be expected when running 4 Titan X's on top of each other. Given how much cooler the bottom one was running, I can't help but think that the fans on the upper cards were getting choked by the cards beneath them, since there was very little room between the cards for the fans to draw any air. I'd imagine 1 or 2 cards with waterblocks on them, using a triple rad in the front and a double up top would perform worlds better at both idle and load.

 

I'd absolutely love to see a return to this case, with a focus on high end watercooling performance. After all, it has been some time since we've had any kind of custom liquid cooling video, hasn't it, @LinusTech ?

[Robert Shaw]

He didnt wanna smudge the finish of the case, as for the specific gloves Ive got no idea.

I would more say anti static

[Swndlr]

I would more say anti static

Ermm he literally said in the video that he didnt want to smudge the case and thats why he wore them, but k

[KarateHottie93]

Really sexy!
