[@mightychev]

@@arnox4554 honestly, their cases have sucked for a long time. My 750D used to rattle and vibrate, especially from a hard drive spinning. Same exact issue with the 4000D which everybody raves about. On the strength of the raving I used it for a build for my niece - she hates it. Especially the only one USB type A on the front (for no reason). A Lian Li 216 makes it look like the cheap, tinny, crap it is. My Sp2500 speakers melted a circuit board after 18 months in the sub case that turned out to be a known issue due to the wrong size resistor (there's a whole very long video about it) - Corsair refused to help and told me just to throw it away even though I could have just replaced that small circuit board but nope, they wouldn't send me one. My Corsair headset broke after 14 months from sheer plastic fatigue, they just fell apart one day. The drive sleds in the 750D did the same thing, they just disintegrated without even being used (the thumb clip bits on the end that you squeeze to pull them out). In short, I have learned the hard way that Corsair is a cheap, low end brand trying to sell its junk at a premium price. My Edifier speakers and Sony headset that I replaced the Corsair stuff with still look like new after 5 years.

[@WarPigstheHun]

I mean relative to $3k it's not THAT expensive. Whilst I like using off the shelf cheaper variants, there may be other incompatibility problem i.e, the cheaper fitting was made with more tolerance and allows some water to drip overtime, or perhaps the metal makes contact with and corrodes in the liquid. As a non-water-cooler PC fan, I wouldn't know, unless I looked it up, and I wouldn't want to use my GPU as the guinea pig unless I'm absolutely sure that this is ok.

They probably get away with saying their manufacturing plant from overseas make all of those and the stickers are valid for other countries. Not from USA and I don't know if any country actually have that kind of rule though. Though those stickers may serve as some kind of limit. If you didn't take it off you cannot mess with parts that are critical, and if you don't know what you are doing you better not touch them. There are idiots who think they know what they are doing but completely don't. If they took the sticker off and say, scratched the die with a screwdriver, poured detergent and water on the board to "clean" it, pulled off capacitors thinking they can just plug them back in, etc. etc. the company can refuse fixing it for free.

10?

[@enmanuel1950]

This video's funny cause the sort of people that would buy this gpu have so much money to spare and are probably so lazy (at least tech research wise), that they wouldn't even build their own PC. They'd probably spend 10k on some overpriced pc pre-built boutique like Origin and call it a day.

The scripting and editing on this video really felt like TV production, and generally not in a bad way. It did build a bit of distance from the viewer due to a more-corporate-less-KZbinr feel, but there was a great mix of entertainment and education all done with slick production quality that shows off the skills of all the team off and on camera.

this is the lesson i learned today

Just dont buy anything from corsair .... With how many things I have seen around from people and bought myself, icue sucks and most things break before warranty ends... Which is great cuz you get new product at 2 years... Never buy corsair wireless headsets they sound really horrible

If they kept it small, growing having control over their company, watching the product demand and being humble in personal expenses, they could do better but....thanks for the info. Good life lesson beyond all.

[@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 KZbinr researches the products they review, so now we got a whole bunch of videos on KZbin 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.

[@WidgyAinz]

RTFM 😂

[@silversonic1]

There was a significant flaw to this experiment. You had him HOSTING while he was supposed to be BUILDING. That killed a great deal of his time. Additionally, penalizing him for having to go to the store and get a different part is BS. The Geek Squad is literally at the store. If you're gonna make his time worth theirs, it should also have the benefits they have. And finally, this should NEVER have been a complete build to begin with. It should have been an apples-to-apples water-cooled GPU. After all, that pricey GPU-AIO combo was always meant to be its own thing.

[@EvanOfTheDarkness]

I think the idea was to stack the odds against them, and _still_ come up a bit cheaper. It didn't work out (thanks to Corsair's unethical business practices), but I respect that they didn't "cheat" and reshoot the video with a cheaper pump, but owned up to their mistake. And the takeaway is still the same.

[@Rachit0904]

they also OC'd the custom loop but not the Matrix. Lots of unfair aspects to this competition, as with any LTT video.

[@phil1511]

I think the point was to demonstrate that, for the premium that you're paying for the matrix, you can get more value even if you get fancy parts like he did. its not a strict 1-to-1 comparison in terms of performance alone, but also in terms of value and flexibility. And as for the time issue, i'd say that was just for entertainment purposes as there was no real penalty for going overtime

[@EvanOfTheDarkness]

@@Rachit0904 Graphics Card like the Matrix are factory OC-d, they just tried to match that. After all, the whole point of watercooling is the additional thermal headroom for boosting.

[@speedstyle.]

@@EvanOfTheDarkness But the Matrix can also be _further_ overclocked

[@erumabo]

Moral of the story: it's incredibly easy to screw up when watercooling. Better double check your shopping list and assembly plan with someone who knows, maybe 2 someones

I'm 40 and haven't had a PC tower in a couple decades when water cooling was hitting the market and the rgb was coming out to popular. I never built another and picked up a 17" ROG laptop and loved it for roughly 8 years. I personally don't like all that rgb stuff but I do like that case too show off a rog board with that cool stealth plane look and that nice clean pin stripe of rgb across the top. Watching your channel on these PC builds makes me want a PC again and need to save up that money first to buy everything at once all together. I wanted to try and buy piece by piece but always seen PC tech kinda advanced with the prices fluctuating as little bit of time moves along before I could get all the pieces to build a PC. My wife's fall guy's friends she plays with end up building her a nice Ryzen 5 cpu with a 2060i GPU or something like that and other nice sweet pieces. All we needed to do was buy a picture box, loud clacky mechanical keyboard that keeps me up at night and an ok mouse. I'm still having fun with my Xbox one series X and eventually get a PC when I have the money and time to get one. My monitor at the moment would be a 68in 65? LG nano cell TV 😊 if I had a PC.

That cost is insane. I remember feeling the same when i saw the temp results and noise. Did hardtupe first and actually went great, did not have to redo any bends. But later changed to the soft "industrial" blacktubes becuase of looks. Have never had any leaks after it was complete and no maintenance yet after like 5+ years, tho I have just clear distilled water (no color). Would recommend this to everyone who want temps or especially less sound (maybe I was lucky with my pump but it makes way less noise than just 1 fan).
