Sexy Hardware Close-Up Pic Clubhouse.

[Atomic77]

I personally don't see what is sexy about all this hardware.

IT'S THURSDAY, AND GUESS WHAT? IT'S #TBT!




It's finally here - the 18-year-old (probably 19 if we're a bit sensible about the actual production date) Pentium II 233MHz, from the Klamath family. Living history, well, maybe not, I can't guarantee that it works. Here it is with its companion heatsink, both all cleaned up with a razor blade and isopropyl alcohol.

Here is the back, the ol' 5mm aluminium plate that we all wish was smothering our FX-8350s and i7-4790Ks instead.

I still don't see the point of that sticker, but it's like trying to find a purpose behind the stylised sliver of silicon on Intel's SSDs and case badges. #yolo let's just have a sticker to make it seem like the CPU is underneath, because AMD doesn't have one.

Unfortunately, GreiverBlade's analysis seems to be correct, as Intel sadly discontinued this kind of Slot 1 cartridge design after Pentium II, seemingly shifting to a crappy plastic enclosure. They literally cut corners; the corners are "cut off" on the P3s.

There's also a S3 Trio64 that I dug up yesterday; unfortunately, I couldn't get it here in time, so the 20-year-old VGA card is going to have to wait until next Thursday.

Nice, a lot lost that casing for 3rd party cooling. I have one up stairs some were but it's just the main part of it as i lost the cooler that was on it .

All so reminds me of the good old times of blocking a pin to allow overclocking as intel were dead set against it.

ohhh yes indeed Intel was caring a lot more on the PII rather than the III in SL1 ...

All that TBT stuff was amusing (I found a Mendocino Celeron yesterday, socket 370, circa 1999) but this ain't the TBT club, so let's get back on track.

Did I ever mention how beautiful the SG08 really is? I really stuck my neck out for this 27.3lb carry-on, but who wouldn't do so for that 10mm front panel?

Nice. Same board I got. It's a sweet one.

Regarding the deliddings:

I delidded my 6700k... and killed it on going in a bit too deep with the razor. Fortunately, I am batshit insane and have some money so I got another one in the mail today, delidding attempt #2 worked! Nice decrease in temps... albeit a bit expensive considering how rare and expensive skylake replacements are right now.

I'm a big Silverstone fan, maybe not the latest stuff but the earlier stuff for sure.

Calm down man

nice!
how temops are?

well by using Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut on 2 slab of aluminium that act as a heatsink for the i3-4130T and the 860m ... (and the heatsink on the GPU make contact also with the 4 mem chip with 4 thermal pads.

it went down from max 71°C CPU to 64°C max and GPU from 82°C max to 76°C max ... the GPU is OC via MSI Afterburner to +138/+680 Core/Mem
and it's no laptop as you've seen in "your PC ATM" thread

-7°C on CPU and -6° on GPU is not bad at all i have to say ... quite satisfied with the Hydronaut ... and now that my etailer stocked 1 (one...!) Kryonaut version i feel a urge to order it ... if it was a 3ml (11.1g) instead of a 1.5ml (5.55g) tube
the Hydro i bought a 3ml (7.8g) really easy to apply and quite the top notch past, Hydronaut is only bested by the GC-Extreme while the Kryonaut beat the GC by a margin, too bad my etailer stock them 1 tube per 1 tube ... unlike the craptastick other like the AS5 AC AC2 and IC24

these 2 also belong here ... closeup on a i3-4130T and 2 Vengeance

Nevar!

Seriously, anyone want carnage photos? I have the dead one... hehe. Might not be appropriate for this thread though. Should've taken some delidded sexy pics of the working one.

 

[RealNeil]

See if it will blend.

If you're looking for a high-end mouse for gaming, the Roccat Tyon is a killer choice.

IKR, it's my second choice of mouse, used one for a couple of time until the ultimate multibutton mouse finally got released


that one ... (because only Roccat can beat Roccat.)


GLORIOUS flashless pics

Post them. Even a dead hooker can be sexy

I think this board qualifies to be posted here.

 

[RealNeil]
