TPU's Nostalgic Hardware Club

hat · Apr 13, 2020

Ah, I remember wanting one of those P4 EE's back when I had a socket 478 system and not much money to upgrade the whole system. That idea never took off the ground, but I did wind up getting an Athlon64 x2.

For all motherboards I have installed a new copy of Windows...I know that all my hardware works but I want to show you!

So Orthos or prime95 for 2 minutes for me it's the same :-D

It's more of a nostalgic thing for me. I used Orthos back in the day when I first got started with my Athlon64 x2 5200+. I never did any overclocking on my 478 system. Unfortunately, it got left behind in the past as better hardware came out and other software advanced. I still like Prime95 today (which was another tool people used back in the day), in conjunction with Extreme Linpack by our own @Regeneration

Hah, the Emergency Editions were ~1000EUR/USD and they came with a cheap stock cooler like that?! At least AMD had the better heatpipe cooler in their high-end CPUs back in the day; the cheap aluminium cooler was bundled with the cheaper CPUs.

The cooler have a copper plate in the bottom:

I'd have hours of entertainment of overclocking all those platforms to the maximum stable frequencies. :toast:

Another update, swapped one of the subwoofers (on the one with the 1TB drive) with a spare one I had from a dead 6530G.
Here's a pic (credit goes to DoZe from NotebookReview forums)

The usual one that comes with most 6930G is the beige inwards one . I managed to find the left kind of subwoofer in a drawer (left from the dead 6530G) and mounted it as a test. The difference it made was night and day. If the old one had some slightly audible crackling, this one was literally the closest to being as powerful as a 25W desktop subwoofer. I wish I had another one, because I'd definitely recommend this variant of the subwoofer to anyone with a 6530/6920/6930/6935/8920/8930 and has the beige kind of subwoofer. Believe me, these black ones are literal monsters.

you spelt Sturmpanzerwagen A7V wrong

eh? ... well it's nostalgic and hardware ... ok ... less nostalgic and probably too much "hard war" ... maybe

on the other hand, could you please post pictures in thumbnail if you have a huge amount of them (not all can keep the initial in full image ) because it's quite a pain to read and i do not have a low resolution small screen ...

AND NICE 3D PROPHET III Ti 500!!! my 3D Prophet 9700, II GTS Pro 64mb, 4500 and 4000XT are waiting her since a long time now.... "cry" found none till today (but i compensated a lot with some other ) will keep trying.

edit.... still a long way to go ...

you missed the middle point of my post ... i hope it's not on purpose because page Nr 363 has really become a p.i.t.a. to scroll thru ... it almost make me want to forget the thread (and that's my favorite thread here on TPU )

also for the in quotes answers : "give me time man" for what? for learning to press on thumbnail instead of full pic :laugh:

because the "still a long way to go" was for myself :laugh:

still happy of the 4 i managed to get to add to my other GPU's on my shelf.

and my initial answer is a proof xD i literally looked at your first post skipped all the other with the details and notified the III Ti 500 because it was not highlighted :roll:

it's not against you or your wonderful hardware collection of course ... :toast:

(i dread to open the thread on my phone ... 6.4" 2130x1080 would be painfull :laugh:

I agree 100% with @GreiverBlade on these statements.
@zanca.racing you really really need to put all these awesome hardware pictures into thumbnails as this is getting pretty hard to scroll through for many members that are visiting and posting in this thread.

Most aren't. Didn't need to be as the C2D and C2Q line ran very cool.

I don't think that list is completely correct. I've done a number of delids of many of the CPU's on the list and they were never soldered.

Could there be some revision/stepping changes whether the IHS is soldered or not..? Dammit, I don't know!
