cyclone3d wrote on 2021-08-01, 23:49: What CPU and are you going to be overclocking? What case? How cool do you want the CPU to run under load? I am planning on getting a QX6850.

Good modern cooler with 775 support ?

in Milliways
I am looking for a good modern cooler with 775 support. I don't like the plastic push pin design because it's too fragile. I think 212 evo v2 might be a decent choice. Any other ideas ? Thanks. Update: Just "ordered" a Noctua NM-I3 Mounting-Kit since I already have a U12S in my daily driver. I will …

Re: High refresh rate under Windows XP ?

use the xp 340.52 drivers, these ones are the best for kepler and older cards and allow you create custom resolutions and use DP connection because HDMI is very lame and restricted in winxp btw, instead DP if your monitor have DVI connection use it, it will allow 144hz, DP max refresh rate in winxp …

Can you feel the speed difference ?

in Milliways
Back in the late 90s, my home PC was a IBM Aptiva with Pentium 133Mhz. When I visited my father's office, I poked around on my father's office PC and the Pentium MMX chip (233 or 200 I forgot) was a night and day difference for me. It was so much snappier than my home PC. Then in the early 00s, my …

Re: Finally got a Ryzen 9 5950x

in Milliways
I am now on a Ryzen 3800x. I am itching inside to get a Zen3 chip but I still cannot get over the price/performance ratio. If I end up buying one, it's less about need but more about fun. I missed the days that every PC was screaming for more performance even with the top of the line CPU.

What is your unconscious motive for retro hardware ?

in Milliways
Sometime I felt that there are a lot of unconscious emotions behind my retro activity. My favorite era is late 90s to mid 2000s, E.g. everything between 1st gen Pentium to Core 2 Dual/Quad. I always told myself that I like it because it is the golden age of PC computing. E.g. Technology were …

High refresh rate under Windows XP ?

I missed the time that I can set my CRT monitor to 75hz+. Now finally I have a great modern 144hz 1440p monitor. I share this monitor between my daily driver windows 10 system and my xp retro build. (x58+GTX670. I know.. it's kind of too new for a XP retro build...) However, even at low resolution ( …
