> wakes up in 2020 Actually, in my view it was AMD that did the hibernate. During those Bulldozer times. And, boy, did Bulldozer, and all chips based on it, suck. AMD basically admitted that, because they scrapped Bulldozer and came up with an entire different architecture called Ryzen. Which does what Intel did all the time: Real cores with SMT, instead of those silly Bulldozer fake cores.

I recently tore down a couple of matching Socket A rigs from Dell... According to the labels, they came out of the factory about 2 months apart, near the end of 2002. One had super crusty dried paste. The other still had drippy wet paste. I've even had a few Socket 7 Pentium 1 machines that still had wet thermal paste dating back to the mid-1990's.
This was my first processor back in early 2007. It even had the same stock cooler. I tried overclocking it as a preteen and ended up burning caps off of the Asus P5PL2. This video brings back so many memories!
Nice find for a collection. The oldest electronic that I have even with its papers is a Polaroid land camera model 20. Still has its original case and manuals, including a coupon for 50% off of film. That coupon expires on August 31st, 1967. But yeah, nice collection piece.
Wow! back in 2003, when I was in college and build a new PC, i remember I had Pentium 4 processor and paired it with a Intel 845 (if I remember) motherboard. with 512 MB of RAM. This video gave me that nostalgic feeling. Thanks mate!
I had one of these, top of the line when it released. The stock cooler did a terrible job at keeping it cool, had all kinds of issues with thermal throttling and instability. I put an aftermarket thermaltake cooler on it and it kept it stable but was still ridiculously hot.
I still have my Pentium 4 3Ghz Northwood on a socket 478 mainboard with 1GB RAM and a 9800 XT, too. It's the first PC I built and this is part of the reason why I kept it and will keep it. But mostly because this sturdy little machine has seen everything from 1942 to 2142 and beyond. So much nostalgia and it still runs. Funny to think this was almost high end back then.

I remember replacing a Celeron powered emachine back in the mid 2000's with p4. I think I bumped up the freq from 2.4ghz to 3.xx GHz with better l1 or l2 cache(maybe both?) And maybe went from 533 fsb to 800 fsb iirc. Had a sleeper pc for a small period of time. I then found out through rummaging pc forums that the emachine MBs were notorious for faulty capacitors. Mostly with them eventually leaking. No O/C capability here so I ran it until my HDD failed and took it to a PC recycling center. If memory serves me right, the caps were still good after 7 years of daily use (2005-2012). I must've gotten a better quality board than the norm. Even the stick PSU was still good.
mmm the pentium . It was all over my highschool and i remember compared to my single core celeron laptop the pentium 4 D i think was it dualcore ran super smoothly and snappy AF with WindowsXP
I had similar Pentium 4 HT 3,2GHz but it was from 2003 and it supported 32-bit only. But this cpu can keep up in these days but not with modern titles. I used to play Mafia II on it with GTX 650 but with 2GB RAM only.
I remember back in 2007, I was amazed by the Pentium 4, simply because all I have at the time was a 800 MHz Pentium 3. Then I tried my cousin's P4 PC and immediately disappointed on the performance lol. Then I tried a Core 2 Duo PC and my mind was blown. Don't even get started on the Quad
You got the SL9KF - D0 stepping - a miserly 65W TDP compared to the 84/86W of Prescott and earlier Cedar mill revisions. NB. Some early LGA775 boards can't even accept Cedar mill
I have a slightly lower clocked version of this, that being the Pentium 4 630 running at 3 GHz. I have found that it actually can run Tiny7, a lightweight version of Windows 7, very well and will absolutely fly on Windows 2000, the OS I mainly run on it. If you have kernelx and everything working, you can run a more modern browser and I notice CZcams somehow plays decently on it on only 512 MB of RAM.
Yeah, i still have my OG Pentium 4HT 531. Though, i had more fun running the Q6600 at 3.6GHz with a GTX 1050ti. Also the DDR2 i have is 1200MHz, so that helps. It runs DX12/Vulkan titles like DOOM 2016 at 1080p 60fps with Ultra settings. I then dropped the 1050ti in a 3770K at a modest 4.8GHz and it was running Metro Exodus, Sams Story and the Two Colonels at 1080p 60 with High settings. One major tip. Windows 10 chips about 5 to 10% of performance off of a old system. I could run DOOM 2016 at 60fps lockedwith the Q6600 setup but, when i tried Windows 10. It wouldn't hold a steady 60fps. Installing Windows 7 back onto the drive brought the lost performance back. So, i'd recommend staying with Windows 7.
3.2 pentium was recomended to the later ATI AGP cards ( windows XP ) .I had a Barton 3200 with 1 gb memory -later means the 3850 or 4650 and maybe Ati 850 -Barton wasnt powerful enough for those late agp cards.
I recommend pairing this chip (overclocked if possible) with a Vulkan-capable card and then booting into Xubuntu or SteamOS. (You can find a non-UEFI build pretty easily.)
My first REAL pc i used to game on was a pentium 4 HT 3.4GHZ along with an ATI Sapphire HD 3650 512mb addition, it was actually an enjoyable experience i did used to play CS:GO using that system with 40fps xD but i later on got an i5 2400 and 750ti build which i used for a few more years then upgraded the 750ti to a 1060 and here we are, i still do have the old cooler master case, mobo, pentium 4 and the graphics card but sadly the GPU died on me, it'll post but give a "plug in power cable" warning even though it's plugged in.
I found a socket 478 Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.4 GHz complete in box on the local 2nd hand market the other day. The seller had no knowledge about PCs, advertising it as simply "old Pentium 4", and claimed it was never used. The box wasn't in the greatest shape and the seal was broken, so seems never used was not the case. But the cooler was never used and it seemed the CPU was indeed also not used (no thermal paste residue in the little hole these CPUs have). Everything else was there too, documentation and sticker and the like. So, all in all, I got a very sought after chip which goes for hundreds of euros on eBay on their own, let alone when complete with everyting, for only 15 euro including shipping. Deal of the century XD
My 12 yr old athlon x2 2.8 with 16g 1333mhz and gt710 runs win10 rather snappy and runs all my older games really well....not suited at all for newer titles. Thanks for the vid!
I remember playing Crysis on a pentium 4 dual core 3 Ghz paired with a 7300gt. I could play medium settings around 20 fps at 1024x768 or low settings around 30-40 fps average if I remember correctly (maybe it was 800x600 😆). Good old times ! 😄
First PC I bought was a Pentium 4 HT 630. I'm guessing it was one of the last with "Intel Inside" branding, as this one had the more modern Intel logo. Not that I got the system for gaming, but I always thought it would be unable to run new games because they wanted at least a "dual core" CPU.
I had a p4 660ht. It could boot up in 9-10sec. Ofc with windows 10. Also note that a weaker GPU with lower bottleneck doesn't mean it results in a better performance! The 1080ti always is better than 550ti
Windows loves to run loads of background processes, imo this is why old CPU's struggle so badly because they were only responsive on XP/Vista/7 when the process count was below a cap of around 120. As I speak having my email open, skype, chrome and vs-code the process number for me is sitting at around 300 with 3500 threads ticking away (that's kinda crazy!). I bet you could get that processor gaming at better frame rate's if the OS was encouraged to finish it's tasks (give it 30 mins to an hour), and a bunch of useless processes were terminated, hell even run steam in offline mode and disable the network adaptor to stop processes detecting it.
late Pentium 4s are best for late 90s, early 2000s gaming boxes. Games starting in 2004 got a lot more demanding (Far Cry, Half-Life 2, Doom 3), while releases right before that time even on lower end mid 2000s hard drive run smoothly. For mid 2000s games I would recommend at least a Core 2 Duo or a faster clocked Athlon 64 x2/Phenom II
Either OS swing , for that retro box endeavor, would be hosting noticeable [perhaps content entertaining] limitations. Running XP, would have far lower OS resource draw OV, at cost of 4GB RAM limiter [3-3.5GB actually usable] and hard cutoff to Driver/Game support ['2013?]. Win7 will pull harder natively, but of course most of your benchmark games are accessible and Driver supports still very viable, with good lot of your collected hardware... + Win7 being 64-bit, gives free reign, to fully using the mainboard. I wanted to make an XP Box, hosting an AMD-939 underpinning / AGP Graphics. But markets went so wonky and overpriced to hecc, I ended up pushing tech mindset towards a '2008 era setup instead [Intel-1366], as homage to release of SP3

I remember back in 2007, I was amazed by the Pentium 4, simply because all I have at the time was a 800 MHz Pentium 3.
Then I tried my cousin's P4 PC and immediately disappointed on the performance lol.
Then I tried a Core 2 Duo PC and my mind was blown. Don't even get started on the Quad
I remember back then. I was using a pentium 4 socket 478. It was poweful xD
You got the SL9KF - D0 stepping - a miserly 65W TDP compared to the 84/86W of Prescott and earlier Cedar mill revisions.
NB. Some early LGA775 boards can't even accept Cedar mill
I have a slightly lower clocked version of this, that being the Pentium 4 630 running at 3 GHz. I have found that it actually can run Tiny7, a lightweight version of Windows 7, very well and will absolutely fly on Windows 2000, the OS I mainly run on it. If you have kernelx and everything working, you can run a more modern browser and I notice CZcams somehow plays decently on it on only 512 MB of RAM.
Yeah, i still have my OG Pentium 4HT 531. Though, i had more fun running the Q6600 at 3.6GHz with a GTX 1050ti. Also the DDR2 i have is 1200MHz, so that helps. It runs DX12/Vulkan titles like DOOM 2016 at 1080p 60fps with Ultra settings. I then dropped the 1050ti in a 3770K at a modest 4.8GHz and it was running Metro Exodus, Sams Story and the Two Colonels at 1080p 60 with High settings. One major tip. Windows 10 chips about 5 to 10% of performance off of a old system. I could run DOOM 2016 at 60fps lockedwith the Q6600 setup but, when i tried Windows 10. It wouldn't hold a steady 60fps. Installing Windows 7 back onto the drive brought the lost performance back. So, i'd recommend staying with Windows 7.
it was probably pristine until the mail men kicked it down a flight of stairs.
Just pulled out a Pentium 4 PGA version from my old PC lasting memories
time to play some games...
*sticks the 1080Ti inside*
P4 :: AHH TOO BIGGGGG
3.2 pentium was recomended to the later ATI AGP cards ( windows XP ) .I had a Barton 3200 with 1 gb memory -later means the 3850 or 4650 and maybe Ati 850 -Barton wasnt powerful enough for those late agp cards.
What a beast! Pair that bad boy with a GeForce 7800GTX and 2 GB of RAM and you're good to go!
Will the P4 and Voodoo3 card work well with the upcoming Flight Simulator 2020? A bloke in the pub said it would...
A few years ago I had a fx6300 paired to a 970 g1 gaming and that cpu gave headaches with the bottleneck..I cant imagine this..
I still have one of these in my dad's old PC :D
I recommend pairing this chip (overclocked if possible) with a Vulkan-capable card and then booting into Xubuntu or SteamOS. (You can find a non-UEFI build pretty easily.)
My first REAL pc i used to game on was a pentium 4 HT 3.4GHZ along with an ATI Sapphire HD 3650 512mb addition, it was actually an enjoyable experience i did used to play CS:GO using that system with 40fps xD but i later on got an i5 2400 and 750ti build which i used for a few more years then upgraded the 750ti to a 1060 and here we are, i still do have the old cooler master case, mobo, pentium 4 and the graphics card but sadly the GPU died on me, it'll post but give a "plug in power cable" warning even though it's plugged in.
Would love to see the P4HT paired with a ATI X1800/X1600XT or something like at Geforce 7900 GT
Those chips ran hot as hell
I used to play Fallout 3 on this CPU with a solid frame rate using a 9600 gt and windows xp
My Dell Optiolex 170L has a P4 2.8ghz HT. Working till this day.
I remember my old pentium 4 was 2.4 ghz and no HT, this thing wouldve been my dream
keep up the great work we nerds Love you
My parents used to have a Pentium 4 640 in their old Xp desktop
I found a socket 478 Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.4 GHz complete in box on the local 2nd hand market the other day.
The seller had no knowledge about PCs, advertising it as simply "old Pentium 4", and claimed it was never used. The box wasn't in the greatest shape and the seal was broken, so seems never used was not the case. But the cooler was never used and it seemed the CPU was indeed also not used (no thermal paste residue in the little hole these CPUs have). Everything else was there too, documentation and sticker and the like.
So, all in all, I got a very sought after chip which goes for hundreds of euros on eBay on their own, let alone when complete with everyting, for only 15 euro including shipping. Deal of the century XD
My 12 yr old athlon x2 2.8 with 16g 1333mhz and gt710 runs win10 rather snappy and runs all my older games really well....not suited at all for newer titles. Thanks for the vid!
I remember playing Crysis on a pentium 4 dual core 3 Ghz paired with a 7300gt. I could play medium settings around 20 fps at 1024x768 or low settings around 30-40 fps average if I remember correctly (maybe it was 800x600 😆). Good old times ! 😄
First PC I bought was a Pentium 4 HT 630. I'm guessing it was one of the last with "Intel Inside" branding, as this one had the more modern Intel logo.
Not that I got the system for gaming, but I always thought it would be unable to run new games because they wanted at least a "dual core" CPU.
I had a p4 660ht. It could boot up in 9-10sec. Ofc with windows 10. Also note that a weaker GPU with lower bottleneck doesn't mean it results in a better performance! The 1080ti always is better than 550ti
With 1080ti its the ultimate gaming machine
Windows XP, 6800 Ultra then the original Far Cry, HL2, Doom 3 etc and it will be an amazing retro gaming PC
I did this test 8-10 years ago with a gtx 260 and it was a bad time even then. Comparing it to the e7400 at the time.
Please do the ultimate pentium 4 build soon, Im soooo exited about it with AIO....
Windows loves to run loads of background processes, imo this is why old CPU's struggle so badly because they were only responsive on XP/Vista/7 when the process count was below a cap of around 120. As I speak having my email open, skype, chrome and vs-code the process number for me is sitting at around 300 with 3500 threads ticking away (that's kinda crazy!).
I bet you could get that processor gaming at better frame rate's if the OS was encouraged to finish it's tasks (give it 30 mins to an hour), and a bunch of useless processes were terminated, hell even run steam in offline mode and disable the network adaptor to stop processes detecting it.
He'd be better off in Linux tbh
@@elsasslotharingen7507 yea, would have to be the right distro mind, Ubuntu can be a bit clunky now days too.
looking forward to an "Ultimate Pentium 4 build" 😁😁
I had a bad P4 experience back in the day, seeing that fan made me squirm.
late Pentium 4s are best for late 90s, early 2000s gaming boxes. Games starting in 2004 got a lot more demanding (Far Cry, Half-Life 2, Doom 3), while releases right before that time even on lower end mid 2000s hard drive run smoothly.
For mid 2000s games I would recommend at least a Core 2 Duo or a faster clocked Athlon 64 x2/Phenom II
Either OS swing , for that retro box endeavor, would be hosting noticeable [perhaps content entertaining] limitations. Running XP, would have far lower OS resource draw OV, at cost of 4GB RAM limiter [3-3.5GB actually usable] and hard cutoff to Driver/Game support ['2013?]. Win7 will pull harder natively, but of course most of your benchmark games are accessible and Driver supports still very viable, with good lot of your collected hardware... + Win7 being 64-bit, gives free reign, to fully using the mainboard.
I wanted to make an XP Box, hosting an AMD-939 underpinning / AGP Graphics. But markets went so wonky and overpriced to hecc, I ended up pushing tech mindset towards a '2008 era setup instead [Intel-1366], as homage to release of SP3
You should try running a lightweight Linux distro like Linux Mint XFCE. You might be able to play some older games on it!
