There used to be a guy here who had a beige box case housing a micro-atx LGA1366 i7 system that was running two GTX 480's in SLI. Those nuclear reactors were literally sandwiched together. He had cut holes into the bottom of the case for airflow.
I still think about that guy and his computer to this day.
I ran an OCed FX 8150 and dual HD 7950s (HIS blower style models) for a year.
Never again.
Remember when his family threw it out and bought him a "new" one? bros....
Hi.
Funny, I think I would remember that.
>nuclear reactors
Dude ... the GTX480 is only a 250W TDP card
You're still here? Do you have pics of that old sleeper build? Of all the guts pics posted through the years yours was my favorite.
Yep.
Is that sound insulation?
No, it's to keep the heat in so the nuclear reaction doesn't stagnate.
how are the temps my man
That was over 10 years ago, user.
what happened to the computer?
It's beautiful, user. Still is even in 2022.
Normal people don't hoard 10 year old tech, user
normal people don't really browse this site either
op is in love
Wow that takes me back. The tripfag who posted logical increments. Watch threads. Thinkpads being shilled were T61/X61. Good old days.
Wrong
>hoard 10 year old tech
This isn't the 90's anymore. 10 year old hardware isn't even close to hoarders territory.
so?
>Old computer bad
>Retro game consoles good
Why are zooms like this?
Shits been rough lately. I needed this nostalgia trip. I miss you old i5 with x2 MSI 7950 Lightnings shoved in a Haf X.
I love you dudes.
Not to mention the CRT monitor threads we get here daily.
Because repurposing already purchased tech is a bad thing. So wasteful.
What's the power consumption like?
