when I retire my 4790K, it's going in a frame on my wall - alongside my i5 4590, Q6600, E6400, Pentium 4, a Celeron (D), and a K6-2+. It is the best CPU that ever existed.
@@aethertech - Awesome Retro CPU's you have there. I plan on doing the same thing with my: Pentium4 1.6GHz Northwood, Pentium4 HT 3.06GHz Northwood, Pentium 4 HT651 3.4GHz Cedarmill and my Core2 Duo 2.4GHz E6600 Conroe.
In regards to your comments at the 2:00 minute mark, I actually think these last few months have been the best the channel has done since it's inception. Good job on the revival!
That's kind of you to say. I used to have sponsors though and could afford to eat and pay bills. I think the content is going well but the business side of it is still failing..
Nice collection of boards!! Thanks for the shoutout! 🥰 Z77 with an i7 3770k is still super solid platform! Lauren I invite you to my studio and do a motherboard tour video of real retro boards and also we can do a build together! 😎
Absolute favorite video on You Tube after this intro I looked in my storage and counted my motherboards and other hardware I have 39 motherboards,45 CPU's, 59 GPU's (including 6 3dfx Interactive Voodoo Cards). My present 2 systems are a working 8086 with CRT display and a RTX3090 with AMD Ry zen 9 5950X in a X570 Aorus Master. Hoarder yes good luck with selling your old stuff I fortunately never will or have to. Over the years I think I donated 100's of parts to school charities.
As a 51yr old Noob to PC gaming this video warms my heart with joy this is tech heaven seeing pieces of gaming PC history such a wonderful video bless you for sharing I could rewatch this for weeks respect to your amazing presentation skills 🙂 you are an AMAZING lady
And here I am using an M5A99FX PRO R2.0 with a 955BE and 8 gigs of DDR3 as my home server, which is my second most powerful configuration in the house. I scrapped several 780G motherboards and Athlon XP processors just last week. I think I still have my Gigabyte Triton case in the garage. Thanks for reminding me that I have some more cleaning to do! :D
@Lauren, actually it was your z97 coverage is how I found your channel, I was shopping for mobo for my 4790k, (de-lided as well 😳). Your videos were very helpful. Anyhow keep the content coming ❤
The ASUS P8P67 Pro is the motherboard I had been using for 10 years up until January this year when I finally built a new pc. I picked my new case based off one of your videos.
I have an x299 Sabertooth and have had many Sabertooth boards going back to Z67. I was gutted when ASUS decided to switch to the Tuf line☹️ I actually enjoyed that vid. Great to see some of the older boards. Wish I hadn’t of shifted on all my old ones.
Lauren I spoke to Corsair in early January and they said they had no plans to re-release the C70 case at that time. I miss the Corsair C70 as well. Totally missed out on building in it cause I waited too long to build a pc.
Yo the black and red mono is actually sick! I need one for whenever I can afford a new pc. That's mental though I bet you could build a really good few pcs with just the spares you've got.
I would love a video of benchmarks, by the way the trend is that older motherboards are $$$ then most newer generation so you might have a gold mine in some of those z97's . I know because i was trying to find good boards for 1150 chipsets and they were easily 150-200 US in new or barely used conditions.... anyhow, time for me to join patron and message there as i am definitely interested in the non sentimental value items :)
that cute voice... i had this mothers gigabyte with AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition, rog formula vi & vii with 4590k & 4790k, rog impact vi & vii with 4790k
I built my best 2 systems years ago on ASUS P8H61-I mini ITX boards with i7 2700k processors and 16 gigs of ddr 3. I use the onboard video and have a tv tuner card.
This kind of videos are so interesting, its like those guys who are hunting pc parts at some forgotten markets. The only thing i have lying around in my shelf is a Maximus 9 Apex which was modded and being used with a very binned 8700k...till i managed to brick the bios by trying some weird things, however i think i can still use #2 Bios and i could mod it to run even 9th gen since the VRMs on it are very strong...all of this if i only had the money to buy another chip haha.
I know you say that you said nothing in this video but I think we heard the real Lauren in this video without the over-production of your other videos - I like it, more please! :-)
hardware archeology! The old boards were colorful at least, there not enough groovy art on main components these days. TUF did look good but I don't like how they went with camo. TUF z97, z170, x299 are the most distinctive imho. edit: you know what? They went kinda groovy with Inwin Alice. It's just a piece of cloth, but it's something.
Lauren you could have made this video 9 hours long with every ram chip, case, power supply, fan, led, cpu, and hard drive and I'd gladly watch all of it because like you I also love this stuff
You should sell even the "old retro" parts too! Someone who just wants a PC, to kids a first one to learn, or "for granny" or a replacement for "the old CNC machine" would be happy with them! There is still a market for those! Or even older parts too. Khmm: selling experience video- khmm :)
I got the Crosshair 7 hero board for my 2600X, been using asus motherboards alot but also a few gigabyte boards too, asus 5 year hardware warranty saved my skind when the VRM blew up on my Sabertooth 990fx board
I enjoy this video I have only built 5 computers in my life and only have a bit of knowledge when it comes to them but I love looking at them and building them is quite addictive IMO.
Hi !!! If YOU build up some computers out if YOUR LEFTOVERS at YOUR Garage, please consider doing a GIVE AWAY of them... maybe the "re too builds GIVE AWAY "... I love this VIDEO !!! It wasn't that long...
I have msi z97 gaming 3 with I7 4790k and it still holds pretty well these days. Especially for someone like me who buys games long after their premieres (im currently play Shadow warroir and far cry 5)
ive got a home for some of these things lol. ive gotta have a clear out of computer bits. but if it was all like that and boxed i'd just add more and use it as furniture tbh haha. im new to your channel so im working away through a few vids. its great.
Excellent! I really enjoyed watching this. On the low spec old side, I have two A68 and two A88 mobos, that I should probably get rid of, but they are part of my collection and I have a handful of APU’s that fit them. An A4 that was my first build just to see if I could. Cheap so it didn’t matter if I broke it lol. I also have an Athlon X4 845 which is probably my most powerful FM2 chip. I’m so glad that Ryzen was a success. However, as much as I love motherboards, I have a Foxconn H77M that is absolutely awful and I would love to stamp on it. It hates PCIe gen 3 graphics cards and I can’t get it to take a BIOS update. I bought a cheap secondhand MSI Z77A-G43 Gaming off eBay for the CPU in the end because it annoyed me so much. It’s a system that just runs VM’s now as it turns out Intel is really good for that. Thanks for choosing to upload this :)
Asus Z97 Sabertooth Mark 1 is currently in my Unraid server, I am thinking about painting the shield whit and making an oldschool all withe build in a NZXT H440 that I have, with an LCD side panel...
Shame there isn't like a donation service where you can donate these things too. My shed is full to the broom with cases and printers and old broken DDR Motherboards. You could build a retro gaming system or home theater PC with allot of that.
Ah but do you have a BTX board!? I have one from 2005 some how it will run games up until around 2010 at max settings with a mystery EVGA gpu I have paired with it... (I'm guessing Nvidia from back in the day) The hard drive sounds like like a tazer however... o_o unsure of safety at the moment.. Oh well, has a core V//V other known as the Intel 64 (was a marketing thing back in the day.) I can't make myself get rid of it, as it cost more than my current computer.. xD given inflation rates, I would guess around $3500 usd in todays money.
which motherboard of the ones you own might you give a thumbs up too for a ryzen 7 2700 CPU was thinking of spending a more for a motherboard then I did for the one I just got its a b450 but has limited resources so I'm really not liking it much only spent 110 $ on it am willing to spend more amazon has some good deals on over 300$ the gigabyte aorus x570 master I can get for 60 a month what do you think?
