Prajem ti šetko naj do noveho roku, hlavne zdravie a nech nas entuziastov do starsel elektroniky stale bavis svojmi vidkami. Maj sa a nech sa dari.

If you are using newer version of DOOM3 than 1.0, you will be limited/hard locked to 60FPS max.

[@RETROHardware]

I have same version for a long time without FPS limit.

[@WouterVerbruggen]

Love the FX-60! Mine runs nicely with 7900GTO in SLI. On a much more modest overclock of 2.9 GHz (3 if the room is cold)

[@PROSTO4Tabal]

come on upload video about it !

[@WouterVerbruggen]

@@PROSTO4Tabal maybe if I remember! I'm abroad now for study

[@AlexM-uh7sq]

FX 60 is one of those cpus that would belong in the hardware hall of fame.

[@PROSTO4Tabal]

retro high end is so cool to play with

[@Obie327]

I still have my FX60 with Asus Sli Premium board. I used an XFX 8800 Ultra triple X version at the time bench marking 3D Mark 05/06 back in 2007. (second highest score, missed first by 4 points) I think my overclock on the Air cooler was around 3.1 ghz on a Zalman copper cooler. (I think it was a 9500 or 9700 model?) One of these days gotta boot this FX60 up with my 8800 GTS 320 i still have kicking around. Thanks for the video Retro!

[@georgeskamagkas5516]

Awesome hardware and overclocks! A friendly tip for your CPUZ validations, just press F7 whenever you want to validate, it will automatically save the CPU-Z cvf file in CPUZ folder. Its much faster this way, especially if you are on the limits of the CPU on subzero cooling.

[@RETROHardware]

Yeo it is faster, I like this way under my control :-)

[@kiyanharchegani2588]

6800 ultra, my very first gpu.

[@MrLachgas]

Nice video, Socket 939 was also my time, when I did hard overclocking until Socket AM2+. AMD Sockets after that were not good for overclocking.

[@framebuffer.10]

"cool" stuff :-) although, looks like that this marvelous 6800 Ultra is too slow to show the full potential of the A64FX, would be interesting to see the results with something like an 8800 Ultra or GTX 285...

[@Punxter1990]

Better gtx 295

[@gabitan8891]

Nice man

[@DanielStirnimannGordillo]

Yu have the most amazing collection. Kudos fo your excellent channel and your excellent videos

[@TypeGraffi]

Nice retro setup

[@WaybackTECH]

TracerX baby wooo!

[@gravitone]

Can we please stop obsessing over the nvidia 6800 series GPU's? Yes it was the first nvidia offering with a decent shader model 3 implementation, but it's performance is less then stellar even on the high-end 6800 ultra. The 7900GTX offers a much better experience on a platform like this. It's probably a great idea for a follow-up video.

[@phillycheesetake]

I've always viewed the Geforce 7 series as the odd duck out.

[@adrianmunguia6055]

Excellent 😁😁

Nice!

[@tamw]

You were running way too low voltage on that FX60, you could easily go 1.65v on cooling like that for a benchmarking session. I ran 3.2ghz 1.52v on regular watercooling daily on my opteron 175 (I had pretty much the best stepping available, hence the crazy oc which was fully prime stable) for over half a decade and it never degraded. Great videos man, you have a crazy collection from the great 00s, when hardware just was at another level of awesome!

[@tamw]

Oh and another note, when overclocking fsb/htt on NF4 boards remember to lower the HT (hypertransport) multiplier in bios, you had left it at 5x which will bring the bus to over 1000mhz which they really don't like and get wildly unstable. Raising HT does not increase performance, and you won't lose performance until you go down to like 600mhz.

[@RETROHardware]

FX60 has double cache, this CPU in real is very hot vs. Opteron. Opteron is different story with OC. 1.65V is risky voltage and I don’t want to lose xxx€ CPU :-) I know with HT freq, I tried all settings but its not in video. HT settings is good to hold in middle way vs. final FSB you have on CPU.

[@tamw]

@@RETROHardware The FX60 and the dualcore opterons are exactly the same actually, same 2x1mb cache, only the FX has unlocked multiplier. But yeah I do understand what you mean, they are very rare and expensive these days, hehe.

[@RETROHardware]

You right, cache is same. FX60 is originaly +400MHz.

[@getroll2593]

AMD power! For 2005 year its amazing.if change termal compound on core(liq metall or etc) i think 3,6 is not problem for fx55

[@420architecMindNDesign]

love old hardware

[@_coffeeandcigars]

i have a DFI with AGP and a Opteron 165 Dualcore at 2,6ghz with 1 gb gskill and a 6800GT with unlocked pipelines. Sadly the Gainward 7800 AGP 512mb i had is dead :(

[@Triospirit]

Nice 👌

[@TgumaT]

The Toledo core (FX-60) does not like extremely low temperatures and loses frequencies. The best temperatures for the maximum frequency are within -10 ~ -20 degrees. Some samples show better frequencies at -5 degrees.

[@crazypowers]

You super

[@mehmetselim880]

Can you try xeon 5460 overclocking on p45 chipset motherboard ?

[@D3PeXoR]

GPU bottleneck on FX60 in those benchmarks.

[@ZeroHourProductions407]

Wow, a nice overclock on the fx-60 there. But seems you got held back hard with the 6800U. Then again, i wonder if overclocking the gpu would have seen some more sizable gains on those benchmarks?

[@RETROHardware]

6800U with original clocks almost in fire, maybe with better cooling

[@ZeroHourProductions407]

@@RETROHardware what is that program you use to overclock while in windows? I've not seen it before.

[@RETROHardware]

ClockGen for nVidia nForce4 Version 1.02 January 2005

[@ZeroHourProductions407]

@@RETROHardware doing a quick search, it seems the result i get is for version 1.0.5.3. would that also work on these?

[@RETROHardware]

just try it and you will see :-)

[@amdintelxsniperx]

at higher clocks k8 did well . the gpu was the weak link

[@kennysboat4432]

Where do you get your drivers? I have a open box NF4 with no driver CDs.

[@napalmarsch]

i wish is can find a fx60 for my retro pc or a opteron 185

[@icreepatnight]

remember my 64 x2 6000+ windsor core capabilities of AMD K8 ends at ~3500MHz

Hmm,I got the same 939 motherboard,brand new!!!

Anyone know why this amd athlon 64 processor is still so expensive?

Rarity. The FX's weren't cheap when new and weren't sold much either.

Pentium 4 was so bad CPU in 2005, like Core i7 nowadays

Oh, man... these benchmarks so booooring... test this heavy monsters in games will be better.
