AMD Athlon XP 3000+ and GeForce 4 Ti4600 - Pinky build #3 - RETRO Hardware

[@michaelthompson9798]

It’s a shame we don’t see a lil more creative fans coolers, colours on certain motherboards, cases etc as they create a unique looking pc and some less mainstream and safe. It’s clear you take pride in your parts, you can see they’re well looked after, cleaned and maintained. Love your content 🥰👍🥳🤯. Cheers 🍻

[@jackedup447]

Those coolers might be going for more efficiency these days considering how much heat everything puts out nowadays.

[@galihgame9471]

i dont know why this is slightly more beautiful than modern pc nowdays,

[@Cpt_Wolf]

Looks but it does not try as hard

[@WaybackTECH]

I continue to be amazed at some of the hardware you come up with. These cases and especially the coolers are not something even money can buy. You do not see that stuff for sale. Those Lanparty cases with the handles, woooweee! I last saw one of them about 10 years ago.

Brain:Time to sleep? RETRO Hardware upload at 1.45am Me: Nope, not yet.

[@hardwarechronicles9178]

the 2000's was truly interesting and exciting time to build pc's i know ive been there :D Great video as always

[@iceManSwag]

I had a very similar system back in that day. Leadtek NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti 4400 or 4600, EPoX motherboard, 2500+ Athlon XP 1Gb RAM.. Also upgraded then to Abit NF7-S mobo and ATi Sapphire 9800XT although I think it was same era but I like hardware & I like upgrading & overclocking & tweaking. Keep up the videos you are a real PC enthusiast. I like how you carefully treat the hardware and clean it all out just like me. Nowadays bloggers with more followers are lazy to do it like you & me. Keep it up!

[@robochao1]

this build is pure sex distilled and amd was the undisputed champ of this era. i used an athlon xp 2000+ from 2002 to 2009 and it was the machine my brother and i used to download, emulate, and encode anything we could get our grubby little hands on. we were stuck with integrated prosavage graphics but we didn't complain. much better simpler times when things like money, politics, and drugs didn't register to me

[@HuntersMoon78]

Merry Pinkmas Retro Hardware and all of his viewers

[@lordofvalinor7186]

this is beautiful

[@vonhapen1]

Thank you for all the colors in this dark times. Smart catch with the FAN-sticker btw. 😎

[@schizostrel]

Почему сборка современного железа не вызывает трепетные чувства? В то время, собирая компутер, можно было душой отдыхать. Спасибо за видео.

[@newagelogicman5809]

Может из-за того, что в последнее время у классического компьютера есть много других доступных альтернатив в виде ноутбуков, смартфонов, игровых приставок, всякого рода немыслимых гаджетов, умных телевизоров, чайников, автомобильной электроники и прочей новомодной хрени. Сейчас тяжело уже чем-то удивить. А вообще, да, у нынешнего железа нет того непередаваемого шарма, который был в 1998 - 2008гг. Сейчас есть в продаже печатные глянцевые журналы CHIP, Мир ПК, Домашний ПК? Печатный украинский Hotline на сотню страниц прайс-листов можно было изучать неделями. Да и интернет издания уже не те всё по тем же причинам. Помните сколько компьютерных фирм раньше было? Диллеры, дистрибьютеры, реселлеры, интеграторы. А как выглядит, например, радиорынок в вашем городе сейчас? Что там сейчас продают? А автору канала большой респект за его контент, вот где реально отдыхаешь душой, так это на его канале.

[@Stermy57HW]

That's awesome. Really appreciate your pink build and good to know that you have not done any black boring build.

[@gordonfreeman320]

I always love seeing Quake III Arena. So many fond memories.

[@ZeroHourProductions407]

Even though it's "only" a directx 8 part, it's scary how fast that Ti4600 was in running those games. Well done.

[@phatcyclist]

Unbelievable, I had an almost identical gaming setup in mid-2003: XP-2600+, Ti 4600, 1GB ram, it was a beast at the time and made all of my gaming friends jealous. Cool video, brings back memories.

[@lonxx9473]

1GB ram in 2003? Woaw. Back then the only computer that I have was an old AMD K6-2 550Mhz 256MB RAM and a poor integrated GPU.

[@GerardoPerez]

This is so cool! I love seeing retro PC builds like this. Love how out there the designs and coloring for the motherboards and coolers were back in those days.

[@johannsmith5697]

this is like the pimped out version of one of my first pcs of the 2000's that stayed with me right up until beginning of 2011, embarrassingly, I ran ubuntu 10.10 on it without ssd at the end, as windows xp became too slow after a few weeks of a fresh install, really loved ubuntu 1010 on that pc

[@johannsmith5697]

@Jeroen no doubt all of the above, and increased multitasking and 2010 internet demands increasing

[@PabloB888]

Awesome video 🙂, especially quake 3 gameplay bring back memories. On my first PC (P2 400MHz + TNT2) Quake 3 run with around 30fps at 1024x768 32 bit color but I was happy with the results anyway. Later on my father bought me new PC (athlon 1.4GHz, GeForce 3) and this game run at locked 60fps even at 1600x1200.

[@timothynolan7250]

Love it man, keep up the good work!

[@r3drumg33k3]

Man 3dmark 01 brings back some memories.....pin modding cpu sockets before the soyo kt333 chipset came out....

[@nimakhosravi6476]

nice hardware i always loved old hw

[@thesmokingcap]

Not many pink cases out there! Also some of those parts look really cool with the colours!

[@praack4563]

used that case on the left for a build for a little girl about 15 years ago or so. and boy i remember those motherboards- and the via chipsets never built a photon though- memory lane otherwise..

[@Ben333bacc]

Just awesome!!!

[@aceofhearts573]

I remember using my brothers gaming PC in early 2004 and it had 512mb of ram. I thought that was a huge amount and remember thinking how games would look with 4 or 8 GB of ram. Today I model as a hobby and my PC has 32GB of ram. How time flies. I wonder what gaming and PC hardware will look in 20 more years. Maybe we will be up to 512GB of ram on PC or maybe even 1TB.

[@alel963]

Es hat mir gefallen!!!

[@dracobunnyred]

god i love these retro builds i still have retro parts i want to build a retro pc , still need a awsome retro case

[@lonxx9473]

Man I love your channel. Where did you find all theses computers/parts? Love these old amd cpus. Greetings from France 🇫🇷👍

[@eucalyptux]

I would have loved to see a UV neon shine on that beautiful hardware throug a side window ! Love that full copper GPU heatsink too ! and thanks for the tips about the double sided tape for those unsticky fan sticker

[@joaoc_PT]

Still got my old amd xp-m to also build another retro pc

[@draggonhedd]

Man i really wish you could still get PC parts in colors.

[@framebuffer.10]

Awesome stuff as usual! That 13.18V on the 12V rail is a little too beefy, isn't it? Btw that first motorbike theft attempt was exceptional :D :D

[@RETROHardware]

It is interesting. I tested this PSU with more setups and no problem. Don’t know how real are these numbers in MB BIOS.

[@acamon1966]

Amazing machine ;-)))))

[@computercloset6165]

I just built a modern build in the pink metal case pictured to the far left in the intro!

[@ilfaraone91]

I'm so proud i voted for a pink build 😁

[@Ben333bacc]

On the heatsink, there was a specific way to place the retention clip. Noticed that re-watching. Check your load temps to make sure its okay.

[@RETROHardware]

It is OK, I checked any socket A 10x times because small CPU die is easy to damage.

[@chasewilliams3949]

Retro computers are great, until the motherboard backplate goes missing XD. though seriously I frickin love old junk hardware.

[@andyhermenet6837]

That GPU though O_O

[@bundesautobahn7]

I used to have an Athlon XP myself once, it was my very first original AMD processor before my current laptop and my new Ryzen rig. I just don't remember anymore what kind of specs it had and whether it was a Barton or Thoroughbred.

[@pacochales9507]

Very very schumel. Thanks !!!!!

[@liliwinnt6]

wish you good luck for getting an ultimate Ti 4800-8x gpu

[@claudiodaloia3458]

Please, try doom 3 un the gf 4600

[@itstheweirdguy]

I would have loved this in the early 2000's! I could only afford an Athlon XP 2500+, and mine was a bad overclocker. Originally I had a XP 1800 and a cheap motherboard, my motherboard died and I ended up getting one that supported the barton processor. My GPU's were the Geforce 2 MX, Radeon 8500, Geforce GT 6600, once the 6600 failed, I used a Geforce FX 5200 for the rest of it's life. I remember playing San Andreas and using the mouse and keyboard and shooting gang members heads off, and I would switch to my modded xbox controller when driving :) I had two 17" CRT monitors plugged in too!

[@troglodude980]

You know if iWill KD266 supports the ti 4600?

[@grindererrofficial3755]

your girlfriend must be super happy :)

[@bloeckmoep]

Someone probably learnt alot about the pitfalls of the via kt600 and via8237, avoiding 3 ram sticks @ 400mhz as well as sata drives XD.

[@ther3109]

With Intel sparepart please

[@Shymon87]

Fortron PSU 🥰

[@gulskjegglive]

New video fro RETRO Hardware? Upvote!

[@scudsturm1]

do you have cards with an AGP Pro Interface?

[@FargothPL]

What are these LEDs next to the PCI slots for?

[@matt4193]

Why only two RAM sticks? Any reason the third slot is empty?

[@Ooogabooooogaaaiwwiiwiwiwi]

Hello can you give the product link

[@Lazydiv]

Omg those cases are so ugly! I love them XD

[@RikRikRikRikRikRik]

what do you do with these builds after the video?

[@RETROHardware]

storage

[@kokodin5895]

now get matching monitor and keyboard

[@phillycheesetake]

2:42 We need to go back to bare DDR with all gold test points. Electronics should look good bare, enough of the black-on-black-on-black covered by black metal in modern hardware. The single-sided stuff looks even better, with all the traces going to the controller. Even if it only holds 512Mb, 4 sticks should do any XP build.

[@warrax111]

Hello, why they didn't use all solidstate capacitors on Geforce 4 Ti 4600, but only some? It's Asus. It's expensive. Anyway, why they used electrolytic capacitors, when they already put some solid? Seems Asus didnt have reason to save every cent on expensive highend card.

[@ningen5]

MEEEN I FUCKIN LOVE THIS CHANEL

[@Azhureus]

Them colours man, Cyberpunk vibes. Looks like miniature of Night City inside the PC 🤣 Funy how Quake looks better than SA but runs 4x smoother lol.

[@grindererrofficial3755]

no cyberprank wibes pls. We dont wanna set fire with those maschines :D

[@Azhureus]

@@grindererrofficial3755 yeah true :D

[@SSEi02]

I had a build like this and basically tossed it in the bin in like 2012-2013 😢

[@PrestissimoMasterStation]

European Princess PCs

[@garyr7027]

Best AGP card I ever used before PCIe came out, was a Nvidia FX5200 with 512 mb of video ram. I ran many K7 CPU's and boards back in those days. Several CPU's and boards died on me but that video card just kept goin... it worked flawless till the day I got rid of it.

[@gutemberglopes4616]

Rodando gta San Andreas a 35 fps tá bom eim

[@keeperofthegood]

Ok I was stuck for it when I redid a fan recently and I used J&J Baby Oil. While baby oil is 99.9% light mineral oil I know I really should be using a proper oil. What is your recommendation for oil for these fans?

[@RETROHardware]

I’am using silicone oil.

[@poolpartyproductions7611]

SOME NICE PC LOVE TE OLD DAYS HAVE MY SELF SOME GOOD WORKING OLD PC STILL NEET A LOT TO DO TO BILD THEM COMPLETELY te most parts i have already cleed up like new and soms part are missing but hopefully tis new year it will be completely and ope the same great look like that of your only maby not to pink

[@RaPtOr9600]

Ah the legend Athlon XP hopefully barton core. Then Athlon XP = Ryzen now day Price and performance unmatched So is the Pinky build trilogy concluded ? Or is there pinky build intel series ?

[@altbeetle1998]

pink computer with games for girls )))

[@fwingebritson]

i am going to have to come back to this video some day because "GTC China keynote spotlights Nvidia technology and research" hijacked this video for an hour and fifty seven minutes with no way to skip. I am pretty well pissed right now and have become no fan of either China, or Nvidia. In fact, even though I have bought dozens of Nvidia cards over the years, I will no longer support Nvidia. Nvidia is now officially dead to me.

[@ZoruaZorroark]

i swear nvidia is getting desperate

[@ijuvatar]

anyone else read adolf on the ram by mistake lol

[@qlimaxbass5022]

Retro you are terrible driver 😁
