ZALMAN Fatal1ty build - Intel Q6600 + GeForce 9800 GT - RETRO Hardware

[@nikolakarovic5964]

For people who dont know Fatal1ty was professional Quake player, brands like Creative, abit, Asrock and many more branded their gaming gear with his name.

Awesome, I reviewed both that northbridge cooler and their CPU cooler in the early 2000s. I also have an OCZ Fatal1ty 1000w Champion series PSU in my main rig providing power to my Threadripper 2950x without issue after 6 years of faithful service. That case was on so many people's drool list. Brilliant retro dream build.

[@grindererrofficial3755]

Yes that case is SUPER. Agree

[@tskraj3190]

I used to have that case. The stock fans work really well but they are loud. I ended up changing the two front 90mm fans with 80mm Logysis green UV reactive fans with UV cathodes and the rear 140mm was replaced with a Aerocool Shark Green UV reactive fan. The only things I really didn't like about this case was the Motherboard to power supply clearance and the HDD drive bays blocked the front case fans so I ended up removing the HDD ddive bays and zip tying the HDDs to the 5.25" bays but overall the case is very solid and the steel is very thick.

[@volf3r505]

@@RETROHardware This gear seems to be from around 2006-2007(the fatality HW). Its amazing how time literally flies by. There is something unique in the looks of hardware from that period - especially those copper coolers. These days everything is bland and looks like it came from the same assembly line and design department. Also another note - we used to have more variety for chipsets for example during the era of the southbridge/northbridge days - ATI, NoVideo, SIS , VIA used to make chipsets - now only the CPU manufacturers make them (not that the entire NB is not technically shoved in the CPUs today, but still- AMD made this long time ago, yet VIA, SIS and NoVideo made chipsets for them for a long time)

Nice almost the same specs i had 9800 GT the core 2 quad 2.4 ghz not the most powerfull you can putt in there but a great pair with that board not so long ago i was checking out some abit fatal1ty boards to get me one again for a retro build to remake my old computer. That case there must be very heavy i used a antec nine hundered case in black its atx tower with 3x 120mm front intake fans and a 250mm top fan and a 120mm exaust fan. So airflow was not a issue . Only dust acumulation was a problem. The red bios on the board yea that was new and diferent on that time when most bios were blue. I recently build a gaming pc for a friend and guess what i went for a ASRock fatal1ty b350 board for the build guess that nostalgia got the better of me here.

well, I have 8800GTS, soon switching to 9600 GT, cause I'm playing occasionaly something 3d,and it has better power consumption. Maybe it will make you happy. Although I'm on Q6600 like this dude , too. I have almost year prepared Q9650, but I am lazy to switch it. I dont need it basicaly, it will only lower power consumption a bit. I told it in 2006 and I repeat it... Q6600 power will be enough for causal computer user, occasional gamer, and office user. It still applies after 15 years, I didnt mistake. Proofing it , going still on Q6600. I'm thinking to swtich to i3 or i5 after some time, ONLY because of lower power consumption, nothing else.

HD4890 is also very highend powerhungry card from 2008 if I'm not mistaken. Now I think GTX 750ti has same performance, but 60W TDP. :) But maybe you are old hardware lover, as me. To be honest, I'm currently building two socket 370 setups, on Coppermine Pentiums, one 933 Mhz is already working, and second, Tualatin Celeron at 1.3 Ghz. Also tried Celeron 800, very popular setup from year 2001, and downclocked it to 533A (66FSB x 8)... just to see, how happy were budget users back in 2000 with that speed. :) Anyway, tried to overclock it to 125x8 (1 Ghz) and it works!!!

i had to use my mom's Dell optiplex 755 with a BSEL modded Q6600 and i was genuinely suprised by its performance, it actually scores higher in Cinebench R15 than a Haswell i3-4130 cpu and easily holds 100+ fps in CS:GO The only problem with it is that if you are using a modern os with it, the Spectre and Meltdown patches slow it down significantly. The score in cinebench R15 was 230 while the patches were turned on and 302 when i disabled the patches with a tool called InSpectre
