This cool 2006 QUADCORE Dual socket Opteron workstation is DEAD!

This Voodoo Omen Workstation from 2006 had some cool surprizes. 2 Opteron 2216 2.6 GHz dualcore CPUs, 4 GB of ddr2 and a quadro 3400. Too bad I couldn't get er going!

Welcome back Timmy Joe. That PC is so big, you can rent out the space inside.

[@matthewbusse1059]

We just retired a dell server (dual core xeons) from that era that was easily twice that big

[@nebojsabotic855]

Yeah The AMD OPTERON GERBALL APARTMENTS :)

[@thisjustanother]

and here i am, with my thermaltake core x9 lol.

[@pf100andahalf]

I'd rather watch a video about a broken pc than one about a graphics card I can't buy.

[@MJ-uk6lu]

PCs like that are much rarer than current cards.

[@Hantoo009]

We missed you, Timmy-san XD

[@evan3997]

[@hairychesticles1]

lol oh no

[@timohalofan]

XD

[@interlace84]

#gottastartsomewhere 1) Try a hard CMOS reset (could be the battery simply died and whatever's stored in there got corrupted) 2) Disassemble, check for moisture/leak spots, test the mobo outside the case to rule out shorts 3) Man idk this thing just rocks and I wanna see it work xD maybe try 2 dimms per cpu and switch 'em up 4) (thanks @Bill G) *CAPS!* So true :( those years the market was flooded with flawed off-brand capacitors; worth double-checking! Dual-socket systems also often use workstation-grade mobos, which like server boards can take *FOREVER* to post.. be sure to let it sit for awhile.

[@israellewis5484]

Yeah this comment needs some attention. I would also suggest these tips

[@emlyndewar]

Really hope for another video on it. Might be a waste of time, but it’d be great to see it back running.

[@pietrekk1]

bumping

[@farawaythrower]

Good suggestions bro

[@billg6059]

totaly agree .. AND i would take a close look at all the caps on this board . i bet its a bad cap stopping it from posting . almost every amd board from that era dies from them

[@QuarianPaladin]

I can almost feel the weight of the PC through the screen lmao

[@Supercon57]

0:30 the size of the pads on the bottom are huuuge

[@-J2gross]

I’m so glad you’re back there’s nothing good on KZbin so finally a good KZbinr is back

[@CaffeinatedOctane]

i wanten to give a like but it is at such a good number. LOL

[@The_Curious_Cat]

Dawid: "It comes with more then one stick of ram?? You lucky bastard".

[@joshuadeville1123]

I absolutely read this in his voice lmao

[@Pwnag3Inc]

Can we take a minute to appreciate this truly custom built pc? The voodoo feet and custom block is something you will likely never again see in prebuilt systems.

[@Hughesburner]

Agreed, seems like prebuilts now, they cut so many corners and you end up pure shit. I was heavy into modding and building from '04-'10, the water stuff wasn't too expensive but good quality (I had mostly DD) and it was a slight sub gene of pc building. I was one of the only few with a custom loop at my LANs, now you have so many AIO options, its crazy.

[@Eggwhites94]

Just to let everyone know that this pc is extremely rare, and only a handful of them were ever made. This was right before the HP buyout and is one of the most sought after cases of any retro hardware collector. Love the video and congrats to Tyler on the once in a life time deal.

[@mrsheashea1375]

That thing is like an antique ferrari with 2 engines! Fucking sweet!

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

The Quadro FX 3400 is a 6800 under the hood. If modded, it makes a REALLY powerful Windows 98 card and is definitely worth keeping.

[@Pasi123]

I remember you have already tested a system with almost the same Tyan motherboard, the HP xw9400 Workstation. Those motherboards support up to 2x 6-core Opterons from 2009

[@honzakounic464]

Glad to see you back, looking way better than before.

[@theejoeylee]

Yess sir

[@DrMuFFinMan]

These high end old systems are always really cool to mess with, with the exception of troubleshooting. Thanks for the video

[@melodiclodgings8]

Yes Timmy Joe is back keep up the work man and stay strong.

[@Pantifo]

Man, this takes me back, Timmy Joe. I was dying to have one of these Voodoo PCs back in my teens.

[@majorbogart3476]

I still have warm fuzzy feelings about Voodoo PC... they truly exemplified the custom and high end mentality. In the days of flat ide cables, they trained their system builders in origami techniques to manage the cables. Honestly, I feel that they actually started the trend of sexy cable management. I would do terrible things to get my hands on one of their old 24ct gold atx cases...

[@tripppyy]

I built several extremely similar systems for a company I worked for in 2006. We used them as workstations for some top secret projects. We also used them as backup servers for emergency management software we were developing and you're right on the money. They cost between $5k and $6k. Still one of my favorite builds to this day.

[@TheFancyLettuce]

gotta say i absolutely loved every second of this, a 15y/o pc and some 2stroke bike shenanigans, is good to see you back man, keep it up!

[@malccy72]

I had an Opteron 146 back in the day and was one of best overclocking chips i've ever come across. It was a 2.0ghz chip that clocked to 3.0ghz straight out of box. Thanks for vid Tim and good to see you back. all best to you.

[@uglybob7505]

Thansk for coming back Timmy-Joe, you been missed dude :)

[@Supercon57]

I honestly don't care that the system doesn't post... because *Timmy Joe is talking about computers on the internet*

[@kylethekingful]

Timmy Joe is back baby. Having fun making videos about computer parts! Good to see you on the mend brother. You're an inspiration to all who watch you. Thank you for your honesty and integrity in sharing your struggle. I wish you great success in your future journeys, including your counselling, sobriety, and building your youtube channel into the premiere PC hardware channel! You are loved bro.

[@vajidali530]

We need the trademark timmy Joe chair slide

[@Tristan1Barrett]

Hey Tim, I'm so glad to see you having fun and making videos again. We have all had a hard time during "coronavirus". I turned to drinking during everything going on, and I'm finally realizing that I need to find some guidance and help to get back to my old self. I'm so happy that you could clean up and have fun with your channel and what you love to do again!!!

[@bgtubber]

The Opteron stuff is always fascinating to me. It was the years when AMD dominated in the server space. Too bad it won't post. The water cooling mod looks sick too.

[@Joreel]

It's a fun history lesson of where we were back then. AMD was a great company back then and it's nice to see something from them.

[@fras2506]

Welcome back Timmy! Glad your feeling better and am excited to see you do and get better as time goes on!

[@BrandonJanoski]

That loop is wicked . I couldn't imagine setting something like that up, today.

[@Balasca]

Welcome back. Looking good. I love stuff like this, been building PCs for about 20 years now.... wow I feel old. This kind of stuff has huge nostalgia for me.

[@AcuraAddicted]

Yes, he is BACK with a bang! Glad to see you back, Timmy Joe. Keep it up!

[@Cyzer01]

Welcome back! Very cool system! IIRC those motherboards needed a separate bios speaker connected for tones. If it has been standing for long, I would warm it up with a heat gun first, you might have a stuck transistor somewhere.

[@tony8958]

Welcome back my dude!!!!!!! That was a lot of custom work on that one. The CPU and GPU blocks that are made like that are something we will never see again on prebuilts. Keep em coming Timmy Joe!!

[@jeannotthewissen8307]

Welcome back Timmy Joe. Congratulations on your first video after the hard time you had. I hope to get to see more videos from now on, but most importantly take care and have a good time again when making videos.

[@CLEARRTC]

Good to see you back in the swing of things. I remember when those Opteron's came out, Intel had just started or was on the cusp of taking back the performance crown, but in the server space Opteron's were still monsters until like 2008 or 2009.

[@TheXlen]

Intel didn't really take back the performance crown until like 2009!?! They became somewhat competitive around 2007 though

[@brettbainbridge3154]

Oh my god I just flashed back over a decade seeing that water cooling

[@MrMunkyMeat]

Good to see you again bro. I remember those in 2006. I sooooo wanted a dual Opteron set up. I was running on a Sempron 2500+ with 3 gigs of DDR 2. Lol

[@JOhernan00]

Hi Timmy Joe, See if you can find a PCI post card. Lets you run diagnostics even on PCs without beep codes.

[@stianh.4587]

I like the new Timmy Joe. You seem more healthy, and the slower pacing in this video is an improvement on your old self, where you always seemed to be high strung and a bit of a scatterbrain. You seem more focused in your delivery in this one. Stay healthy, my dude! Looking forward to see more content!

[@Nitemare1989]

my buddy back when i was a senior in high school (2006-07) had a custom built system using a Opteron quadcore setup and freaking knocked my socks off lol it was epic seeing it running old school World of Warcraft back then lol!

[@dougtemple8474]

That is called the VoodooPC Eden f:2, it was launched 17th Oct 2004. Welcome back Timmy Joe! Missed you

[@kennysboat4432]

Great to have you back Timmy! We love your channel and hope it stays around forever!

[@michaelperez3887]

I hope you're doing well Timmy Joe. I enjoy following your channel.

[@redturner]

oh the age of cold-cathode lighting. That certainly is a ballin' system. I agree with others down below that think disassembling it and trying to diagnose it out of the case might be fun, even if it just ends up being a long diagnosis video showing your process. Love that you're back bud!

[@dblegendsguide1734]

6:47 bro you had me dead there 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@OptimousePrime]

Great timing Timmy just sat down with a brew and fat munch to watch this! 😂 But really glad to see your back and doing better much love 💜

[@Madchris8828]

I didn't realize quad-core were rare in 2006. Wow how much everything in the tech space has changed.

[@TheXlen]

Yeah, and imagine that Intel actually was pretty far behind AMD during 2005-2006 time frame, even up to 2009 AMD was holding a steady lead

[@iamfearitself1465]

The moment I saw this upload I was like wait is the the old voodoo build video I saw from the friend of yours that was gunked up pretty bad, and also WELCOME BACK! it's good to see you're back up and kicking us tech community want to see you succeed! 🙌

[@brainiac9579]

Wow! I had a build that looked somewhat like that, but custom built, not boutique sourced. Anyways, those configurations were quite popular in that era for workstation builds. Sun was big on them, as I used them at work in that time, same CPUs, Quadro GPU and ECC memory. They were great at compile and running scripts, I don't know about CAD workloads. Great to have you back!

[@TheCRTProductions]

I'd LOVE to see that running. I haven't seen the other video on the similar system you had but it would also be sick to see that upgraded to the max with 16GB of DDR2 (with 8 DIMMs I wonder if it could take 32? Probably not but.....) Super rad system & video Timmy, great to see you back and fooling with PC's again, take your mind off that stuff and enjoy a nice 2006 workstation :) Great job!

[@glutenfreegam3r177]

Swapping parts is NOT troubleshooting. That is a really rad system, looking forward to more content around this rig.

[@tylersays-]

Dear Tug Jobs... we miss you 😘 ... hope life is treating you well!

[@sixtee5cuda98]

It's great having you back. The Voodoo Omen was a nice subject, even if it doesn't boot.

[@TheSinzia]

This is a perfect video to return with. Welcome back, we've missed you.

[@bmh67wa]

What a beast. It would be sweet to see it working again. Welcome back! You're looking much better.

[@DJHALFRO]

So happy you're back, Timmy Joe! Wishing you and yours all the best!

[@MichaelAppleman]

You should have a series about weird old computers like this and call it something like "Ancient PC Archaeology". Also OMG its Timmy Joe doing videos on computer parts on THE INTERNET again! 😍😍😍

[@superhack177]

Great to see that fantastic personality coming through again. Keep it up brotha

[@Dariexraptor]

Imagine building a sleeper in that beautiful case

[@RJBWeb]

Watching your videos is like having a chat with a mate about something we both like and enjoy. Is there anything better than that in the world?... It doesn't matter what you do your videos about mate, we just want to sit few minutes, watch and listen to you been you... And for that my good Sir, I thank you.

[@SaccoBelmonte]

This was probably a totally mega powerful rig back in the days, something I would highly hoped to have for music production. I really wanna see it working.

[@HeyImGaminOverHere]

I bet you can get it up and running, something may be shorting out the board. I hope to see this system again, it's quite the beast for being from 2006ish!

[@TheXlen]

Yeah, that case is really sweet! Anyways I'd hope that's an easy fix, just needs some more thorough touch

[@arthurenright4146]

So I'm old enough to remember when those processors were shiny and new. I worked for a web hosting company at the time and those early Opteron processors were unique and performant (for their era) as the memory controller was built into the processor rather than being offloaded to the motherboard chipset. The Opterons of that time were especially well suited for early server virtualization. I remember building Linux Xen fork kernels for paravirt for our hosting customers. It's funny remembering what bleeding edge was that far back. It's a shame it wouldn't give you any post codes, that would be a really cool piece of computer history to have actually running.

[@Nitemare1989]

also very nostalgic to see! always envied having a system that was high end like this back then, i was using a cannabalized HP celeron system from late 2006 to early 2009 because money was a fun thing i didn't have that often lol

[@gagehermann848]

that fuckin bike sounded like a table that jiggles when you REALLY dont want it to... lol

[@allenpost3616]

Thanks Timmy so glad to see you back at it! I love seeing the vintage hardware setups from back in the day. Very cool rig there, shame it wouldn't boot. I still have my 8800 GTX cards with custom Danger Den waterblocks I had set up in sli from that era. Great times indeed.

[@MrLukealbanese]

Good to see you sir, hope things are feeling a little better.

[@matthewmcsparren7534]

Man I do love you reviewing all the old PCs. Its a nice bit of nostalgia.

It’s amazing how something only 15 years old is such a dinosaur in computers. My car made in 2006 is still perfectly operable and relevant today!

[@awnordma]

The old Opteron chips intriguing, in the era they were really good and aged pretty well too. In theory if you bought a system like that you could upgrade to dual quad or maybe 6 cores a few years later.

[@gingersquatch9844]

I'm running dual quad core 2360se's on a ASUS L1N64-SLI WS with the WS/B BIOS and 32gigs of ECC ram.

[@JonnyBoyUltra161]

Videos like this are the reason I started watching your channel. Even though the system didn't work, this was still a great video.

[@johnflynn6140]

core 2 duo launched in 2006 the period of the E6300/6320 and the e4300 and it wasn't long before the Q6600 which was IMHO the first really good quad-core all very good overclocker back in the day.Glad your feeling better

[@BeefJerky4104]

When I saw that graphics card I immediately called that it was going to be a GeForce 6800 Ultra. Well, I wasn't exactly right, but the Quadro FX 3400 is essentially the "professional" version of that card based on a slightly modified GPU revision. The 6000 series of cards just have such a unique look that I'm nostalgic for.

[@thepezfeo]

Can it run with only one CPU installed, if so that would be a way to test each CPU.

[@jeffreyjeffrey007]

Glad to see ya man, back in proper form! Appreciate ya!

[@mikeytaylor1111]

Tim you are the man I asked for a video on a voodoo pc awhile back and you delivered! Much love brother!

Welcome back man, that is a cool computer either way. Keep up the great videos.

[@BReal-10EC]

Yes. I get to watch a Timmy Joe video during my lunch. I am so glad you are back and looking/feeling better. A viewer may have some of these CPUs/Motherboards lying around that could be used to trouble shoot this PC.... because it would be cool to see it running CSGO. That's a really cool "quad core" 2000s workstation. build. Way better than the space heater Pentium-Ds we had.
