hey guys, i got some used pentium 4 + mobo. gonna use the 3.2ghz pentium 4. but which mobo is better? Asus P4P800 Deluxe MSI 865PE Neo-V i got 2 used pcs to play with. just dont have the hard disk & optical drives
i go so many free parts to play with 5 sticks of 512MB DDR 2.4(or 2.8 not so sure) Pentium 4 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 Asus P4P800 MSI 865PE Neo-V Thermaltake 430W Nvidia 6600 Radeon 9250 arty: can build two PCs but just lack of power supply and hard disk
Pentiums run hot just put a good cooler on it .. retiring my Prescott to the server machine soon @3.4G
LOL. too bad the P4 are pretty hot chips. but both would still be nice to be set up as a NAS. Woohoo.
Cool and make sure you have a good CPU cooler and case cooling anything Pentium is nasty hot like this Prescott. Intel has really done a lot with power consumption and heat on the duos and latter series of CPU's. Been playing around a bit for my server machine and decided to use a Northwood Celeron I have here with a Katana2 cooler. Its 2.6G but have it O/Ced to 3.2G stable and here are my temps on it .. not bad
Oh Boy, i still have one of those Asus runing at home, its my wife box long time runing without a problem
