If you ever find yourself needing to actually know what’s going on inside your rig, just grab CPU-Z from here: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
👍Thanks for the link, here you go:
I was digging through some old hardware yesterday and stumbled upon an Intel Pentium 4 Core Voltage 1.382 V Motherboard that actually still powers up, which feels like uncovering some kind of ancient relic from a lost civilization. It’s funny how much effort we used to pour into these specific voltage settings back in the day, acting like we were rocket scientists just to squeeze out a tiny bit of extra stability.
I was messing around with the Intel Pentium 4 Core Voltage 1.382 V Motherboard the other day, just seeing how much heat I could pull out of it before things got dicey. It’s one of those situations where you think you have everything under control until a single spike turns your setup into a very expensive space heater.
I was digging through my old tech stash the other day and found an Abit motherboard—an Intel 925 x - ICH6R. It’s funny how much space these things take up once they stop being useful.
The graphics card uses PCI Express...
Well, I guess I actually nailed it on my first try for once.😁
Eto, if you need anything else, just let me know.
