Man, I forgot how much I like the look of boards from this era!
Can't wait to see what you do with em/see what that rare combo will be!

O1dschoo1 retro hardware playground
This is kinda a build log/log of a bunch of retro hardware I'm gonna be playing with for the next few weeks.
Just to kick it off I have a ASRock p55 pro coming in with a unknown CPU and ordering a i7 870 for it too.
Also a p45 ud3p with a e8500 4gb of ocz d9 memory and another 2gb of d9 gmh. Another e8600 to bin against my current and a Celeron d 3.4 cedermill for 6+ghz runs. @gtz @Jedi Mind Trick
This is mainly gonna be CPU blasting on air and water and fsb/bclk runs with some ddr1/2/3 overclocking
Also I have a super rare motherboard lined up from around this era thats gonna get paired with a super rare CPU and clocked.
Ud3p will be here Saturday and fsb overclocks on the e8500 will be posted that day. Waiting on a hyper 212 bracket to come in to really oc it on air

I just looked, I have one of those boards and an E7000 series CPU in the basement, sub'd for updates lol.
Snag you a e84-8600 lol they go for 8 dollars on eBay. Cheap fun for 600+ 5ghz + runs

I was thinking about doing some retro overclocking as well. I was even looking at that same board. Because I had a Celeron 360 that did 6ghz on air a while back. And that was on a cheap motherboard at the time. But I ended up botched the delid. So i no longer have it. But i was thinking about picking up another Celeron and trying again for 6ghz+. But i might have just hit the lottery then.
Celeron 360s are pretty cheap I have a few 356s coming in for the 6+ ghz binning.
I would snag a ud3p while you can. They are hard to find these days

Nameless LGA 775 build
Alright. I am sure with all of the luck disaster I have had this past year with builds that this should be smooth right? I wanted to build a LGA 775 that I can trace my enthusiast roots to. The intent is to get the whole thing on water and dominate. We'll see how that goes. There are a few compon...

I would still have a 790FX system too if it has not gotten water damaged, it was disassembled 2 months ago.Alot more 775 owners than I thought here.
Phenom II 1090T with MSI 790FX-GD70 and some Geil Black Dragon DDR3, only the CPU survived.
Although crap for memory OC, this board was amazing.

Lots of good memories of my A8N32-SLI. Still got it in storage, although I've basically given up on it as it's developed a strange error where it complains about USB overcurrent (even when no USB devices are connected) at every boot (and it refuses to go further). A CMOS reset fixes it and it'll boot, but any reboot/shutdown of any sort and it's back to complaining.
I had a gd70 with a 555 black edition unlocked to tri core. Was a super fun board but gave out on me lolol
