    The story with the two power supplies is because this was the era of custom pcs were power supply manufacturers lied about their power ratings (before 80 plus was thing) and couldn't actually handle SLI. Those supplementary power supplies were actually a god send at the time if you wanted dual gpus.

That's literally just flat out incorrectly labeling the product and straight faced lying to people about what they're buying. Was it like second hand shady ebay sellers or something who were buying 300w and reselling them as 600, or did a first party manufacturer actually do that and expect to get away with it?

    Hey! The reason those games kept crashing on load is because the medium and high presets kept turning on MSAA 4x or 8x. MSAA is old-school multi-sample AA and it is extremely GPU and VRAM intensive, especially back in that era. I'm willing to bet you could run most of those games at Very High / Ultra just fine with MSAA turned off (assuming the textures all fit into VRAM.) You might consider giving it another go someday.

    • @stevethepocket

      I remember on my old GTX 660 I often turned MSAA off and forced FXAA in the Nvidia control panel. Yes it made games a bit blurry, but it was still better than MSAA just for the sake of performance. I’m glad we’ve got better AA options nowadays, though of course a modern GPU can handle MSAA in old Source games no problem.

      I had a load of 2006-2011 gpus and what you said about performance hit applies mostly to pre HD 4000 series radeons where they drown like titanic after antialiasing is turned on. GeForce 8000 series were superior in antialiasing handling and had much smaller performance drops.

    The cool thing about the Crucial RAM LEDs is that they are electrically driven by the input/output going on instead of pure software based. It's true blinkenlights, like the HDD activity light. It's showing real-time activity. Too bad they ditched that for their DDR4 and DDR5 kits. What's insane is they even had a rare kit for DDR1 era. Corsair had a LED activity meter (green going to red) for DDR2 kits. I have the Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR3 kits (with the black heatsinks) and I gotta say, watching 8 DIMMs blinking on my ASRock Extreme 11 X79 motherboard based on true activity was mesmerizing; you could tell which pair of DIMMs were more active, etc. It was like watching the Connection Machine CM-2/CM-5. It did come with some software with just a few settings (like 4 levels of brightness and patterns) but nothing like the RGB LED kits now. I gotta reiterate it was true electrical activity though; wasn't like the software was just emulating it or something separate on top. The kits came in Blue & Red, Green & Orange combos for the DDR3 I had if I'm remembering right (early 2010s era of color matching PC parts). They were also one of the few DIMMs that showed temperature too at the time (something most people barely thought about). I really wish DDR4/DDR5 had something like them, one of the few things that made me want to stay on the older platform.

      I'm the kind of person who gets a case with shit tons of RGB, then spends the first day trying to figure out what unholy software I need to install to make them shut the fuck up and just either turn off or be a dim white, but I would *_100%_* buy modern ddr5 sticks of that RAM. Fuck fancy RGB, if you duct taped a dozen tiny red LED's on a stick of RAM and wired them to react to I/O I'd take it. That's the sort of subtly baller energy that makes a computer look actually good, rather than like it's only legally allowed to be powered on in june. (not to mention, it actually gives a very nice visual indicator of how much your computer is working.)
      (and, if it needs to be mentioned, the fucking *_irony_* that that "subtly baller energy" is in this brrrrring billboard of an Nvidia advertisement that was cursed to take the form of a computer case against it's will is not lost on me)
      edit : 8:32 ... perhaps I judged you too harshly, that too is subtly baller as fuck.

      @@tdata545 I have a bunch of the DDR3 Ballistix Tracers and there is software for it but it's not like what you'd see on other kits, especially RGB LED RAM. In terms of settings, every kit had two colors, and you can switch one or the other (I think the combo from memory is Red & Blue, Green & Orange). You can change the brightness, pattern (4 settings), pick which one of the 2 colors and turn them off. But I want to reiterate that the way it works is like legit based on the electrical activity. Like if you're playing a game or really loading up the RAM, it actually shows. There's no software sync for all of them, so when I had 8 DIMMs installed, it looked like a legit thinking machine, with each DIMM doing it's own thing, you could tell which DIMM slots were paired. Another cool thing, at least for the DDR3 era was that the software also shows the RAM DIMM temperatures. That was kinda rare. I basically bought a bunch of kits for my X79 board (ASRock Extreme 11 with 8 DIMM slots) because I love the Connection Machine CM-2/CM-5. I love blinkenlights. I even tried to buy dual processor Chinese boards to get even more blinkenlights since in some rare instances non-ECC RAM works (since they do some custom BIOS) but didn't have luck. I still have it all but moved on to faster newer computer hardware.

    Flipping the internal chassis around has a purpose! Around late 2004 Intel introduced what was supposed to be a successor to the ATX form factor, aptly called BTX. In terms of layout, it was essentially a "vertically flipped ATX" and, as such, it was incompatible with previous cases as some elements (like connector and I/O shield placement) wouldn't line up correctly. At the end of the day, BTX never really took off and that's why we're still using ATX to this day. This case, however, was released in a time where both were present on the market, and flipping the internal chassis makes it compatible with both form factors!
    EDIT: There's little tabs on the I/O shield and expansion slot plates, after flipping the internal chassis you have to swap those two around as well, and then you're done!

Bought it brand new back in 2006 or whenever it came out for $300 but I had a kid soon after and couldn't build in it. Ended up giving to a buddy for a birthday gift a couple of years later and then he gave it back to me in 2020. Last year I cleaned it up and put a new coat of paint on it and built a new PC in it. My goal was to do SLI when I first got the case but when the time came to build in it, SLI had been dead for some time. I still like the look of the case and the RGB fans light it up nice! Its one of those rare even for the time cases that I will probably never get rid of. A relic of the past!

    The reason for the reliability issues with the 8800 GTS cards is that they're notorious for cooking themselves, Nvidia ended up in court with computer manufacturers like Apple over the GPUs of that era.
    You can temporarily make them better with the oven trick, balancing the GPU on four foil balls and throwing the board in an oven hoping the solder re-flows itself. But it's only temporary and emits some dangerous chemicals not good for your oven.

      @@SunroseStudios The "oven trick" is equivalent to the tide pod challenge, we had idiots back then too.
      The cause of the failure of the 8xxx/9xxx series GPUs was bad ROHS solder that was too brittle. The heat from the GPU ASIC would cook the BGA connecting the ASIC to the PCB and cause the individual connections to crack and fail. The proper fix is to get the GPU reballed with leaded solder, and if you can't do that, keep the card on all the time. The card being at a consistent temperature would significantly prolong the life of the card. I had numerous 8xxx and 9xxx Nvidia cards, and the ones I still have today still work because I always kept them running. The only ones that died were the mobile variants, which is explained below.
      All that frying the card in the oven did was cause thermal expansion of the broken BGA joints and reform a brittle weak connection that would fail again in short order.
      The lawsuit the other person was talking about was less related to this problem and more related to a different problem with the mobile variants. The bond wires and chip carrier connected to the ASIC die had a manufacturing defect that would cause the connections to break. Either from the bond wires to the chip carrier or the chip carrier to the substrate package where the BGA pads were. This problem was terminal and fatal, it could not be fixed with a reball since the problem is inside the physical package.
      Going back to the ROHS solder issue, this plagued the entire industry for the better part of a decade, and is still a problem today. No other metal has the ductility of lead, and early ROHS solders used between 2005-2009ish were horrible in that regard. There's a reason why hardware from that era is scarce today, because so much of it died from either that, or the capacitor plague.

      @@SMlFFY85 no, Nvidea's SLI is why I swapped to ATI for a long time. I loved the SLI in the Voodoo2, 3dfx had the two cards directly communicate and nvidea had the communication go through the PCI which relied on CPU bus speed while it was acting as an ambassador between the 2 cards which made the process slow down. 3dfx's SLI version could effectively double the pixel generation which could be either used to generate twice the fps or twice the resolution or a mix of both. The CPU on this build would have actually been fine except for textures since it came out a couple of years after the cards, but with a CPU that would have available at release it would have taking all the clocks down to the bus speed before combining and putting them back out again. Simple math E6600 has a 1066 bus speed G80 has a 576 gpu clock, a 1350 shader clock and a 900 memory clock. The way nvidea did it would be on each card to half the bus speed to get the max gpu clock from 576 down to 533, limit the shader per card from 1350 down to 1066 and limit the memory speed down to 533 then they are combined which after the fact would make all the clocks max at 1066 gpu(instead of 1162) 2132 shader (instead of 2700) and 1066 memory (instead of 1800). It's why SLI SUCKED at textures, because 2 cards barely put out 10% more memory processing than just a single card. For a long time chip manufacturers bus speed lagged behind doubling graphics cards' clocks, SLI nvidea style would probably do better now that that has lined up more, 14900kf has a 6k mhz bus and the rtx 4090 doesn't come near half that with any of their clocks so two cards would would probably work pretty well now.

    I was drooling as you were opening this case up. 2 x 8800 GTS, a Core 2 Quad, removable mobo tray, and cold cathode ray tubes! This was a beast of a machine back in the day and what I was dreaming of as a teen.

    That would make for a sick retro-gaming PC. Somebody just threw it out too. Wow. - On that power booster PSU... I wonder if they were overclocking and thought the power booster power was "cleaner" for better GPU power? I guess when the CPU draws more power... it could cause a ripple for the GPUs?

    Had the Q6600 years ago in my first gaming rig. The difference in the Q6's to the Q9's (6 year difference) was so negligible. Those Q6600's were BEAST for their time.

    • @Beany2007FTW
      @Beany2007FTW 2 місяці тому +2

      The main difference was the Q6600 SLACR would go from 2.4ghz to 3.2ghz and (providing you had the cooling) wouldn't break a sweat. Bonkers CPUs for the day.

    • @Aguy6714

      Yes!!! My first real gaming rig was a q6600 slacr, with a dfi lanparty and a custom cpu cooling loop complete with uv dye, built new in 2007. Ran it at 3.4ghz by bumping the vcore. I ran that setup for 8 years before building my current rig in 2015 (got out of gaming a while ago). Those were the days lol.

      In 2015+ there was a clear difference between the Q6000 and Q9000 series. The Q9000 series added SSE4.1 support which was required by many games in mid to late 2010s.
      I have a Q9550 @ 3.4GHz stock voltage in one of my systems. It had a Q6600 SLACR before but it didn't want to go above ~3.1GHz, probably could have if I had given it higher voltage and had something better than the stock cooler.

    Pretty sure the "Drive Signature Checks" that windows does to verify drivers is what was preventing the display from working on windows 10/11. Since that gear is old, you notice how it worked on windows 7? We didn't check driver signatures back then. Next time, disable the driver enforcement checks during a boot and it might work.

    Brings back some nice memories from my early gamer days.
    The 8800GTS is a cut-down 8800GTX chip, but these cards are capped by their low VRAM. An 8800GTX with 768MB VRAM, even though technically having less horsepower than two 8800GTS would have made more sense even in those times.
    My first ever custom build had an 8800GTX. The CPU was also a Core 2 Quad, a slightly older one though, the Q6600 B2. I had 6 GB of memory. All in an unremarkable cheap case, which I later upgraded to a better one.
