Your 1st dual core or Hyper Threaded CPU

[ballastic90]

Intel pentium 4 prescott 530

 

[kaixax555]

I jumped from a non-HT Pentium 4 directly to a quad core i5-750

ya lor.

damn ****ing hot and noisy sia.

machaim jet flying inside your case.

Or like sitting near a pasar malam power generator.
Singapore weather so hot already need room heater for what?

I jumped from a non-HT Pentium 4 directly to a quad core i5-750

1 core 1 thread --> 2 cores 4 threads.
Must have been a very big performance gain

Who here has used Pentium 4 Extreme Edition CPU as their first Hyper Threaded CPU? (Or Pentium Extreme Edition, the Pentium D CPU with dual core and Hyper Threading)?

i used my friend's pentium d 820 before. also noisy like fck.
it got so hot he open the side panel and use fan blow.
somemore his pentium d is 2xPentium 4 90mn era.

jet + diesel power generator

That sounds bad. Summore Pentium D 820 only, what about ppl using Pentium D 830, 840 etc?

2 x Athlon MP on Asus A7M266-D count?

Wah, seldom see ppl use dual processor mobo. 2 cores 2 physical CPUs. Thanks for sharing.

Also a Prescott owner before.

It's like having World War II every single day.

Mine ish dee Coke Dua Duwor....

 

[Lecundra]

pentium 4 530 Prescott then jumped to pentium D 830.

Both got so hot, i had to get a scythe ninja and install two fans on the tower cooler itself. I left some rubber bands on the CPU casing, they melted after a few days.

 

[Hua_Hui]

iirc, some barton 2500 or something

 

[prezioso]

C2D E8400. Before that was a P4 w/o HT technology

 

[acidboy84]

I think mine was Athlon X2 5000+.

 

[Maeda_Toshiie]

I thought my Prescott was noisy until I had the opportunity to enjoy a 92mm fan running at 6900 rpm to cool an AMD PII...

Thank god for 3rd party CPU coolers...

I found this video on a Pentium D 925 (3.0 GHz, Presler, 65 nm). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBxRXqOX_rQ

It's GHz rating is not the highest in the Pentium D range, and Presler (65 nm) produces less heat than Smithfield (90 nm). Yet after 5 min of Prime95 stress testing, the CPU fan was spinning very fast (possibly 100% RPM) and very noisy, and the CPU thermal throttled.

Northbridge not built into the CPU and no hyper-threading and the Pentium D CPU produces so much heat.

Core 2 Duo T8100......

Gotten it with my Sony VAIO CR just 3 days after specs was refreshed and updated.

Miraculously, this VAIO CR is going to celebrate its 6th anniversary between 28/02 and 01/03 (purchased on 29/02/2008) alive and healthy...

Interesting comments on the old dual core P4 Prescott processors.

The main heat producer nowadays are the GPUs. The only reason that they don't constantly "heat up the room" is that they clock down during Windows desktop use. When playing games, they're worse than the Prescott. Amidst the gaming excitment, it's hard to notice.

 

[fockyerdod3r]

P4 3.0 HT, then AMD64X2 4200 (Still got this chip with me)

 

[escksu]

Opteron socket 939. My first dual core CPU.

HT got to be P4 lor.....3.0HT

Lol....stilll remember preshott......

My first dual core was the AMD 5000 Black Edition
