Been almost a year since they said "a couple months." Still waiting...
yeah. It sucks. We are all here saving the world together. From the privacy of our homes and they still haven't released the part 2 vid lol.

Saving the world ? Really ?
I'm waiting for overclocking and custom water cooling . lol
Jonathan Boring linus probably dropped the hdd
Dude, I really hope they don't drop this project... It was such a nice idea
It's more than 4 YEARS LATER, and we're still waiting for part 2.
It’s almost 4 months later and we’re still waiting for someone to reply to this comment…
@@bikesandrc4387 2 weeks later WHERE THE HELLS PART 2 LINUS!
I think they stopped, because getting games on the thing is annoying due to how broken steam is for anything but Windows 10 XP
Well, that’s what happens when you try to game on an almost 15 year system
mate he meant 1-3 business days
Hoping for a Part 2 here, too
Linus: "a couple of months"
Anakin: "LIAR!"
Axel didnt die tho, he gets back later in the games

Linus: "Looks like a pin is slightly bent. There is a technique for this"
Also Linus: **Slams CPU into socket**
that actually works because the pins are probably alligned, but it just needs a little push to force the pins in
the benefit of PGA
you have to wobble it in
He didn't slam it in xD, he put the lever down that holds it in place though i also thought that he slammed it hard in there.
it was a weird cut.
@@ZR-os5ry I noticed that too. Just trying to be funny and put a smile on someone's face.
"Stay tuned" ... 2 years later they do a vlog and find the PC project gathering dust on some shelf.
Or he's going to drop it and give up
@@marcuswilson3375 😂😂😂
@@marcuswilson3375 You are almost right, like MIFoE. The fact that tech company make so much money is not quality, not even technology... Is the fact that they only increase memory and speed. All that was already obtained before the 90s. The fact is that they (Microsoft, Google, etc) discover that everything related to games can be used for war if speed and memory were keep at low levels of advance. Prices up, more easy money, and the new kids in the block get the idea of knowing, and inventing. That they believe. The truths is that they do not advance the technology, they (the kids) forgot how to think and to calculate. So anybody can go to the created plan,.- Do things that you think you know, and expend money directly to my pocket. Those are no more that a dozen people taking advantage. The future is darker that most people believe..

I know this was a joke, but those days CPU heatspreaders were soldered on so delidding was not a thing.

and Doom has default 60 fps lock so anyways....
Kur Norock Which is DOOM 3, one of the most demanding titles of its time.
yeah on a title that tried to future proof like Unreal Tournament did in the past! (so very good indeed!) they probably expected every one to play on low settings and only a few at medium and maybe only be able to play at high and ultra like 5 years later lol (that is why the Unreal "HOLY SHIT!!!!" sound played when you put every thing on maximum.

*Slams CPU into its socket*
"You just kinda have to wiggle-wobble it."
Yea... sure, ok, got it ._.
That sound was him putting the little arm back. The actual process of installing the CPU in was not shown.
typical linus
luckily that was a jumpcut
@@langam7017 The cut and the rapid movement of his arm made it look like it. Weird cut in general...
The editor had a little fun with that one.
Delid the cpu, liquid metal it, liquid cool it, and overclock the shit out of it.
Take apart the gpu, clean it, and use new thermal paste, overclock it.
Put it in a case that has both a 5 1/4 drive bay for a disk drive as well as a 3 1/2 for floppy.
I think it's only fitting to use an older style case. Raidmax?
Era-correct sound card with HD AUDIO!!!! (only the cool kids had hd audio)
And of course the most important thing is the roller ball mouse, because come on, those were the shit.
Edit: scratch the delid, I didnt realize that the chip was soldered.
For the OS, running windows 7 in "performance mode" gives a look and feel VERY similar to windows xp, and will allow for steam to be installed.
Also, for anyone wondering why they didnt "max out" the ram, they did. The CPU is only 32 bit, and thus any operating system installed must also be 32 bit. Assuming they're using a version of Windows designed for home use, this puts a hard cap of 4gb on the max ram size.
Edit 2: As the astute among you may have realized, delid may actually be a thing. Some of these P4s were able to be delidded, as not all of them actually used solder as the TIM.
An aside, yes, by "roller ball" mouse, I actually meant a "track ball" mouse. My apologies.
Some Dude I read that in Daft Punk Technologic voice..
oh god yes
The idea is to make it look modern, not era appropriate mate. Also Delid a CPU this old? You can't delid it nor should you try - it is soldered. The thermal paste between the IHS and CPU die nonsense started with Ivy Bridge.
yeah not gonna happen, Pentium 4's are soldered.
All of this and more like a backplate on the GPU, custom cooling on the GPU to overclock it even more. Add a shroud on the motherboard itself. Do everything that is possible.
3:20
Me: "Don't touch the socket!!!"
Linus: *Touchie touchie touchie*
It's been over a year now and we're all still waiting for part 2
You have to do the complete benchmark runs from that time. 3DMark2001, Aquamark, SuperPi... You know the drill.
You should water cool it, and then overclock the GPU and CPU more.
WATERCOOL!...WATERCOOL!....WATERCOOL!!!!!
And then run a benchmark with the original F.E.A.R.
and then give it 300 watt power and finaly buy the 1000$ stand lol
Wow, you watched the video and remembered what they said they were going to do and repeated it in a comment. You hero.

I'd like to see the best PC from every year and see how they all compare.

Awe damn, I was really hoping I'd be able to binge this build in one shot.. 😭
I love retro hardware and to boost it with the best stuff of that generation to build an ultimate retro PC.
I'd love to see how much an SSD could benefit a system that old.
Sata 1 was still huge in bandwidth compared to hard drive speeds.
not that much compared to modern HDDs, those 10k RPM drives were flying compared to our 5400 storage drives. If you had that 10k drive back then, you were a god, well same for that gpu, holy moly.
@@MashupsByMandy Depends. A WD Black HDD is a lot faster than SATA 1 speeds
It wouldn't, it would in fact destroy the SSD as XP had no support for them, no TRIM or management whatsoever.
@@enigma776 with auto defragmentation disabled it would be fine.

I’m surprised there aren’t more comments about it lol
Mount the optical disc drive in the back. The evolv x supports a mini itx board in the top, so theres already a perfect sized hole.
Alex fabs a bracket, and you mount it there.
How painfully aware it makes me that I am older then Linus when I watched this video and my response was, huh that is a lot more modern then I was expecting..
IKR. The first overclocked PC I built was a Celeron II 600 running at 900Mhz with a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP. Before that it was hand me down parts from friends
I hear ya. My Dream PC back in the day was a Pentium MMX 233MHz with dual Voodoo 2 cards. If I go all the way back the Dream PC would be adding a floppy drive to my C=64.
I know I was hoping he would break out a Thunderbird 1ghz and a pencil XD stick a dragon orb on it or something XD
Same here, my first overclocked build was a Pentium 120 @133.
Someone needs to send them an Amiga
I like these kinds of old builds .. Old But Still Legend 😍
Yeah......I use to build these 2-3 per day back in the days. Talk about a long-term PC build THESE models would last for 10+ years XD. Very very nostalgic feeling watching this video, so thank you for it very much so. Brings back some serious building & programming memories lol
Agp gpu,pentium 4 single core 2 ish ghz,pata,optical drive, floppy disk,mismatch pc board color
Yep thats definetly my first pc
only missing the crt. I had a 27" Plasma tv connected to a very long and thick VGA cable so i could watch my pirated 360p dragonballz .avi in bed ;-)
7:10 Alex is laughing his arse off holding in “your mom” joke because Linus is his boss.
I'm 37 years old and I've never cared about how PC looks. But that raptor x hard drive it is so beautiful. Whenever my hard drives fail I always take them apart and admire the beauty and precision of the machining.
I'm half way through (again) and y'all are killing me I NEED to see the result
Please play and get Frame rates (especially 0.1% lows) for :
Medal of Honour allied assault
Call of duty (original and/or united offensive)
Battlefield 1942 and the desert combat mod
Counter strike 1.6
Halo
Warcraft 3
World of warcraft classic
Gta: Vice City and San Andreas
And battlefield 2 :')
Mohaa, bf1942 and gta sa were the ones I really want to see
Something to note about GTA III,VC, and SA ,these games cannot exceed 30FPS because the game physics will be broken exceeding it. Example that I can think of right now is when you try to swim in SA. Try to compare by turning frame limiter on and off.
What about crysis for lols?:')

The Aopen AX4B-533 Tube would make for a fascinating ricer build.
It's key selling points:
-Black pcb in a world of green and tan
-Fancy huge "audiophile" capacitors
-Vaccum tube on the audio output stage -Routed through substandard onboard audio
With the Raptor you got the holy grail. Well done. CoolerMaster had heatspreaders like the OCZ had them for your memorysticks. Those were the days ( when RGB were 4 different coloured leds ). Yeah baby!!

Retro videos are cool, Linus! You just need to periodically dilute your content with such trips to the past. It's just incomparable when a fit of nostalgia overtakes you. Great video!!!
Please make part 2! I was devastated when I reached the end of the video and found out it never came out. I got into custom PCs only a couple years later than Linus, so I want to see what sort of 2005 shenanigans they can put in there. I need some EL wire, some cold-cathode tubes, UV-reactive spray painted motherboards, edge-lit etched acrylic windows, raid 1 HDDs with windows to see the synchronized arms... There's so much "cool" stuff from this era that we don't see anymore, because you can just go out and buy almost any mod you want. (Which isn't bad, but it takes some of the charm out of it.)
The front panel audio header is above the gameport header with the two blue jumpers still installed
That means this board only does AC97. But yeah, one strange thing about modern cases is that most still supports AC97, with the audio header conveniently splitting into both HDA and AC97 connectors.
I thought AC97 was from 1997 xD
Claudio Lluberes 1996 actually. But it actually lasted quite a bit until 2006ish when HD Audio started taking over iirc. I remember buying a A8N-SLI which had a HD Audio compatible chip, but the lower end cases at the time still only came with AC97 connectors.
"There's a bit of a technique to it..." *JAMS IT IN*
This takes me back to my 2nd PC. My first computer was a stock Gateway Windows 98 machine. By like 2004 it was chugging so my parents and I went out to a "tech store" and had them build us a PC. They honestly screwed us on the price for the hardware they put in it but it was good for like 5 years. Hearing AGP and Pentium IV takes me back.
It's almost 5 YEARS LATER, and we're still waiting for part 2.
I owned that exact same setup back in 2006
Pentium 4 2.4GHz @ 3.2GHz, GTX 6800 Ultra, WD Raptor 10k rpm
Wait a min, 150 bucks for that motherboard?
I got one laying in my closet, would have given it away for free. o.o
I think I do too, LOL
That mean i can have it? Lol
I've got one as well. Looks like it's a good time to sell.
I had one too but sold for 20€ :(
sold mine for 250 hehe
You guys make me feel so old... I remember when it was a Cyrix 6x86 or mxII and when Pentium MMX were the cool thing. Creative Labs Sound Blaster II, or later Audigy. When graphics cards were Riva 128 or 3dfx, and getting a voodoo add on graphics accelerator was awesome. When CD-ROM drives got faster and faster (8 speed, 16 speed, etc... Up to what 40x?) and when I bought a SCSI controller so I could install a Plextor CD-ROM Writer - write to my own CD-ROMs!!!
remember, that it's never too late to upload part 2...
Would be nice to see if it'll run classic WoW when it launches. Also would be a good opportunity for a GOG promotion.
It won't go well because Classic WoW runs under the modern BFA engine -> Direct3D 12, multhithreading, new physics engine, latest LUA etc.
That would run wonderfully!

Please, I would like to see Chronicles of Riddick (the game) on this machine
Indeed, I'm pretty sure Athlon 64 was easily ahead then, from memory the P4 was pretty disappointing and ran very hot. Intel also released much higher clocked cpus at the end of 2004.

AMD was already x64, so yeah, AMD were ahead of the game.
Good old DFI....
@@ilokikoval x64 was basically still useless for gaming in 2004 though, since to actually make use of it you'd have to run XP-64 which was a driver nightmare. AMD chips were still the better option though, regardless. Intel wasn't the smart choice again until the Core 2 line came out in 2006.
my dream PC was an AMD Barthon 3200+ on Abit NF7. back then it was beyond my financial reach, so I settled for an Barthon 2600+ on Epox 8RDA3i if I remember correctly. the rest of the money went in 512MB Ram, some 128MB graphic card and a nice 80GB HDD.
When I was Linus' age the Cooler Master V8 was a dream cooler for your sweet lga 775 and and the kids with the baracuda drives were gaming hard. 4 gigs of DDR2 @800mhz and an 8800GTS and you could run Oblivion at 45+fps. at 1024x768.
OMG, you even picked a DEMO - version of Doom? "sniffle" That brings up so much memorys, a DEMO disc, those were the days...

Oooooooooof
I have a pentium 4 dell optiplex gx270 in my closet. It barely can do anything, i put a custom geforce 210 graphics card with a pci to pcie adapter. The sad thing is that the windows 7 desktop gadgets would eat like 20% of the CPU, at idle. It can play 720p youtube videos but barely, if there is anything going on in the background it will interrupt the playback.
I still have a PC that's a year or so newer with an AMD CPU, but it's now used for media playback in my room

that particular style of heatspreader on the ram are fantastic. they feel realy heavy, and thats a good thing i think, I have 2 silver ddr3 dimms with that style in my server and the rest are black dimms of the same style. ECC of course, and costing at a whopping 4 GBP per stick arent too shabby.
I cut my teeth on PC hardware around this time, too. Good times. Couldn't afford the good stuff, but I did manage to put together a decent Socket 478 build after the Slot 1 Pentium 3 600 machine I cobbled together from e-waste didn't cut it anymore.
I remember takin' the ferry down to the CompUSA in Morganville, which is what we called Shelbyville in those days. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Give me five bees for a quarter", you'd say...

Also, "my grandparents" made me laugh out loud. Cheers Alex :)
Yeah graduated in 97 myself feel damn old...one of my colleagues was born the year I graduated high school, that one stung a little...
I only started high school in 2004. But my dream PC year is 2002. It was the year I got my first desktop PC, and despite receiving an older build of the day I really got into it. 2002 was also the year of the legendary radeon 9700 pro. I had a picture of one on my wall back then. 2.5 years later in Jan 2005 I finally got a new PC, but ended up getting only a radeon 9550, which is much slower than a 9700 pro. So my dream is to build the ultimate July 2002 build!

I was still in High School around 2004. I graduated the year after totally awesome dream from then.
I've seen actual vomit that was less barf-colored than that motherboard.
That is why at that time modders used to spraypaint their pcbs, be it the mainboard, gfx, whatever card. Spraypaint white with green cold cathodes was my thing back then.
Some companies are really good about keeping old drivers and software available. Creative still has stuff as old as Sound Blaster 1.5 drivers up for download.
It's not like it's a huge effort. The only thing they need is to give a fuck.
bargh70 Drivers for old system like Wind3.1, 95, 98, XP are generally not that big in size so there’s no excuse with hard drive/SSD sizes these days for not keeping old archives around, so long as the company still exists (or whomever acquired their IP). Also, there are a lot of third-party sites that keep old archives of drivers for companies no longer around, often uploaded off of old floppies or CD-ROM driver disks by users.
i'm still rocking a SB-LIVE so.. obligatory "KX-DRIVER" comment.
