Old PC parts are awesome and it is so unfortunate that we lost all this personality and variety from PC components in two decades or so. Now most computer builds try to achieve some specialty with unnecessary amount of RGB but non of them can achieve this feeling, can't really describe :)
That is the real spirit. Doing a bit work to get things working. Did something similar on the Socket A cooler for my Pentium 3. The mounting hook was a bit long, but nothing a Dremel can't deal with. Same for a diy benchtable from some old case. Also reminds me on the copper shims people put on their Athlon XP to protect it when using coolers with higher mounting pressures.
OMG I built this exact pc in 2009 .... so cool. Those TT Duorbs sucked but they looked so cool. God this brings back memories. Thanks for posting this. I still have my Nvidia 8800gt with that cooler running in a server.
That is just awesome! I used to be a big Zalman fan, and thought they made the best looking retro copper coolers, but that is seriously the best looking cooling setup from that time era that I've seen to date. Also...STALKER series...one of my top games of all time. Played through all of them and a bunch of mods. Might go and see what new mods are out, haven't checked in awhile.
Awesome build and skills man! I have a sweet spot for the core 2 quads. Thats what I started tinkering with after 15 years of being out of the loop. Now I'm back into computers doing what I used to.
@@RETROHardware even more costly tryna do this today, bc of you I started to get back to my roots when I started pc gaming & man getting retro parts is not only hard but expensive, I'm doing a retro xp build rn with a lanparty 939 ultra I paid 200 on ebay but came with mint box cib using a Athlon 64 3400+ with a asus silent knight the cpu only costed me 30 usd but the cpu cooler new I'm box costed me 80 usd, still need memory & gpu, I wanted a chieftech dragon case but that's impossible to find so got a ultra wizard case brand new for 200 shipped which that case is the next best thing and psu I got a ultra a 500 watt ultra it's the neon green one that reacts to black light, that costed me 60 usd and brand new in box, so I'm pretty much almost done just need memory and gpu
@@SeriousGlitcher Man, that's some coincidence. I'm doing a 939 build also, except I went with an Asus A8N32-SLI deluxe because I didn't feel like paying for a Lanparty. Also got an FX-60 with the board, and I'm reusing my old Scythe Zipang. For my PSU I have a Tagan BZ-700 with the glowing modular ports, and I haven't settled on a case or graphics cards yet. I have 2 Akasa Vortexx Neo's I'm going to mount on them, so if anyone has suggestions for appropriate cards/cases I'm all ears. I hope your build works out. Athlon 64 lives on!
And that is wet dream of air cooling before water blocks ;) Copper copper everywhere ! Excellent build again . Thermaltake and Zalman will always had the most inspiring designs ever
As a piece of modern art, this is a masterpiece build of the Zalmanesque copper coiled cooler aesthetic. I love it and wish cooler manufacturers still built in this style.
@@chilldudie242 well it will be 13 years old this year... and since it cant run any of the latest games due to lack of dx11 and higher i think its pretty safe to call it retro. btw the hd4850 was my first proper gaming card back in 2009.
Really unique looking setup and a surprising amount of work went into it. Those coolers really look nice when they're brand new. Are you planning on keeping this together or are you taking it apart after this video?
Interesting take on a diy vertical gpu mount there, motherboard probably only needs a bios update too support the q9300 or whatever the processor was, got plenty of room for overclocking the q6600 for sure, 3 ghz should be no sweat, just lowering ram speed one step from its rated overclock speed, putting 333 fsb & a bit more core voltage if it's unstable & it's done pretty much.
I love this build. I can tell that you put a lot of thought and time preparing. Building custom computers is a lot of fun. Great job and I'm definitely subscribing to this channel
Super cool, a sea of copper in one build, very well thought out. Those GPU standoffs were a bit overkill but if you wanted it screwed in it's a great technical solution. Too bad for no PCI sound but I guess this is the point where on-board audio was starting to get decent (P35, P45 and on).
I still remember when I first saw this motherboard on the cover of a computer magazine back in high school! Wow, I could never imagine I saw this video in 2021
I had these exact same specs. But I had two HD4850 in my setup. The crazy fans weren't there. I did have an all copper CPU fan though that look like those. Nice build!
I was having HD 4850 exactly the same model as here in 2010 and also same CPU there was beast of that time!Remembering Crysis 2 comes out everyone freak out how demandig game was.Old gold times,before that gpu i was have HD 3850
That's very different, but it reminds me of the cool Zalman CPU cooler i had many years ago, and i still like the look of that. If only they'd make the side panel complete mesh, you could do more with such designs and flow the air straight out the side panel. Crazy but cool build, too bad the one LED is red. But it just looks like basically nothing out there.
my first "high end" system was an Athlon X2 7750 BE with a HD 4850 on DuoRbs!!!! quiet af, and excelent cooling! for the cpu i was using a Gelid Solutions Silent Spirit!, i clocked that bad boy to 3.2ghz from its original 2.7
Wow, this build came out really great... Nicely symmetrical with dual fans on both sides... One thing i wonder... Why isone fan red? Hahaha. Looks cool though. Maybe a few incandescent lights (oven lights, undervolted) at the level of the motherboard could give the copper a nice golden sheen to enhance the look? Just an idea ;) i like lights
I'm planning on a copper build myself. Got a Zalman CNPS 9500 and a Maximus Formula. All it takes is a massive chunk of copper for the HD 4870 Those RAM coolers are so overkill. I mean, they aren't needed, DDR2 stays cool even with oc, but I love how they look.

I've seen these accessories before separately. Never in my life have I ever seen all of them on one computer. We need to bring back PCs with style.
I think too much effort and cost for brand , so may never again see ones like that:/
OMG I built this exact pc in 2009 .... so cool. Those TT Duorbs sucked but they looked so cool. God this brings back memories.
Thanks for posting this.

Those temps on the 4850 are really something, below 40c at full load! excellent work man!
Such a great Era of pc technology beautiful build
RAM with heatsink and fan, CPU with fancy heatsink and graphic card custom with fancy heatsink. It totally fancy.
that GPU mounting strategy is top notch, props to you!
That one fan with the red leds... aughh what were thermaltake thinking???
who knows :-)
bro that red fan killed my vibe, i would buy 2 just to swap a fan out
You assumed Thermaltake was attempting to think... The same company that made the Volcano 9...
bro its like 2008 tech they where thinking good....
Haha, nice, 74 people thought the same
This RUclips channel is awesome. Keep going. And long live 775 :)
Brings back memories of looking at products for hours on eshops from when I was younger.
Продолжай заниматься этим, у тебя отлично получается!
Эстетика в этих видосах зашкаливает.
Крепление видеокарты - мое почтение!
I remember this being my first build, Core 2 Quad Q6600 hooked up to a GeForce 9500GT, soo many memories, glad you can bring back soo many memories
Wow that thing sure is pretty funky!
And that RAM clearance was tight, with a very interesting GPU mount

So cool that you found these coolers new in box.
Great craftsmanship and attention to detail! Loved the way you tackled the fitment issues!
How much copper do you want ? YES! I totaly dig this build mate. It's something that I used to drool over back when this stuff was new.
Шикарное видео!
Подборка раритетных комплектующих удивительная. Я вообще первы раз вижу такие комплекты охлаждения, а ведь они из середины 2000-х)
I don't know what to say, that hasn't already been said. You managed to make this collection of parts, into a work of art. Well done, sir.
Just write some "Yeah..." answers like I did xD
What a fuckin AWESOME video! Great shit mate!!!
I feel this comment in Australian.
Wow, these old machines have great vibes. Good old days. 2:19
A rollercoaster or a drone?
Yes.
Fantastic build, I wonder if anyone back in the day tried to assemble these parts.
not to much people, these coolers were quite expensive and noisy ... I saw lot of hates and customers returned items to shops

This isn't only PC building
This is ART
Bravo👏

Just Epic the way the copper stands out is greatly !

absolutely love the look of this build, heatpipes ago ago and flower orbs ftw
This is the first youtube channel my son ever has seen he is 9 months old
I love retro hardware
The nostalgia is real
one of the best builds i have seen in a long time. great work.
The good ol days of cutting edge of PC tech
получилось как атомная станция в миниатюре.))
Ад да
Awesome. Makes me feel like watching some MacGyver or A-Team episode. 👍
I really love this retro PC build and several builds like this, The style and look is not replicable or can't be replaced by modern tech
"Retro"... I'm watching this on mine HD4850 by ASUS, same cooler, but with painting on it
Eternally retro !!

Had the XFX HD4850s 1GB edition in crossfire back in the day. Good cards, good times.
This is a real steampunk motherboard

I’m just going to say it. This is freaking sick.
I miss the old school stuff and the games were better back then too
I was a big Zalman fan back then and I wanted that motherboard so much!
No words can describe how amazing it is.
"how many fans and heatsinks do you want on your motherboard?"
"yes"
Remarkable, I am a fan of many Fans.
It looks like it's about to take off and fly away, I love it.
wow!! really cold Setup! You have room for Overclocking!
On a Retro LAN party I would be all over this! What a great built! Good job love your hard work!
One of your coolest builds!
Good for one of those clear acrylic cases. But you have to change that red led
that copper heatstink is truely beatiful
Man you should be proud of that. That's functional art brother
How many orbs ?
All of them, all of them !!!
Would you like some orbs?
I du !!!
I saw ATI in the video thumbnail and thought "damn, people are getting REALLY desperate for a gpu these days"
Cool build!
So, it seems you found my old PC from 2006. I had a G0 stepping Q6600, that thing was a beast.
all those heatpipes could cool down my A8 7600 lol, seriously older machines are totally awsome
I kinda miss those old school copper cooler
That is absolutely amazing man. It's true piece of art, I think it deserves a nice display case ;)
My very first "gaming" pc was a q6600 and an hd4870. How the time flies.
Although the GPU mounting is really janky, this is probably the coolest PC build I've seen, bravo.
I had these exact same specs. But I had two HD4850 in my setup. The crazy fans weren't there. I did have an all copper CPU fan though that look like those. Nice build!
Holy cow! Max temps at 46°C !? That's incredible cooling
I was having HD 4850 exactly the same model as here in 2010 and also same CPU there was beast of that time!Remembering Crysis 2 comes out everyone freak out how demandig game was.Old gold times,before that gpu i was have HD 3850
2000's where so much fun.

Crazy but cool build, too bad the one LED is red.
But it just looks like basically nothing out there.
This might have been the last time Thermalfake was actually designing their own products.
Still were copying Zalman, and look at how he had to use shims to mount the VGA heatsink, still shit-house quality back in the day lol.
It's awesome, bro! Like retro from early 20-ties! 2003-2004!
I would love to watch this beast pushed to limits, I had the same processor and a HD3870 before.
my first "high end" system was an Athlon X2 7750 BE with a HD 4850 on DuoRbs!!!! quiet af, and excelent cooling! for the cpu i was using a Gelid Solutions Silent Spirit!, i clocked that bad boy to 3.2ghz from its original 2.7
Wow, i have the same exact setup during my Q6600 days. I have two MSI HD4850 in crossfire, MSI P45 Platinum, 4x 1GB Corsair XMS
I really love your builds and your videos
Sounds like waterfall... literaly retro looks btw..awesome..
Excellent work mate!
Quel merveilleux travail, félicitation.
what a majestic machine, absolutely lovely, thx mate for this video
Damn looks good, seeing a build like this for the first time👌
The build of legends.
New hardware is cool but could we get crazy coolers like that back one day 😔
18:16 Retro hardware *turns the computer on*
nearest power plant: *Jesus christ, i cant deliver everything for you RETRO HARDWARE*
Now we need a Thermalright one: VRM, NB, SB, Back of the socket, memory... :)
This was one of the coolest god damn things I have ever seen.
wow the colling on the ram sticks looks great and on the chipset too!
Aaah the Copper age of pc building
Beautiful, really! Great job!
Really liked this video....the fabrication of parts was great.
Wow, this build came out really great... Nicely symmetrical with dual fans on both sides... One thing i wonder... Why isone fan red? Hahaha. Looks cool though. Maybe a few incandescent lights (oven lights, undervolted) at the level of the motherboard could give the copper a nice golden sheen to enhance the look? Just an idea ;) i like lights
Zaman fans... Good old days
one of the best enthusiast builts i've ever seen. looks like helicarrier 😁.
😎👌
Круто! У меня, кстати HD4850 до сих пор используется, правда память деградировала, пришлось частоты уменьшить.
Super figo,bellissimo da vedere....e in tema perfetto con rollercoster
That one red fan...
very nice build.
