hello sir, i wanted to ask what kind of processor would be a good replacement for the pinned celeron of this d530? i have this d530 in my home and i want to revive it and put windows xp or 7 on it... the celeron is damaged with several broken pins... can you recommend me a cheap pinned processor that would be a bit better than the 2.2 ghz celeron i have and that would be compatible? thanks
Hi, sorry for the late response. I would recommend a Pentium 4 HT 2.4Ghz SL6WF. The hyper-threading should really help with running Windows 7. Unfortunately, since the D530 is a small form factor computer, the TWP of the processor is limited due to the power supply, which is not upgradable as far as I know. Make sure your BIOS is up to date, however. If you don't wish to bother with your BIOS, I would recommend the regular Pentium 4 2.8Ghz SL6WH. It does not have hyper-threading, but it does have a higher clock speed. Both of these processors can be found for under $10.
This motherboard have hidden ability - it support P4 3,2 EE SL7AA but with modded bios.support 4gb of ram(usable 3,5 gb) and use the same cooler but modified.it is possible to upgrade with SSD .
The Pentium 4 processor which you mentioned might work with the motherboard and the BIOS, however, the TWP of the processor is well beyond what the SSF power supply can handle. It is probably doable, but you would need to buy an entirely new power supply, and then have the power supply sit outside of the actual computer because it won't fit inside the case, which could be annoying. The best processor that this computer can handle would be the 2.8Ghz Pentium 4 Northwood, with the TWP in mind. If this was the D530 CMT, then I would say go for it, but because this is a SSF with a special power supply, it's more tricky. An SSD will work with this computer, but most SSD's which would fit the PATA or IDE interface of the motherboard are far too expensive. You'd be paying $150 for a 16GB drive, so what I would suggest you could do is buy a SATA to IDE converter (which is only like $10) and then buy a normal SATA 256GB SSD. Don't go crazy about the speed of the drive. The IDE interface can only handle around 100mb/s transfer rate, and some SATA SSDs these days are coming close to a 400mb/s transfer rate in consumer PCs.
I have one like this for retro gaming, good video. I wonder if you leave the fan cover off, if it would get better air flow?
Thank you, AP! If not for your video, I'd probably brake mine as well, cleaning this retro..
what size is the fan that you use?
Hello, great video 👏👏
Good tutorial video.

damn, i should check them up asap :D thank u so much for your response

How the heck am I wearing the same ground wrist strap as you _and_ working on the same computer

I shall make a video on that
