- Early 2000s Pentium 4 PCs are dying, and it's NOT what you think... What's inside this PC? It's a real shame too, as this would make a great retro gaming system.

Nice system, really nice case in great condition. Disassemble and wash all the components, replace power supply, replace thermal compound including on graphics card, replace broken heatsink bracket, keep the windows install. This is a time machine and worth saving. They are becoming rarer.
@@Paul-xs7ks good thinking. There may be another video of this system in the future
Both of my early 2000s PCs have no leaking caps and heatsink is in good condition
My pentium 3 systems seem ok too, i wonder if its some point in the P4 range, things went sour.
@@procta2343 i think that the main problem is that P4 is a hot CPU and the cases are badly ventilated
Rather I would said mid-2000s than early, Prescott's time was around 2004-2005. Term 'early 2000s' people associate with P3s or P4s for Socket 423 CPUs.
My first computer Compaq with the same chip and window xp. As it age, it became slower and thrown off a lot of heat.
yeah they got very hot, for what work they did. My mate gave me two P4s later on as get me out of jail. They ran windows 7, and by christ they struggled.
@@procta2343 i burned my hand on the exhaust from the ventilation from my Fujitsu Siemens before i changed thermal paste to something more modern
peace be upon you sir from java island indonesia
That was quite a dream machine of it's era.
Trying to remember if I've seen Advent PCs. It's got a beautiful ASRock board and it's loaded with features. Would love to have that PC. And the original CRT.
I think my encounter with them, was when asda ( shit hole) sold them for the back to school range, they only sold them that year, they were vista compatible machines, from what it was stated on the box at the time. Vista wasn't keen on a P4 from my experience.
I found the bracket on Aliexpress and it was more robust than the one that came with the asrock plate
Certainly lasted longer than the current range of 13xxx and 14xxx processors.
Sometimes I'm just scared to expose old PC stuff to the internet. Things like this, my 386sx hard drive from 1991, etc....
There's one antivirus still working for windows xp (youtube ghosts my replies)
@@2xtreem4u i am very surprised that its still been supported. which Antivirus is it?
drill a hole in the side of the plastic put a cable tie on it that is what i did mine completly broke
I hated the P4, for the heat. I built two, one as a daily, the other was for windows 2003 server, for my MCP lab. Both systems were a pain, no matter how many fans i installed. The server system made me laugh, all that did was just sit there, and serve two client PCs, and the CPU fan still went 100 mph. It wasn't even connected to the internet, all it ran was active directory, and a bunch of services, related to it. No input from me at all etc. The dual core systems were better for cooling wise.
so.. the answer is the heatsink bracket?
@@ExtremalMetal heatsink bracket is the main thing, it's also broken on the last p4 system I tried. (see previous video).
my first computer was a compaq presario with a 166mhz chip in it if I remember correctly.
Just buy a modern generic cpu cooler - I tend to use a particular one from Amazon that includes, amongst others, a bracket that works fine with these boards. No biggie.. I used to have this exact machine, bought brand new in PC World, at the time it was awesome for the money. I just wish I'd saved it, but alas, like so many other systems I used to own, it probably ended up at the tip years before I ever got into what we like to call 'retro' these days.
Let me know which cooler you recommend - Thanks
I would have cleaned it..
800 mhz FSB and 2 threads....by the rpms of that cooler i suspect this might be a Prescott Pentium 4,and they are actually rare on the socket 478. The Prescott was the last Pentium 4 made for socket 478,you don't see many of them if it really is one
@@Mirra2003-f9s yeah this is a Prescott p4, 115w TDP so hot and hungry for power. www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/pentium-4-ht-3-2e.c265#:~:text=It%20is%20part%20of%20the,effectively%20doubled%2C%20to%202%20threads.
Avast is the last antivirus for win xp
that asrock board has a bit of value- the backets are $5 on ali express - socket 478 are all the same
@@jonsmith5087 I've ordered some, but the brackets are different on the last p4 (s478) motherboard I looked at in the last video.
@@joshwa1234 when u put the replacement bracket in just install a stock cooler then - that one with the side wire clips is a bit unusual - maybe a proprietry design like HP or acer etc - but usually any std 478 cooler works with stock brackets
i think the back fan has been mounted by previous owner since its the wrong way.
@@waize good spot!
The previous owner could've done that to cool that hot netburst cpu, he probably thought that the power supply is an exhaust, a friend did this to his compaq P4 box back in the day, and it helped to keep the temps under control, but he made some kind of airgide to direct the hot air away from the back intake
Advent being Currys/PC World own brand for PC's
I think Asda sold them as part of the back school range too, one year.
Would have cleaned it first
Another excellent mug
It really is!
Sry'! Socket A(462) 1400MHz Thunderbird. DDR 266MHz and a GeForce3 Ti500 here.
^late '01 aka LAST time, i was some kind of FIRSTMOVER 😲
PS I'll still watch this though 🙂
a minute in and nothing about the tease of whats killing
@@markae0 sorry my videos are quite slow paced and then the important bit is put in the title
It has GeForce 256mb WOW
Oh, PISS OFF Green Team! You're getting WAY to BIG nowdays!
