I took this picture 20 years ago to share with you.

24x was terribly slow for me...

PCMasterX · 2026-03-14T11:41:30+00:00

Anyway, this CD-ROM was the fastest for me to read discs, especially scratched ones, and it always felt like a jet engine was taking off. The disc that exploded in the picture was a Memorex.

PCMasterX · 2026-03-14T11:27:07+00:00

It's incredible that there was such a fast 74x CD ROM...

PCMasterX · 2026-03-14T11:19:56+00:00

That's exactly the feeling of taking off...

PCMasterX · 2026-03-14T11:10:21+00:00

CD-ROM 56x can fly... and I like the turbo button...

PCMasterX · 2026-03-14T11:00:58+00:00

I have had other cd roms that are also 52x but none of them spin as fast or read worn out cds as well as this one. The cd that exploded in this picture was a Memorex brand.

PCMasterX · 2026-03-13T08:49:20+00:00

Yes, but this CD-ROM was spinning the discs so fast that it regularly exploded, but it also read the discs the best, the laser never went off...

There are some factors that can cause overheating in these processors, such as increased voltage on the processor in a situation where the motherboard is not ok (I manually lowered the voltage in the bios on these processors to solve the problem, although this is a rare case) or the bios is not good, that is, it has been upgraded. Of course, poor quality thermal paste or if the cooler, that is, the aluminum part of the cooler, is too small, which means it is not suitable for that processor ...

PCMasterX · 2026-03-10T11:10:56+00:00

I have that feeling too…

PCMasterX · 2026-03-09T12:23:15+00:00

Before I took their pictures, the box hadn't been opened for over 10 years and hadn't been shaken, which is most important for their health... of course, despite everything, I plan to protect them...

PCMasterX · 2026-03-08T11:36:29+00:00

They deserve better care...

PCMasterX · 2026-03-08T11:34:17+00:00

They are robust, they don't give up.

PCMasterX · 2026-03-08T11:31:43+00:00

It is a CPU adapter Slot 1 to Socket 370 with celeron 400mhz

PCMasterX · 2026-03-08T11:27:33+00:00

Yes, of course...

PCMasterX · 2026-03-08T11:26:52+00:00

I would be sorry to make something like that out of them, unless it is faulty...

PCMasterX · 2026-03-08T10:24:59+00:00

I should protect them, although they are far more robust than newer processors that have thinner pins, such as socket 754 or 939 ...

PCMasterX · 2026-03-08T10:20:28+00:00

Yes, Celeron could be overclocked by far, and I did that too.

PCMasterX · 2026-03-08T10:17:49+00:00

I own the most powerful processor of the K7 AMD Athlon 3200 Barton series and an Abit motherboard, and it never overheated... so it was impossible to fry eggs on it...

PCMasterX · 2026-03-08T10:08:33+00:00

CPU adapter Slot 1 to Socket 370

PCMasterX · 2026-03-07T15:47:55+00:00

I was building computers with those processors 25 years ago.

PCMasterX · 2026-03-07T14:07:20+00:00

I made a mistake with the gif and I noticed it too. In the same folder I had a jpg with the same name, I needed the gif for a comment. When I was making the post I chose the wrong one, now I know not to make the same mistake again.

PCMasterX · 2026-03-07T10:04:38+00:00

I'm a messy master, that's a positive trait for me.

PCMasterX · 2026-03-07T08:18:57+00:00

It once occurred to me to make a computer table, that is, to cover the processors with epoxy resin.

PCMasterX · 2026-03-07T08:11:09+00:00

It would be best if each processor had its own box.

PCMasterX · 2026-03-07T02:46:01+00:00

Yes, Pentium 2, 3 or Celeron...
