The BIGGEST patience test that you will ever be able to take in your life!

[Pardeep01]

So yesterday I assembled my super super SUPER old PC which was just lying around for years that had a Pentium D clocked at 2.6 and cooled by the stock heatsink and fan provided, 2GB of I think DDR2 single-channel memory and no expansion cards. I don't remember model of the mobo  and the PSU but the mobo was an Intel one and the PSU was 400W. The OS was living in an 80GB WD drive. So here's the main deal, I ran Cinebench just to test the CPU and my GOD! The score was 19 cb! It was straight up torture! Have you guys done benchmarks worse than this or that are equivalent?

On a core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz Which had score of 50 CB and i waited around 7 minutes or so?

I installed Windows 10 on a pentium 4 and 1gb of DDR ram with 80gb ide harddrive. 

 

And I used an iPhone 4 on iOS 7.1.2 for.. 2013-2015. 

 

The longest thing was waiting for a test.. I had an hour of spare time and I could do nothing. 

 

Also the 8 hour long school exercise day.

I bought a laptop in 2009 specifically to use to play runescape and maplestory and the AMD processor in it would thermal throttle during both of the games. I almost couldn't contain my teenage rage hormones for the few days it took my parents to drive me back to walmart to return it. I think i turned purple

Up until last year I still had a Galaxy S1. Had it rooted and overclocked and everything but it was still slow lol. Can't complain about free stuff though  

[Tech_Dreamer]

i had a sempron which clocked a .72 points CPU on cinebench 11.5 OPEN GL was 25.14 ,

 

1C/1T @2.72 ghz AMD Sempron 140 processor

@FilipSebik @themctipers @mcfly @brune67 @Tech_Dreamer Seems like we all have suffered quite a lot. And I'm sure there are a lot more out there.

Maybe going to a school for 1 hour and it was fifth hour? So waiting for 11:35 to be in school to 12:25 is painful and you cannot even get an excuse from a parent

Or waiting 7 hours for a nurse to tell you that you have something stuck in your teeth. I was dying from pain and wanted my dad to punch the tooth out

Here is the performance of a modern day APU or I should say cpu, that's crappy processing unit.

I use stop watch app on my phone, took 22 minutes and 04 seconds to complete.

8 hours of literal hell. 

 

Its hot as hell

A CPU performing that bad that was released in 2013 (it is kinda old but not that much) is really a bad idea from AMD. I kinda wanna know what they were thinking. Even for normal use a CPU shouldn't perform this slow.

I'd love to run Cinebench on a Samsung NC10 netbook. I had one of those years ago: single core Intel Atom N270 and GMA 950, pretty much a nightmare to go through.

Interesting actually. I really wanna know how the Pentium D would compare with an Atom. I think the Pentium would win but I still wanna know.

I still have my broken intel atom netbook. Not worth the fix just to run cb on it.

The biggest patience test I've ever done was dealing with my dad.

I usually do those kinds of long stress tests overnight

CB R15 isn't a long stress test. Older or slower CPUs will take some time to finish. Grabbing a bite to eat or do something else and that test should be complete.

[vanished]

I mean... you didn't have to sit there and watch the whole thing...

It's funny, that's like the only benchmark I haven't used in my tweaking time. Since I haven't overclocked a CPU yet I haven't needed a way to gauge its performance.

I still own one of these. Rooted and OC'd it as well. Surprised its lasted so long.

My biggest paitence test was on an old packard bell system and trying to install their own version of windows 95 and just watching all the lines of code in MS-Dos with no how long is left part lol

Yeah but I really didn't have anything else good to do. And I called this a really big patience test if you actually just sit there and watch it render shit.

Please don't get mad at the bad news: the score is wrong

Even a single core Pentium 4 scores higher

Your score should be around 55-60 ballpark

You didn't say anything that I should be mad about. This isn't my daily driver and I just built it to test. But the thing is the system had been lying around for, I think more than 5 years or a tiny bit less covered in dust. And before this test, it was alive not anywhere after 2010. So maybe it's just gotten a lot weaker? And it took more than 40 minutes to complete the rendering.

Sorry. I reposted accidentally.

A computer doesn't get weaker by seating though

Maybe the thermal paste dried up and it overheats (or just too much dust) or there's software running while benching.

When benching (Especially old systems) close antivirus, any monitoring software (CPU-z, AIDA64, etc... open them AFTER benching), kill explorer process and any system unrelated process (for example program maintenance services, steam on background, unnecessary helpers (some realtek drivers come with some)

 

But first fire up a stress test in AIDA64 or even Prime95 to see if there's any heat problems

I actually did have AIDA64 running but again, I didn't replace the CPU, it was newly built but old system on which I installed a new fresh OS. So no other software interfering. But I've never seen anyone do a CPU test after terminating explorer. Explorer consumes far less CPU power to the point that it doesn't even matter.
