Sweet I have one of those too, it seemed to struggle keeping my 2500K at 4.0GHz at temps I was happy with but it is a sexy cooler :)

I still have it, but I use it for cooling LEDs now :P

My very first computer was a MacMini G4, and the processor/graphics card was built by Apple.

CPU? An Intel Pentium E5700 (the first one I knew about since then I started getting into PC's and stuff)

GPU? Nvidia GT 430 with 512mb ddr3 vram... Actually, it can run the crew on 30-ish FPS! (on lowest tho) But I didn't move very far from it, as now I still use a GTX 560 Ti..

First CPU that I remember was in our families computer and it was an X4 645 we still have it the pavilion that it came in and that pavilion with the CPU is still going strong 

GPU by name is an R7 240 2gb that is in the pavilion and it has been going strong for 4 years

My first self-built computer contained an Intel Core2Duo E6320 with INCREDIBLE 4MB of L2 cache! I didn't know what that means because I was about 12 years old, but WOW that sounded so cool when I told my friends. It also had an ATI x1950xt and it performed well in Counter Strike 1.6 :) The funny thing is, about one month ago I sold this system for 50€. Windows 7 runs pretty good on it.

 

My second computer, and I had to look that up because I forgot (shame on me) had a AMD Phenom II X4 955, a pretty solid chip for that time (early 2011) I guess, at least for a low-budget computer because I didn't have any own money and had to beg my parents. At first there was my brothers old ATI HD3870 X2 in there, but it got WAY too hot, it probably was broken. I pretty soon switched to an nVidia GTS 450 which performed good in Counter Strike Source :D

 

Now, my third computer has got an AMD FX-8350 and it's time for an upgrade. I'm very looking forward to Ryzen :) I really hope AMD gets back into the game. At first there was a nVidia GTX750ti in  there, then my brothers old GTX690 (what a monster) and now a GTX1060. I will keep that 1060 in my next build, I think.

First CPU that I owned was a 6502 (in a Commodore PET, back in 1978)

 

68747470733a2f2f7261772e6769746875622e63


First "GPU" (graphics card with some acceleration) was probably some Tseng Labs, maybe the ET-4000. I'm not sure.

But the first computer I programmed on was a DEC PDP-11/70 at my high school back in 1977 or so.

Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it :P

 

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.

LOL I don't even know the specs to my first computer. It was one of those Dinos that had a VGA cable as a tail. Handled Warcraft III decently though. After that I got used to my secound computer which had a Pentium 4 processor and then an integrated graphics card + Windows Vista. Vista can kissta my a** goodbye.

Can't remember the first PC I used. It was a present for my elder brother. Had to borrow from time to time. I was a wee lad back then that only wanted to play games like :

 

Lose your Marbles (awesome game from windows 97)

Black Moon Chronicles (hot damn. this game was awesome as balls. Wismerhill, Gor Gor Bhey, The Black Moon Faction, Light Faction, etc)

Seven Kingdoms II : The Fryhtan Wars

Trespasser (the very first FPS game that I've played that featured dinosaurs as enemies. LOL.) 

Final Fantasy VII (believe it or not, in my country, people sold CDs with game bundles in them. I remember even having a Megaman X4 installer.)


But I do know that it was a Pentium 2 build.

 

First PC I ever built on 2010:

 

Intel Core i3 530 (2.93 Ghz)

Deep Cool Ice Blade Pro

Deepcool Rockman fan controller

6x Coolermaster 120mm Blue LED Fans

AsRock H55M

2x2gb DDR3 Kingston Valueram 1333

HEC Rapter II 500w

Sapphire HD 4670 (Upgraded to Sapphire HD 6790 as shown in the pics below)

Samsung ODD

320gb Seagate 5200 RPM

CoolerMaster USP 100 non-windowed version

For the love of God, I don't know why I placed my bumblebee there. I was young and stupid back then. Lol

Yeesh, I think it was a 1997 Compaq Pasario with a Pentium 1 as far as the CPU and no gpu to speak of at the time. Think I might have had something before that but it is a bit hazy.

First GPU though, good grief, idk, something that came with my athlon 64 lol.
