Making My XP Machine More Efficient

- As summer approaches, I must face the consequences of my actions. My Windows XP machine simply draws too much power and makes my room into an oven. Can I fix it?

11:42 The repeat this time is not intentional but I was fighting Resolve to even get the video to render correctly and I didn't notice it until later and I don't feel like fixing it.
Also right before uploading the video HL2 locked the system up again. I guess I'll up the voltage again... Who knew HL2 was the most accurate way to stress test an overclock?
The e8600 you chose also supports speedstep.
I haven't looked into the xp support for that, but if it works, there's an obvious win.
I don’t have it currently enabled but I may turn it on in the future
Love it in the winter, despise it in the summer.
The high end PC experience
First time I found this is out is back when I used to run an overclocked FX-8320. That was a rough couple of summers.
I understand trying to lower power. For me it was not wearing out my favourite older parts. I also solved this by having 8 8800 GTXs, 4 8800GT and 3 8800 Ultra. Now it seems that I am wasting them by no using them.
are you the son of LGR?
perhaps
@@NTGTechnologyYour face was like LGR 😂😂
your new cpu listed tdp is the same as my entire rig running at full load (save for the gaming pc i hardly use since more and more games are supporting mac or working under gptk)
i miss this era but i do not miss the power consumption
i still have my macs from the era and im afraid to measure the power consumption on them especially my G5 quad with its 4 gpus, 2 2.7GHz cpus, and massive power supply that i had to buy a special cable in order to use
Welcome back, I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Cheers
Keep up the good work, this video was a joy to watch. Killawatt: [enters stage] *THUNK!* xD
Very informative video! I am currenty working on my Windows xp/ vista retro build as well and unfortunately, my 8800 GTX died on me halfway :( Currently have a 560 ti inside as a replacement, but a Fermi card in a late 2000s build just doesnt sit right with me. I might go the route of a GTS 250 as well, as a way of continuing the spirit of the Tesla G90/92.
Surprised this only has 240 views... Keep up the good work
Thanks for a truly interesting video, as another lover of older technology (albeit almost always with my own Gentoo Linux builds where I optimise as much as possible).
With that said, does it actually make any sense using a Core 2 Quad CPU with XP, given that I've been told that, at best, XP only ever makes use of two cores anyway?
It's not something I've ever tested but I've got a couple of older Dell Optiplex PCs that I have a hankering to stick XP on again for some retrogaming - albeit I tend to stick with AMD GPUs because NVIDIA's driver policies on Linux are just bad, and I can't be bothered with SLI so will just pick up the best used AMD GPU that XP can support.
Since most people are just using XP for retro gaming and using other old software, having more than two cores isn't going to make a real difference for that stuff. Unless you want to use older 3D modeling or video editing software or something like that, there really isn't a point in having more for XP.
With that said, XP is capable of using more than two cores. I can't really say how well the scheduler works on XP, but you can install even a 6 or 8 core CPU and XP will detect it and work just fine with them assuming the software you're using is capable of using that many threads.
Also still love this build
next step... water cooling??
I have thought about it…
Biggest roadblock would be finding GPU blocks that are in decent shape
Do VIA C3 Things
just get 1gb 750ti

i have a strict 300 watt psu limit rule for my pc, so everything including cpu,ram,drives, and gpu has to meet a 300w power requirement. and believe me...asking for parts advice is a hell in itself
You limit the PSU at 300w? You're playing on hardcore mode.
@@NTGTechnology you be surprise on what you can build with only 300watts
@@NTGTechnology home pc psu mode.... which reminds me my mom's am2 had a near 3ghz dual core amd in it and a 500w psu. It was an hp machine and I actually overclocked that cpu in my gaming rig by 250mhz.
(Albiet on a non overclock board, it just had an experimental bios)
I have loads of am2-am3 processors lol I should make a few rigs.
