Getting used to slower... or... "going green".

[wilds]

Green software I use:

- ThrottleStop (useful for notebooks with poor thermal management)
- Macs Fan Control for Windows and OS X for cool temps
- Apple script for OS X which automatically unmounts the HDD on login so only the SSD runs (silence!)
- NvidiaInspector for locking down clockspeeds for cooler operation for the dGPU

Going green from a hardcore rig is pretty tough, my i7 3770s motherboard needs replacing and i have been stuck using my spare x4 9150e rig.9150e is old sure but pretty much a 65w quad core was bad ass back in 2008.

Biochock 1 is about as modern a game as i can run as a gamer on here,nvidias 337.50 driver gave some new life to it but BF3/BF4 pretty much make me want to put a fist into my monitor lol. 19-61fps in BF4 with a average of around 35 is about it can deliver.

Guess i could understand the Ops quest to see how much you can gain out of little tdp wise, i like experimenting with downlocking to compare to older hardware or see how cool my rig could run with certain clocks enabled.

Since I just need a basic tertiary (or perhaps even quadiary (is that even a word? :hmm) PC running windows, preferably as cheap and portable as possible, I might just advance those plans a bit. Thank you.

This thing only costs 250DKK more then a windows licence after all. You don't get much hardware for 250DKK ($41 US). Maybe a Celeron/AM1 Athlon or a 4GB stick of RAM if you're lucky...

The word you are looking for us quaternary, not quadiary

Thanks. One of the little quirks of not having English as your native language is remembering the correct vocabulary.
