Damn, for X5650, 1.4V is too much for the cooling as it starts throttling and 1.39xxxV isn't enough for 4.18GHz. So I'll go with 4.16GHz at 1.38xxx volts for now as it ran prime95 for 6+ hours.

Pretty crappy X5650 sample. You should be able to do 4 gig at 1.3v without any problem at all.

God, and I think I have a couple of them somewhere.

Of course finding them, is another issue.

I'll try that later, I'm now running with that 4.16GHz

 

[Mr.Scott]

Yeah. I kinda meant that 1.4v was pretty high for just 4.1.
What cooler?

I was going to ask about your cooling, but this should be more than good. MrScott might be right, silicon lottery just wasn't in favor of that CPU.

You're Welcome! No worries.

I tried to put the the service pack 4 on there but it did not work

As you can see in his video he has two folders on there where as i just had one on the desktop .And nothing else when it rebooted .That was just one file which i extracted.
I had burned the full version of it all fine.I decided to delete the version of XP i had on there.I tried to replace it with the full version of XP SP4 ,but when i tried to put it on my PC it said *There Is No Disk in the Drive. Please Insert a Disk into Drive* I thought i would try the dvd i had got it on here earlier and lo and behold it worked. Why did the other disc give me that message?

 

[Mr.Scott]

Crappy reader.
Just so you know, there was no official SP4. Somebody made that out of SP3 and nlited all of the last updates.
Not knowing how it was built, I would avoid it and just use a legit SP3 iso.

Well, it does not work on my PC anyway. Where can I get these drivers? Snappy drivers failed to get them. I got the GTX ones myself. Will I be able to get them on with this?Windows Driver Disc - For systems running Windows XP, Vista, 7 & 8 - 32 & 64 Bit
Where can I get a Realtek Ethernet controller 32bit XP Dell will I be able to install it from the driver pack above? I got one for Windows7 64 no good for this one of course.

Hmm, possibly. Do you have that disc, or is it just for reference?

I specifically have not heard of that but it might have the drivers needed for your system.

Might also check this site:

VOGONS Vintage Driver Library

That is a link, thanks to @Trekkie4 , that has tons of nostalgic drivers for motherboards, CPU's, etc...

I have taken apart P3 550 ... and destroyed plastic clips holding the heatsink in the process .
Arctic thermal pads (1mm) on L2 cache and 2mm spongy furniture pads on the other side to help even out the pressure, some M3 screws and butterfly nuts:

Works great .

Nice job!
I run mine plasticless. Bolt on heatsink similarly to you using nylon hardware. Also run them on the chiller using the 'clamp' method. lol

That looks hella cool with bolts and wingnuts, gives it a little industrial look.

Thumb nuts would look even better . Like this:

Thanks for that Bob I will give it a try These are the four drivers I need.

What you need to do with offline systems like the one you're working on is download the full Snappy Driver set.

https://sdi-tool.org/download/

That link has a torrent file that you can use. It's about 26GB. When finished you will be able to copy it to a spare USB drive. As SDI is and runs portable, you will be able to run it in place.

Wait, It's a Dell system?

@Greenslade
What's the model and service tag number for that system? With that info I can point you straight to the drivers you need for that system.

INSPIRON 620 MT 42VP45J I have looked it up on the Dell site, this modal came with Windows 7.
This was the XP version I was after which worked with Easy2Boot.
Which is on here.

WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL SP3 X86 - INTEGRAL EDITION 2021.12.19​

I am downloading this one, I did not realize you needed a VPN to download it. I have never needed it before to download iso,s It is not as if it is pirated copy.I have just downloaded it on my Mac it took no time at all. And yet it has only just started downloading on my Windows PC it says 15 days left?

 

[lexluthermiester]

INSPIRON 620 MT 42VP45J

Ah! THIS is why you're having problems with XP drivers, there are none from Dell. Dell did not engineer this system with XP support. See for yourself;

Support for Inspiron 620 | Drivers & Downloads | Dell US

That's not to say XP drivers don't exist for that system's components, just that Dell never bothered with them.

Your best option is to do that full Snappy Driver Install download. If that doesn't work, you'll be limited to Windows 7 and above.

In future, if you want a rockin XP machine, get a Dell T3500 and an X5675 CPU. Paired with good GPU and 3x1GB of RAM(because X58 is triple channel and XP is 32bit), XP will run like a dream!

32 bit XP may be limited to addressing 3.5GB of RAM. The 4GB limit was OK back when GPUs had 512Mb of RAM. But with newer GPUs having 2 GB and more there is an advantage to stepping up to 6GB of RAM or more if needed. The GPU takes memory addresses from the top down for texture caching. It can use the extra RAM. Anandtech had an article on this back in the day. The OS may have a RAM limit, but the computer, and the GPU don't share it.

Yeah you might just need to reside yourself to modern Windows on that system.

No, I already have a good Windows10 PC HPZ230 with an E3-1246 v3
and a gtx1060.I only got the Dell for XP. Everything is Working on the integral
version. There is one thing though, Nvidia High Definition Audio Driver has an X on it? So what does the Nivida driver do? As I have sound anyway. Is the integral version of XP just an updated version of XP, does it work the same as the original version?.
