Throttle Down CPU software

[Tech Geek Deluxe]

I am looking for a small decent freeware program that will throttle down my server.

I am running XP64 Bit ... EIST doesn't seem to work on it. [Maybe because I am overclocked ... I dono.]

Anyways ... I have magicjack phone service and will be leaving the server on 24/7 now.

I need to basically slow the server down to just a cool dribble of its full robustness ... what softwares would you recommend?

I tried two programs that came with the mobo ... the cartoon interface scared me and I did not like the program.

Suggestions please.

Just go into the bios and set the cpu to stock settings, then use the EIST.?

Yeah ... thats what I thought ... but then I loose the overclock.

Looks like we just lost some posts.

What you're stating you want, you've stated you have disabled.

If it's really a server, you don't overclock them. So don't. Servers are about stability. Do you have a great machine you just happen to think of as a server? Under 50 users a day? A server would be leaning on hard driver performance more than the CPU.

It is a server for my purposes ... others would consider it an extra machine ... it may grow up into what others might consider as a server ... but for me it serves as a redundant multipurpose system that does an increasing variety of tasks and alleviates my main PC of a fair share of tasks.

It is super stable at a 600MHZ overclock and has Raid 0 with redundancy backups on 3 external hard drives.

It must work when I work and serve 2 purposes without being a heater as the third. [In winter I liked it helping to keep my office warm.]

When I work ... it must perform as a top end PC ... even though it mostly displays charts and feeds and news and video streams and I don't malke trades on it but use the data to make trades.

When i don't work ... it is in semi-retirement doing monitoring tasks and running an Internet phone service. I have 6 websites that may be mirrored on it when I have the time or hire someone. Then it will probably have to run Raid 5 and stock settings and EIST.

If this is the case then look into an AthlonXP/64 type setup so you have much better performance for only a few dollars, less heat and no need to overclock or underclock the system.
