Hello, I recently got a free Phenom II x6 1090 cpu and I thought about trying to build a portable gaming desktop/ HTPC with this chip. I do realize that it is not ideal, but it was free. The only mini itx motherboard I can find for a AM3 chip only supports 95W, and because of this I was going to lower the voltage of the cpu.
So my question is, should I lower the frequency or disable cores? I am not looking for ultra high settings, but low to medium settings in easy to run games. My gpu (that I also got for free) is a GTX 650.
Here is the mother board: https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-880G-ITX-WiFi-Motherboard-Motherboards/dp/B004LWEFH2
On a side note, I have an AMD II x4 640 cpu lying around that is already rated at 95W, would that be better?
