The 2009 Dell PC That Beats Microsoft’s & Riot Games Barriers • T3500 Windows Valorant LOL TPM 2.0

This a how To upgrade a Dell Precision T3500 workstation office PC from 2009 and how to make it run modern games in 2025. It showcasing the longevity of Intel Xeon CPU architecture and the X58 platform. It exposes the challenges of working with legacy hardware, including hardware and software compatibility issues, as well as the artificial obsolescence driven by Microsoft’s Windows 11's TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot mandates. Finally explores broader themes such as technological sustainability, the environmental impact of the constant upgrade cycle, and the power dynamics between software companies and consumers.

"The internal USB port is often used to run the OS off a flashdrive when used as a server, so all of the SATA ports can be used for storage instead of "wasting" one for a dedicated SATA drive for the operating system"

This would explain the boot function from the internal USB in the BIOS. That would instantly for example turn this Dell into a Batocera retro gaming machine. Awesome!

Another one that I omit to mention "my bad". The CPU lucks AVX instructions which means few games and apps will not boot without the help of emulator. *Forza Horizon series, Alan Wake 2, Ghost of Tsusima, Spider-man 2... Adobe Suite?

Here are some additional highlights and tips about the Dell Precision T3500. It appears there are two holes near the CPU socket for installing a VRM heatsink. Perhaps this, along with an active CPU cooling system, would allow for an upgrade to a higher TDP processor.

Here it is the Dell Precision T3500 service manual in case anyone is interested about. https://dl.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_dell_precision_workstation/precision-t3500_service%20manual_en-us.pdf
