![]() Other users’ settings can be imported and applied from the “Profiles” tab.Ī built-in CPU stress test lets users check stability and system temperatures with their overclock settings. The built-in benchmark tool can be used to compare CPU speed before and after overclocking, then check it against the scores of other overclockers online. Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility provides easy access to the basic overclocking “tuning knobs” that control CPU speed (such as the Processor Core Ratio and the Processor Cache ratio), allowing more hands-on overclocking. It works with unlocked Intel® CPUs designated with a “K”, dating back to 3rd Gen models, as well as enthusiast processors from the Intel® Core™ X-series processor family. The XPG Xenia laptop listed in my sig is one of these (LAPQC71A), and I have it undervolted using this method.Designed to help users configure and test their overclocks, Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU) is CPU optimization software that provides a hub for benchmarks, stress tests, and system monitoring with live Trendline graphs. Intel did a similar thing when they included the ability to undervolt the Intel CPU (right from the UEFI setup) on their white-box laptop, also known as the Intel NUC 9 Extreme laptop kit (LAPQC71*). ![]() That tells you the system is not stable and you need to change the settings.Ī large voltage increase could cause permanent harm, but I doubt this program would permit that, since it is a utility written and distributed by Intel for use on their own products. Identifying and mitigating the instability is part of the process, and indeed the goal of stress testing is to get the system to crash or lock up, if it is possible. The worst you are likely to see with a program like this is instability, which is temporary (as soon as the settings go back to the stock settings, the instability will be gone also. ![]() You can make them persistent if you wish, but they can just as easily be backed out and things will return to the default settings. The changes one can make with the program are not permanent. ![]()
