Intel Core i9-12950HX CPU Extreme Tuning Utility 10.0.1.18 - Description

Intel XTU is a Windows-based performance-tuning software that enables novice and experienced enthusiasts to overclock, monitor, and stress a system. The software interface exposes a set of robust capabilities common in most enthusiast platforms along with new features available on new Intel application processors and Intel motherboards.

Changes:

- Added TCC Offset Control
- Core parking control values are now accurate when the application starts even without user changes

Known Issues:

- When setting Granular Ratios, after reboot ratios can get rounded up. To work around this, XTU will attempt to round ratios down to the next lowest integer on shutdown. If this fails the workaround is to perform a cold reboot of the system. On boot XTU’s persistence feature may not always restore rounded-down ratios
- Some IPF providers, when installed along with XTU, can cause XTU to crash. IPF SOC Thermal provider, PMT provider, and IGCL provider are known to cause this to happen.
- The IGCL Provider is required for Graphics Frequency monitoring.
- Graphics Voltage monitoring is unavailable.
- System Agent Voltage monitor is unavailable.
- XTU service stability is not guaranteed during an IPF upgrade. If issues are seen, restart the service or perform a system reboot to address the issue.
- Package and Core TDP monitors can be inaccurate under heavy throttling with higher polling periods. The workaround is to set a faster polling period. 

About Tuning Utility:

Install this tuning utility and you will be able to manually configure various overclocking values, such as CPU and memory frequencies, system clocks, fan speeds, and monitor temperature for different components.

However, please note that you're supposed to tweak these settings only between supported ranges; changing configurations to extreme values without additional cooling systems might seriously damage components.

The installation steps needed for the software to be applied are very easy: get the downloadable package, extract it if necessary, run the available setup, and carefully follow all displayed instructions for a complete and successful installation.

In addition to that, please note that it's recommended you perform a system reboot so that all changes can take effect properly. Bear in mind that, even though other OSes might be compatible, we don't suggest against installing this release on platforms other than the highlighted ones.

That being said, click the download button, get the package and set up this feature on your system. For more on the latest releases, keep checking back with our website to “stay updated one minute ago.”
