Known Issues:

- In certain system memory configurations, XTU may incorrectly throw an error that tuning memory controls is skipped when they have successfully been applied. Please proceed past the error to see properly applied tunings.
- In certain system configurations, Core Isolation Memory Integrity, Hyper-V, Microsoft Defender Application Guard, Virtual Machine State, and Virtualization Based Security are incompatible with XTU. In these cases, XTU is unable to function when these features are enabled.

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.”
