Intel Extreme Tuning Utility 7.14.2.14 - 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 per-core voltage and frequency monitors to CometLake and CoffeeLake
- Security improvements
- Bug fixes

Known Issues:

- In certain system configurations, Virtualization Based Security (VBS) and OS features that enable VBS are incompatible with XTU. In these cases, XTU is unable to function when these features are enabled.
- In certain undervolt protected system configurations, XTU will be unable to set voltage controls to system default values.
- Cancelling AI Assist characterization immediately may not properly restore performance per-core ratio active or display values. The recommendation is to allow AI Assist to complete the process without interruption.
- Cancelling AI Assist during characterization leaves XTU’s monitor polling period set to 100 ms, which won't be reflected in the UI. To work around, re-select your desired polling period (1000 ms is the default).
- Real Time Memory timing values display incorrectly through sleep events. Click the Refresh button to restore accurate display values.

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.”
