You can use the integrated stress test to find out whether the system is still working properly with the new settings. This loads either the CPU or the RAM for a specified period of time and thus provides information on whether the system remains stable under load. A benchmark also shows whether the system is running faster than before after tuning. The results can be compared with other users online in the HWBOT community. However, the manual tuning functions of the software are particularly interesting, with which, for example, the clock of the processor or its boost ratio and voltage can be changed. The main memory can also be tuned, here you can change the CAS latency memory timing or the memory multiplier, among other things. If this requirement is met, the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility shows an overview with various system information after starting and reveals, for example, details about the CPU, memory, graphics card, or mainboard. The tool also displays real-time data on the current CPU temperature, load, or frequency.

For Intel processors onlyīefore installing the tuning tool, please note that it will only work on systems with an Intel processor. So if you have a CPU from AMD, you cannot use the program.

The Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel XTU) in the current version 7.5.3.3 allows owners of a system with an Intel CPU, processor, and RAM to overclock, to subject it to stress and benchmark test, or to monitor various system values. Different configurations can be saved in the form of profiles and called up quickly at a later point in time.
