Click on the “Benchmarks” tab, then click on “Run”. L et’s get straight into the basic steps to overclock using XTU as a first-timer.ĭownload and install Intel XTU from Intel’s site, close all background programs, and load her up.
But it’s worth a shot, especially if you want to avoid the added complexity of overclocking a CPU in the BIOS. Overclocking with Intel's XTU program is not without its downsides though, and on some hardware configurations XTU might not be able to draw on all the system information it needs to let you overclock successfully. It also has a handy integration with the HWBot overclocking community, which can make overclocking easier by importing other user’s successful settings which we’ll explain in a bit. XTU has a simple interface and can work quite well on some systems, making it a more beginner-friendly way of overclocking an Intel processor without having to go into the motherboard BIOS. You can also overclock Intel HD processors (integrated graphics) if you so wish. See our introduction to CPU overclocking for more basics and tips to know before overclocking. To overclock you'll be needing an Intel processor that has a “k” on the end of the model number (eg i5-9600K, i7-9700K, or i9-9900K), however it is actually possible to overclock non-k CPUs (though it’s harder, less effective and not recommended). For AMD processors, the equivalent to XTU is called Ryzen Master for anyone wondering. XTU is a fairly comprehensive set of tools, and you can overclock an Intel CPU with a few clicks of a button by adjusting its core clock speed, voltage, boost clock, and more. XTU also comes with built-in CPU and memory testing to check stability and CPU temperatures. XTU allows both complete hardware beginners and advanced enthusiasts alike to easily overclock, monitor and stress-test your Intel processor and overall system. If you want to overclock a Intel CPU without the BIOS, Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility ( XTU for short) is a simple, easy to use desktop application that's worth considering.
