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:

- Replaced XTU drivers with the Intel Innovation Platform Framework (Intel IPF)
- Only supported processor family is Arrow Lake
- Added SA Fabric controls
- Added Dual Reference Clock controls
- Added support for Granular per-core ratios
- Added support for Maximum Voltage
- Added per-point Real Time Memory Timings controls
- Added Core Parking controls
- Security improvements
- Per-core ratio controls will no longer be automatically tuned based on values tuned in the active-core ratios
- "Default" voltage has been removed from Voltage Override controls. All Voltage Override controls will now reflect their true value, even at boot.
- OC TVB is now available on E-Cores, per-core

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.
- On startup core parking active values will show as Unparked. After one is set, its active value in XTU will reflect the last value it was set to in XTU. XTU will not reflect changes to core parking status made by other apps or processes. Cores’ current parked status can be checked using Windows Resource Monitor.
- High memory utilization has been observed on some systems when running XTU for extended periods, please make sure to have the latest graphics driver updates installed.
- Package and Core TDP monitors can be inaccurate under heavy throttling with higher polling periods. The workaround is to set a faster polling period.
- Tuning Turbo Boost Power Time Window can erroneously lower Turbo Boost Short Power Max. This is reflected in the UI and the workaround it to raise Turbo Boost Short Power Max after tuning Turbo Boost Power Time Window. 

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.”
