In these cases, the user may reboot the system and rerun the XTU installer or application. When Windows Smart App Control feature is enabled, installing and/or running XTU may result in a notification or error from Windows. In certain undervolt protected system configurations XTU will be unable to set voltage controls to system default values. In these cases, XTU is unable to function when these features are enabled. In certain system configurations, Core Isolation Memory Integrity, Hyper-V, and Virtual Machine State are incompatible with XTU. Please proceed past the error to see properly applied tunings. In certain system memory configurations, XTU may incorrectly throw an error that tuning memory controls is skipped when they have successfully been applied. Fix for XTU not reading values from BIOS correctly when Undervolt Protection is enabled Fix for XTU not detecting properly when Windows Hypervisor Platform is enabled Fix for XTU compatibility issue with Smart App Control Windows OS feature Control to tune power and current limits added to Compact View

Ability to run benchmark added to Compact View 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. The XPG Xenia laptop listed in my sig is one of these (LAPQC71A), and I have it undervolted using this method.Intel XTU is a Windows-based performance-tuning software that enables novice and experienced enthusiasts to overclock, monitor, and stress a system. Intel did a similar thing when they included the ability to undervolt the Intel CPU (right from the UEFI setup) on their white-box laptop, also known as the Intel NUC 9 Extreme laptop kit (LAPQC71*). That tells you the system is not stable and you need to change the settings.Ī large voltage increase could cause permanent harm, but I doubt this program would permit that, since it is a utility written and distributed by Intel for use on their own products. Identifying and mitigating the instability is part of the process, and indeed the goal of stress testing is to get the system to crash or lock up, if it is possible. The worst you are likely to see with a program like this is instability, which is temporary (as soon as the settings go back to the stock settings, the instability will be gone also. You can make them persistent if you wish, but they can just as easily be backed out and things will return to the default settings. The changes one can make with the program are not permanent.
