Intel Extreme Tuning Utility

Intel Extreme Tuning Utility addresses all Intel-based motherboards owners that know how and want to tinker with the settings of various clocks including the CPU (central processing unit), RAM (Random Access Memory) as well as other system-related frequencies.
With Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, you can also monitor the temperatures within your computer case, the voltages for the most important components and even the speed of each and every fan connected to the mainboard. One thing, though, before starting to work with such software, make sure you have what you need in order to consciously change the values.
This particular piece of software comes packing a professionally-looking interface that encases three distinct panels. The first one, in the left part of the GUI, consists of a static area holding the main menu: System Information, Manual Tuning, Stress Test and Profiles.
The main section includes the loading area for each and every menu item, while the bottom part displays the CPU Core Temperature, the CPU Utilization as well as the current Processor Frequency. Moreover, you can also view the graphs for this values and other statistics such as Active Core Count, Memory Utilization or Graphics Frequency.
By selecting the Manual Tuning option, you get a new screen with lots of values to customize. Unless you really know what you are doing, we advise you to stay away from this specific section as bad settings can lead to bad results and even hardware failure.
Once you have set new clocks in this area, you can go on and perform stability tests in order to find out whether those settings are trouble or not. Finally, you can proceed to the Profiles section and quickly manage all of your tuned frequencies for the processor, system memory of graphics card.
The bottom line is that Intel Extreme Tuning Utility can prove to be a very witty tool to take for a test run and easily figure out its potential as long as you posses the required knowledge and, why not, the nerve. If you are keen on squeezing as much power as possible from your PC, then Intel Extreme Tuning Utility can be one of your picks on that matter.
