The built-in benchmark tool can be used to compare CPU speed before and after overclocking, then check it against the scores of other overclockers online. Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility provides easy access to the basic overclocking “tuning knobs” that control CPU speed (such as the Processor Core Ratio and the Processor Cache ratio), allowing more hands-on overclocking. It works with unlocked Intel® CPUs designated with a “K”, dating back to 3rd Gen models, as well as enthusiast processors from the Intel® Core™ X-series processor family.

Designed to help users configure and test their overclocks, Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU) is CPU optimization software that provides a hub for benchmarks, stress tests, and system monitoring with live Trendline graphs.
