In June, Intel will debut the Performance Maximizer, a one-click software program instrument that can robotically overclock your high-end PC processor. Also resulting from return is Intel’s “insurance for overclockers,” the Performance Tuning Protection Plan.
Intel’s Performance Maximizer is designed for newcomers to overclocking, or for individuals who don’t wish to fiddle with manually tweaking voltages and reminiscence timings. The instrument, which can reside at Intel’s Performance Maximizer web page, will solely be out there for just a few processors: the Core i5-9600Ok, the Core i7-9700Ok, and the Core i9-9900Ok. (It can be out there for the graphics-less “F-series” variations of these chips as properly.)
Intel government defined how the Performance Maximizer will work. First, you’ll set up the software program. The instrument itself will take a while, although. Running it would reboot your PC right into a Linux digital machine, freed from the Windows overhead. The Maximizer would require a few hours to run, slowly tweaking the voltage and clock pace because it goes. The instrument will slowly scale the clock pace upwards till a thermal threshold is tripped; after that, the instrument will cease, reconfigure the Core chip’s clock pace, and boot into Windows.
Executives mentioned that the Performance Maximizer will merely regulate voltage and clock speeds. It gained’t tweak reminiscence timings or regulate GPU settings. Doing so would push into different instruments, like Intel’s XTU Extreme Tuning Utility instrument.
