Unlocked Intel® Core™ processors let you overclock the CPU for even more gaming power and performance.1 2
Overclocking your unlocked Intel® Core™ processor, RAM, and motherboard is a way to custom tune your PC. You can adjust the power, voltage, core, memory settings, and other key system values for more performance. It helps speed up your components—and your gameplay. It can also help with processor-intensive tasks such as image rendering and transcoding.
Fine-tune and test your overclock from within Windows using Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU).
This guide will walk you through benchmarking and modifying settings to monitoring your system.
Overclocking is often thought of in the context of a CPU or GPU, but you can also overclock RAM to boost memory speeds and performance of your PC.
Learn how to automate your overclock with Intel® Performance Maximizer, the machine-assisted overclocking tool.
Automate your overclock with Intel® Performance Maximizer, the machine-assisted overclocking tool that dynamically and reliably tunes to your processor’s individual attributes.3
Get peace of mind with Intel® Performance Tuning Protection Plan (Intel® PTPP),4 which allows for a one-time return if your qualifying processor was damaged due to overclocking.
Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (Intel® XMP) helps you overclock RAM, including select Intel® technology-based DDR4 memory, unlocking performance that exceeds standard specifications.
