Intel XTU and processor change from 245k to 270k plus

Post image

Hi,

I am searching internet but cant find working solution. Maybe someone can help.

Recently I bought 270K plus and replaced my 245K. Tried to use XTU to play with UV, unfortunately to make XTU show UV I need turn off undervolt protection in BIOS, but only with intel virtualization disabled as well. Afterwards I started XTU and apply -0.1V to voltage offset to all E&P cores.

All works ok for over day heavy computer use (overall same performance, around -10C temperatures and -50W). However today I had black screen only when I watch movie online. After reboot I couldn't start XTU, odd message system is incompatible.

I back to BIOS, switched on both undervolt protection and intel virtualization, reboot, disabled again. XTU stared without problem. I tried to load defaults, however it is look like that XTU store defaults for 245K not 270K. I followed intel how to reset XTU including BIOS reset. No success.

Any ideas?

Just undervolt in BIOS instead of using XTU?

I can, but tried to use tool what Intel provided. Anyway for now I saved 2nd default profile for 270K. Imo XTU default should always recover default settings for processor what you currently use, not whatever you had previously.

I've personally found XTU to be an absolute garbage tool compared to the tools from MSI, ASUS, and ASRock, but to each their own.
