Unfortunately, none of those work either After a few hours of installing > rebooting > testing > uninstalling > CC cleaner > reinstalling, here are my results (XTU version #'s right column):Īs you can see on bottom of the image, with the versions that it does load, the voltage meter is all messed up, showing increments in Volts instead of minivolts, also moving the voltage or multiplier sliders do nothing. Thanks for sending over the Softpedia list, I missed trying out some of the newer versions. I went back and re-verified the BIOS settings, they are indeed correct. I also noticed the latest version of XTU is now at version 6.5.2.40. NOTE: Not all versions of XTU I tried worked successfully, but hopefully one of the versions in the above link will work on your W10 system. After installing XTU, make sure you check the settings box, e.g.Īfter installing XTU, check the System Information screen (Processor), e.g. I am still using XTU version 5.2.0.14 and it is completely stable on my W7Pro Z620. I used CCleaner to clean the registry on my machine when testing various versions. Based on my own experience, it is important that you remove all traces of any previous XTU version, before installing a different version. You might want to browse to this site (My original post Dropbox link - to various versions of XTU - appears to be no longer valid). NOTE: If you need to change multiple BIOS settings then you may need to re-boot a few times until all the settings are accepted. NOTE: If AMT is disabled you will not see the Watchdog Timer settings.ģ) Enable Turbo Mode and ensure the Legacy ACPI CPU Tables are enabled. I'd really appreciate, the insight, thanks in advance.Īlso, here's a screenshot of the bluescreen and all the XTU versions I've tried:Ĭan you first please re-confirm that your BIOS settings are set as follows ġ) Ensure PCIe Performance Mode is disabled.Ģ) Ensure that AMT is enabled and also the Watchdog Timer, the BIOS and OS Watchdog Timer settings are set to 5 and 5. I noticed OP's original post mention's he's on Win 7 for an OS, and this was back in 18', hopefully its not an OS compatibility issue.Īny suggestions, anyone able to overclock their Z420 while on Win 10?

Mention success with overclocking a Z420 with XTU, however I'm having no luck with Windows 10. I know some of the guys over at this thread:

With some versions, moving the multiplier sliders doesn't do anything at all, in other versions moving the slider and hitting apply yields a bluescreen with "iocbios2.sys" marked as the culprit (yes I know its the XTU driver but that doesn't help me). However, no matter which version of XTU I try, I can't get it to work. System has 64 GB of Hynix DDR3 1866MHZ Unbuffered RAM, & a GTX 1070, so its no slouch. The CPU I am trying to overclock is the Intel E5-1650 V2, on a Z420 running Windows, all latest patches. Can someone please let me know the version of Intel XTU they are using on an HP Z420 to overlclock their CPU?
