Intel XTU application stress test doesn't work on 13600kf

Aryan-31 — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 09:44:36 GMT

The stress test runs for set time i.e 5 mins or 15mins without any load on cpu.
Cpu utilisation is 0%.

Hello, @Aryan-31

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities. I will gladly assist you here.

Please try the following steps and let me know how it went:

Test other memory modules: Faulty RAM can cause system instability and freezing. Test other memory modules to ensure that it isn't the RAM causing the issue.
Check for software updates: Ensure that both the Intel XTU software and the processor's drivers are up-to-date to ensure that the issue is not caused by a software bug or incompatibility. This is the latest Intel XTU version.
Disable overclocking: Overclocking can push the processor beyond its designed limits and cause instability. You may Disable any overclocking settings before running benchmark tests.
Reset BIOS settings: Try resetting the BIOS settings to default values, as incorrect settings can cause instability.
Run hardware diagnostics tools to test the processor's stability and check for any hardware issues Please run the following utilities and attach the reports to have more information about your system and processor's health:

Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool

Note: Please attach the complete Screenshot or click on "File", select the "View Results File" option, save and attach the report.

Intel® System Support Utility for Windows.

Note: Make sure to mark the box that says "everything" before pressing the Scan button. After that, click on "Next>" and select "Save" and then, attach the .txt file.

My system doesn't have any memory instability at current bios setup tested for 6 hrs thrice in 3days running memtest86.

However I have doubts about the silicon quality of the 13600kf or may be the motherboard VRM isn't that stable

Hello, @Aryan-31

Thank you for the reports provided.

Just to confirm, except for trying other memory modules, did you follow the other steps provided? They are part of troubleshooting this issue.

I noticed that your BIOS is outdated, update your BIOS version to the latest available (1402).

Also, the processor supports up to 3200 MHz max. for DDR4 and your current memory speed is 3733 MHz, so disable Intel XMP and set it up within the processor specifications.

Note: altering clock frequency or voltage may damage or reduce the useful life of the processor and other system components and may reduce system stability and performance. If the processor is used outside of its specifications, the manufacturer's warranty may be voided. What is XMP?

If the issue persists, please provide an updated/new Intel SSU report so we can investigate further.

Best regards,

Jocelyn M.

The issue persists.
I just updated the Bios to latest version. It wiped out all bios settings to default as usual.

Still Intel XTU doesn't actually stress the CPU

New SSU report attached

Hello, @Aryan-31

Thank you for your time. We will need more information for our investigation and try out some more steps:

Just to confirm, have you tried a full XTU uninstallation?
Have you tried reinstalling the OS?
Is this issue happening after certain changes or since the beginning?

If after the XTU and OS reinstall, the issue persists, please provide XTU log files.

To provide the XTU log files, please follow these steps:

Navigate to the following directory: C:\ProgramData\Intel\Intel Extreme Tuning Utility\Logs
Please note that the ProgramData folder might be hidden. If so, make sure to enable the option to view hidden files and folders in your File Explorer settings.
Within the Logs folder, locate and provide all logs.

Yes my OS win 11 is clean installed 1 month ago. XTU also clean installed.
Its not possible for me to reinstall OS now again, just to prove a small application bug.

Other users in the past have similar issues logged here in community. There its a intel issue

We understand that you don't want to reinstall the OS, but did you try reinstalling the XTU as mentioned in the previous post?Is this issue happening after certain changes or since the beginning?

Please provide full information so we can proceed properly and investigate the issue correctly.

I did a thorough un-installation this time and then reinstall Xtu to stress test. Still no cpu utilisation.

about 4 months ago XTU used to work. But that was on different Os version. Current OS has been clean installed recently. On this OS installation it never worked before

Hello, @Aryan-31

Thank you for your time and patience.

Can please try the new XTU 7.13.1.5 and see if the issue remains?

If it does, can we get the GUI, XtuCore, and Monitor Logs? Not sure why the .rar log is not showing up right (looks encrypted).

Hello, @Aryan-31

Thank you for your reply and information provided. I hope you are doing better.

Please make sure you properly uninstall the XTU first, and then try the new XTU version. To uninstall it, please follow these instructions:

How to Uninstall the Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU)

Just to confirm, are those the the GUI, XtuCore, and Monitor Logs we requested previously? If not, please provide them so in case the issue persists, not sure why the .rar log is not showing up right (looks encrypted).

In the screenshot, observe there is a log file, generated by setup.exe. I copied the logs from that file.

Further provide steps for finding/generating
