Extreme Tuning Uility - XTU 4.0 and 3.2. What is the difference?

[RMoor7]

Clarification please.

What is the difference between XTU 4.0 and 3.2?

The release notes are without specific reference to the OS, motherboard or processor requirements.

Both are listed as Win 7* & Win 8* compatible on the XTU download center page however, if I select Windows 7 (x64) XTU 4.0 is not available.

I was using XTU 4.0 on my DZ77GA-70K with Win7 Pro (x64) system and it worked fine before my system crash.

I am working through the issues of getting the XTU service to start.

Thanks,

I have yet to uncover any detail info other that provided in the release notes.

I was finely able to uninstall XTU 3.2 after a number of failed attempts that produced uninstall errors which prevented the uninstall attempts from completing.

I re-installed XTU 4.0 without errors and it seems to perform as anticipated during the Stress Testing.

However, I have yet to perform any tuning.
