While trying to install Intel Extreme Tuningy Utility v6.5.1.360 I get the following error:

I'm running Win 8.1 Pro

What is your processor model number?

Doc

MHerm7 · ‎04-03-2020

Thanks for the swift reply

It's an i7 4710HQ

XTU is not supported on your "H" processor. Only X and K processors are supported by XTU.

Thanks doc,

I'm aware of this, though it fails to install of different reasons (as it seems).

Although not officially supported, I would like to know how often my cpu runs into thermal throttling. Best case I can undervolt my CPU a bit, until I repair the thermal connection between CPU and heatsink.

Has anybody experienced such issues (installing) before?

Thanks a lot

Markus

In addition to the fact that your processor is not supported for XTU (and this fact is correct), you are also running an unsupported operating system. Windows 8.1 is not supported, only Windows 10 is valid:

You're right. I found a compatible version online. Sadly I haven't found the older version at Intel Downloads, which supported Win 8.1.

But here it is:

As you can see, it is Version 4.4.0.4:

I think I can stress, that although the tool is not supported, and may work unreliably, it helped me a lot detecting the issues I had with my system.

Just using the benchmark tool, I was able to see the temperature rising very fast, and beeing able to detect thermal throttling.

By manually increasing the fan speeds, I could observe that the throttling still occured, but leaving me with higher performace. I conclude that there is a cooling issue, and no mechanical defect in the system.

As a side note, increasing fan speed and decreasing core voltage, my system was still running stable with the embedded stress test, and didn't bluescreen any more.

This way I am able to use the system, until I can rework the thermal grease on the CPU.

I hope this helps anybody with similar issues.

This is the system resonse before the rework:

You can observe heavy throttling. Fan Speed is constantly on 100% all the way through, even before starting the test.

I will post the behavior after I've done the rework.

Thanks at Intel for providing such a helpful tool! 🎉

As promised, here is the result after re-applying the thermal ~~grease~~ paste:

https://ibb.co/xHLYCMT

It's a huge difference, and all the cpu thermal throttling is nearly gone. Except a small bump, until the fan kicks in.

Now the cpu is running with it's designed power limit again.

Thanks a lot guys for trying to help @Al.Hill and @Gh0stb1t

The tool is a great help!
