Xtu won't let me undervolt. It has undervolt protection on. When I turn it off in the bios the xtu won't load as undervolt protection is disabled... Can't find a way around this. Mobo is nzxt Z690. Thanks.

SUP3RMASS1VE, Thank you for posting in the Intel® Communities Support.

 

For this scenario, it is important to mention that 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. Product warranties may not apply if the processor is operated beyond its specifications. 

 

Did you try to reinstall the latest Intel® XTU version 7.10.0.65, If not please follow the instructions in the links below to do so:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/17881/intel-extreme-tuning-utility-intel-xtu.html?wapkw=xtu 

 

Here you have "Common Issues and Resolutions for Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility" with additional suggestions on this topic:

If the problem remains after that, please attach the SSU report so we can verify further details about the components in your platform, check all the options in the report including the one that says "3rd party software logs":

We also recommend to get in contact directly with NZXT Support to make sure the latest BIOS version is currently installed in your device:

Any questions, please let me know.
