Intel ETU randomly sets P-Core 1 and P-Core 4 from 52x to 8x

SteveTob · ‎08-16-2023

Like it says in the title, I will boot up my PC (which has a i7-10700k) and it is extremely slow. It took me forever to figure out why... I nearly wasted money upgrading RAM I didn't need.

Intel Extreme Tuning utility randomly sets P-Core 1 and P-Core 4 values from 52x to 8x. Just now it set P-Core 1 to 8x when I booted up.

Is there any way to fix this or to force the app to stick to the values saved in the profile I've been using? It makes my comp so incredibly slow that even opening the XTU app to fix it takes 2 minutes. Thanks.

Hey Jocelyn,

Thanks for looking into this. I provided a screenshot below. The P-Core boxes at the bottom are the ones which randomly change to 8x. It continued happening recently where 3 of them were set to 8x. My workaround has been to keybind my main and default profiles for now. I attached my system info.

Thanks,

Steve

Hello, @SteveTob

Thank you for the information provided.

I noticed in your report that you have the default BIOS version F2 and the latest version is F23. Please update your BIOS version to the latest version.

Also, try uninstalling the Intel® XTU and reinstall the latest version. Please let me know if the issue persists.
