Using those pieces of information, open a command prompt as an admin and enter (your information for the location of the extreme tuning service may be different, I'm showing mine here as an example):Ĭ:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v9\InstallUtil.exe /u C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility\XtuService.exe The tuning service I removed was installed at:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility\XtuService.exe The installutil.exe file can be found at:Ĭ:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v9\InstallUtil.exe Two things yo need, the path to the installutil.exe executable and the location and name of the Intel tuning service executable you want removed. Net framework folder is not included in the path environment variable, you'll need to navigate to the folder that contains the executable manually. The utility has to be ran from a command prompt with administrative rights. You have to use the installutil.exe utility that ships with the Microsoft. But when I'm running MacOS, Intel Power Gadget reports that my CPU is still boosting up to 5.0gHz! I haven't touched anything regarding overclocking in the BIOS yet.Old thread but I came across this same service on my machine and am posting a solution for anyone else that stumbles across this thread searching for instructions as I have been unable to locate a straight answer on removing this Intel tuning service from windows 10. as far as I know, XTU doesn't/can't change any BIOS settings. Should I just completely uninstall XTU and then start the whole overclocking/testing process over in BIOS settings? For example, if I set XTU back to default and made the changes in BIOS, wouldn't XTU override anything I've set once windows starts up? So what's the best way to do it? I'm not sure there's a way to turn XTU "off" and just let the BIOS settings do their thing without XTU interfering. This all runs fine and good and maintains decent temps without overloading my MoBo VR, and I think I'd like to make these settings permanently in BIOS instead of XTU, especially since I triple-boot this machine in Windows, MacOS, and Linux, and I want these benefits in the other OSes, too. Set my processor core ratio to 50x and my cache ratio to 48x.

Here's what I've got running stably on my system, with temps maxing out at 82C:Ĭranked Turbo Boost Max and Short Power Max up to 255W. I've had some great success with my 9900k using Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility. I'm reasonably new to the whole overclocking thing. CPU: i9-9900k Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Mobo: MSI Z370-A Pro
