Default (Intel specification) vs boot time (what BIOS told it to do) vs proposed (a setting changed in XTU, but isn't live yet) vs current (if you ran something, these settings are what the hardware should follow). Just so I would be very clear about what was happening. I can't remember the default 2 columns it shows until you change a setting, but I made mine show all 4 possible. I'm still on 6.5.2.40 which I'm unhappy was harder to find that it should be (Intel didn't have a copy to download anymore).Ībove that Apply, and it's partner Discard, button XTU can show 4 different sets of values (and a percentage change column too, where you pick which 2 columns.I chose default vs current to see my change versus Intel specs). It's so old I can't use the latest XTU version! 7.x. I have a pretty old computer though (i7-4790k + z97 chipset), so maybe that isn't a common experience. That increasing my turbo ratio didn't allow my CPU to run faster. I've had it where BIOS settings seemed to prevent XTU from working properly. I double check my settings are working by running the built in stress test (or prime95) and seeing the graphs change at the bottom. You need to click the Apply button on the settings page in the upper right quadrant.

It's not changing anything on the computer.
