    So did anyone notice the Intel Extreme Tuning tool that came out?

    I put it on my W520, and it gave me a range of about 1MHz on the slider LOL. It seemed to register the change though, which makes me wonder if it's usable for overclocking the i7-2920XM.

    Anyone else want to give it a try?

    Im on the T520 with a i7-2720qm. Couldn't really adjust anything...

    Looking on older posts, it seems like most people recommend the 2.1 version of XTU but it seems to crash when i try starting it.
