    No thanks! :)

    From my older post dated June 19, 2019.

    Need 16GB free space from your fixed storage, The download package near 1,6GB, Forced to use Windows 10, Other installed overclocking applications may interfere (most likely) with this tool, Some BIOS configurations may prevent the tool from achieving the maximum OC, Intel Watchdog Timer Driver must be Enabled, Long time to tune in the overclock and as usual Intel prefer put safe high voltage more as +1.5v (even for a moderate overclock).

    Yeah, A lot of downsides and almost no benefits with this new Intel OC tool. I will continue use ThrottleStop with the superior Prema firmware. Won't spend time on this. Will it be a success? Not for the enthusiasts who like fiddle with own hardware. And I'm not even sure this new tool will be a success to hook up the less interested aka the Average Joe.
