Intel XTU supports stress testing your overclock, but you should verify the available features. Aida64 offers more detailed analysis and advanced settings, while Intel XTU's built-in tab is functional for basic checks. Since you're not starting from XTU but from BIOS, using Aida64 would provide deeper insights. Check the documentation to confirm compatibility with your current specs (4.5GHz @ 1.2V, offset up to 1.219V).
From my observations, Intel XTU performs well in temperature testing since its load temperatures match real gaming levels. On the other hand, Aida64 stands out as the top stress tester.
Great, thanks! The temps stay high at 62°C when using these voltages, especially with the air cooler in place, which makes a big difference.
For stability, multiple tests are needed. It's currently XTU (previously IBT) with OCCT.
