Hi has anybody had problems with the latest version of XTU I score 1000 points lower than previous version, cpu usage during the benchmark drops as low as 20% after removing XTU with Revo uninstaller I reinstalled latest version with no change, rolled back to previous version and all is well again.

Hi @joe_joe, thanks for the feedback. Let me check when I get in office later today. Is there anything special you noticed about the install and benchmark other than the things you mentioned here? What was the previous installation's version number?

 

There were a couple of intermediate releases of XTU. If you're up for it, I'd love some feedback on the scoring in these versions:

• 6.2.0.10: https://hwbotdownloads.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/benchmarks/Intel%20XTU/XTU-Setup_6.2.0.10.exe
  
• 6.2.0.14: https://hwbotdownloads.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/benchmarks/Intel%20XTU/XTU-Setup_6.2.0.14.exe
  
• 6.1.2.11: https://hwbotdownloads.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/benchmarks/Intel%20XTU/XTU-Setup_6.1.2.11.exe
  

Thanks for help, I didn't notice anything unusual about the install, one thing I do remember was when I was notified about a new version within XTU the program failed to upgrade sorry can't remember the error details, So I removed XTU and installed from scratch, the older version I returned to is 6.128 which works just fine. I have downloaded the 3 other versions you posted and will report back in due time.

Thanks again

joe

I have tried all 3 of the versions you posted

Results:

XTU 6.1.2.11 benchmark scores 1109, runs really well completes pretty quick

XTU 6.2.0.10 benchmark scores 1026, runs very poorly slugish takes 4 times longer to complete, core voltage very erratic core count erratic too

XTU 6.2.0.14 benchmark scores 1021, same problem as ver 6.2.0.10

 

I've loaded ver 6.1.2.11 and that's very good so I will be sticking with that, hope this helps, if you need anymore info on my setup, overclock settings in bios just ask

Regards

joe

Are Core Voltage and Core Count erratic in 6.2.0.17 as well? How is the performance at stock settings?

Yes tried 6.2.0.17 at stock settings cpu utilization spends most of the time 13% - 54% and core count 1 -2 most of the benchmark, performance is very poor.

I'm going to stay on 6.1.2.11 as this works very well with my setup atleast

Regards

joe

Thanks for the feedback Joe, we're looking in to this behavior

Hey @Joe-joe

 

Just wanted to quickly let you know the issue has been identified and a fix is on the way. Thanks for reporting!

That's good news

thanks again

joe

I can confirm this issue too. 6.1.2.11 works well but I did notice that 6.2.0.17 did finally start reporting "Active Core Count" correctly. When using the last several versions of XTU--going back many months--XTU would only report 2 active cores when I would bench or stress my 6700K (with HT on). Turning HT off would get XTU to report 4...

Just FYI, there is a new version out v6.2.0.19 which addresses the benchmark issues

Latest on Intels website still 6.2.0.17

Thanks

joe

I found 6.2.019 on the forum tested working ok

Thanks

Joe

Hello joe_joe and Massman

I am having a strange issue on my G3258 with XTU. It reports 0GHz and the utilization never goes over 12%. The benchmark also never finishes

Here is the install environment:

XTU Version: 6.4.1.15

OC: none, installing XTU with stock settings in bios

OS: Win 7 Pro 64bit

Mobo: ASRock Z87 OCF ac

Internet: No connection.

 

Is there any solution to this issue? I have submitted a G3258 score before, but never had this issue before. I have a LN2 pot now, so I was hoping to get some cold subs in. Lol

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

Have you also tried win 8.1 32bit? It tends to score the best. For win 7 I think there's a specific windows update you have to install, I forget which one.

Thanks yos for the tip about Win 8.1!!! I have the right update for Win 7 and have it installed. It has worked before on Win 7 with my G3258. I lost the older version of XTU i was using though. I'm having trouble finding a win 8.1 iso, that is why I chose to bench XTU on win 7. Would you know where I could get a good win 8.1 iso?

I don't have a stripped down iso, but you can get it straight from microsoft with this tool http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=510815

That is a really cool tool. Is this a good way to get all version of windows from 8 to 10? I owe you big time yos. If there is anything I could do for you, you just let me know.
