NVIDIA released their System Utility yesterday, this leaded to me doing some research about Intel his Desktop Control Center program. The features of Intel Desktop Control Center are very interesting. All overclocking and tuning options are configurable from a Windows environment, without rebooting. And yes I found a download link.
Enables you to perform stress tests and to conduct performance testing to measure the impact of system configuration changes.
Different configurable system tuning presets like "quiet operation" and "gaming mode".
Fine-tune memory timings, modify chipset parameters, and configure thermal set points
Fan speed control
Check system stability with the "burn-in" testing, with different tests, durations and intensity. Intel Desktop Control Center monitors temperature, fan speeds, and performance while simultaneously stressing the selected system components and busses
Start with a baseline measurement of system performance. Then fine-tune your adjustments and stress the system to ensure stability. Finally, generate a new baseline and compare to previous configurations to determine relative performance gains in areas of processor, storage, graphics, and memory.
Intel Desktop Control Center enables you to perform stress tests to verify system stability and to conduct performance testing to measure the impact of system configuration changes. The easy-to-read system gauges provide feedback so you can observe the effects of various system modifications in real-time.
This easy-to-use console dynamically displays temperatures, speed, and usage percentages, allowing you to verify system stability and check performance gains without rebooting into the BIOS.
And once you have tuned the system to your liking, the settings can be stored as presets so you can quicly shift gears between "quiet operation" and "gaming mode".
Unfortunately this program will only work on a few of Intel his Desktop motherboards that support the IDCC program like the D875PBZ and the D865PERL.
