**Intel's Performance Maximizer: A Revolutionary Tool for Overclocking**
Intel has recently released a software tool called Performance Maximizer, which allows users to overclock their 9th generation K-series CPUs without having to manually adjust settings. This tool is a significant departure from traditional overclocking methods, which require users to manually tweak settings in the operating system.
**How Does it Work?**
The Performance Maximizer works by creating a separate 16 GB bootable partition on the hard drive, outside of the operating system. When run, the program reboots the machine into this UEFI partition and performs all the necessary overclocking adjustments automatically. This means that users can expect to see significant performance gains without having to spend hours tweaking settings.
**The Benefits**
One of the key benefits of using Performance Maximizer is that it allows for safe overclocking, even in systems with limited cooling capabilities. By running the program outside of the operating system, Intel has minimized the risk of damaging the CPU or system. Additionally, the software is completely free to download and use, making it an attractive option for users looking to improve their system's performance.
**Performance Gains**
In our testing, we saw significant performance gains using Performance Maximizer. The 9th generation K-series CPU in question reached speeds of 5 GHz all core, with some applications taking as little as 30 minutes to reach this speed. This is a significant improvement over the base clock speed of 3.6 GHz, and demonstrates the power of Intel's overclocking technology.
**Setting Up Performance Maximizer**
When using Performance Maximizer, it's recommended that users load set up defaults by disabling XMP or setting the default memory speed to 2666 MHz. This ensures that the software is able to optimize performance without interfering with other system settings. Additionally, users should be aware that some applications may behave strangely when running under Performance Maximizer, and should be cautious when using this tool.
**System Requirements**
Performance Maximizer is compatible with a range of systems, including those with 9th generation K-series CPUs, 90th generation motherboards, and Intel Core i5-9600K processors. Users can download the software for free from the Intel website and follow the instructions provided to set it up.
**Warranty Support**
One of the most significant benefits of using Performance Maximizer is that Intel will cover any damage caused by overclocking in the event of a system failure. This includes the CPU itself, making it an attractive option for users who want to try out new settings without worrying about potential risks.
**Conclusion**
Performance Maximizer is a game-changing tool for overclocking 9th generation K-series CPUs. By allowing users to easily and safely boost their system's performance, Intel has set a high standard for the industry. Whether you're looking to improve your gaming or video editing experience, Performance Maximizer is definitely worth checking out.
**Recommendations**
We recommend that users with 9th generation K-series CPUs download and run Performance Maximizer as soon as possible. With its ability to deliver significant performance gains without compromising system stability, this software is a must-have for anyone looking to push their CPU to its limits. Additionally, users should be aware that support for 8th generation CPUs may be added in the future, making it worth checking out even if you don't have a 9th generation processor.
**Author's Note**
The author of this article has had the opportunity to test Performance Maximizer firsthand and can attest to its effectiveness. As a seasoned overclocker, I'm always on the lookout for new tools that make my job easier and more efficient. Performance Maximizer is definitely one of those tools, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their system's performance.

The author of this article assumes no liability for any damages or issues resulting from the use of Performance Maximizer. As with any overclocking method, there are risks involved, and users should be aware of these before using the software.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis video is brought to you by as rock and the still legend Z 390 yes Z 390 I did a review on this board and it actually does overclock to 5 gigahertz all cores so you're basically ready for the 9900 KS it's coming out in q4 of 2019 or that is out as of q4 of 2019 now even though this is a cost down motherboard it still doesn't sacrifice networking or audio so you get the realtek ALC 1200 based audio codec even with optical s/pdif you get the 7.1 out gold plated connectors I also got an Intel gigabit NIC get the 10 gigabit interface for USB it's also got a ps2 port for people like me to still use a model in you've got the scene VI m2 interface all in all not too bad the m2 is also located above the GPU so your end up to is gonna have plenty of airflow as well so some pretty good design choices here given the constraints that asrock was working with in nice job as Rock alas poor Yorick I knew him Horatio no we're not we're not doing that again the Intel performance Maximizer its overclocking automatic tuning it's not the extreme tuning utility what the heck yes this is not the Intel of yesteryear this is an entirely new and different Intel yeah you could use the extreme you tuning utility before push some buttons you're taking your CPU into your own hands but the performance Maximizer on the other hand does it all for you and that's completely different that's also done in a safe environment outside of your operating system which actually pretty cool now you can download and use this right now if you have a z3 90 motherboard and a ninth generation K series overclockable CPU like to Munda hard K or the 9700 K at the 1997 hard case what we used for air testing it's actually pretty genius what Intel is doing here with this thing outside you know your operating system when you install it it creates a 16 gigabyte bootable partition on your hard drive when you run with the Windows program it basically reboots your machine into the UEFI partition and that bootable partition does all the performance tuning there that's outside your operating systems really inside windows it very slowly and conservatively wretches ratchets up the voltage and the clock speed until it meets the cooling limits your CPU cooling limits of your system now you can expect that most 99 hard K CPUs will hit 5 gigahertz all core and Intel in q4 of 2019 is gonna offer the Bend 9900 KS that they announced a Computex that will hit 5 gigahertz on all cores out of the box it's basically guaranteed now you might not realize this but the base clock of this CPU it's only 3.6 gigahertz and a single core boost is 5 gigahertz overclock now when yeah 4 5 gigahertz you know it helps a built-in boost I really call that overclock so going from 3 point 6 gigahertz to 5 gigahertz is pretty good now some hints about using the program first I'd recommend that you load set up defaults disabling XMP or setting the default memory the default over the supported memory speed on 9th Jan is 2666 2133 would also work but set it to 20 666 because the performance Maximizer for me was doing some funny stuff with the XMP profile loaded now it looks like our system here reached 5 gigahertz all cores after about 30 minutes of testing you can reboot into UEFI and then you can re-enable XMP after it's it's done its thing and if you know it took about a half an hour to run on our system could take up to an hour just depending now doing it outside the operating system means there is a minimal chance that a bad overclock is gonna corrupt your system or do something bad you should still backup your system before installing the software all the same just to be you know safe so this is an Intel 808 e6 k it's a anniversary thing 5 gigahertz all core no problem I've got it in a lovely fractal mesh if I get a fractal you know s 24 240 millimeter cooler I eat 700 K a you know 86 come on here I don't think intel has any excuse they have 15,000 software engineers alone which is more people than AMD has employees and really isn't that what the software is about responding to competition I mean automatic overclocking for eighth generation parts I think they could have done that maybe they are a bit worried about AMD and maybe this software was rushed out the door because of that worry so still if you have a ninth generation k-series CPU even an i-5 9600 K download and run this software it's free performance it feels like I'm Hawking a download more ram type application but it legit does work oh and if for some reason you fry your cpu intel will cover it for you a replacement cpu that is it's about $20 us under the performance tuning and protection plan which for me is totally worth it because 3.6 gigahertz base clock that's a little bit pokey and I mean technically it does have a default all core boost the 4.3 gigahertz that's a bit faster but I want my 5 gigahertz eight core all core performance that's what I want so you should download this and give it a try if you've got a ninth generation CPU and here's hoping that they'll add support for the eighth generation CPU especially 8700 K NATO 86 K I'm Windell this is level one I'm gonna go hang out in the level in forums welcome if you're new here you know you should probably give this video a bump if you liked it or you know if not you can give it the other kind of bump I don't know it's fine don't care mama care a little bit alright I'm Windell from signing out I'll see in the level 1 forumsthis video is brought to you by as rock and the still legend Z 390 yes Z 390 I
