What is UXTU?

It's a tuning utility aimed to help you tune your device as you wish.
It's created by the developers of Ryzen Controller, Renoir Mobile Tuning, and Power Control Panel.
It's a little lightweight Ryzen Master/XTU alternative for x86 laptops and computers that allows fine control over your device's processor and GPU/s.
Works best on Zen-based CPUs/APUs or Intel CPUs that are 4th gen and newer.

Getting Started

New to the Universal x86 Tuning Utility? No worries! This quickstart guide covers everything needed to get started.

Launching UXTU

After successful installation, locate the UXTU icon on your desktop and double click to launch the application.

Navigating the Interface

The UXTU UI has three main sections - Premade Presets, Custom Presets, and Adaptive Mode.
These three sections allow you to tune your device however you prefer.
Other sections include the Game Library, System Info, and Automations.

Premade Presets

Universal x86 Tuning Utility offers premade presets specifically designed for Zen-based processors.
These presets are preconfigured settings tailored for specific use cases, providing convenience and efficiency.
Premade presets serve as excellent starting points for customization and experimentation while tuning.
Simply click on a desired preset to apply it to your device.

Custom Presets

The Custom Presets section allows you to create advanced tuning configurations.
Depending on your system, there are various settings you can modify according to your preferences.
After configuring your desired settings, there is an option to apply them and/or save them for future use.
Custom Presets provide a high level of flexibility, allowing users to tailor their device's performance to meet specific needs.

Adaptive Mode

UXTU features an Adaptive Mode, offering an intelligent approach to optimizing processor performance.
Adaptive Mode implements an adaptive TDP (Thermal Design Power) algorithm, dynamically adjusting power limits to optimize performance while maintaining stability.
By continuously monitoring processor temperatures, Adaptive Mode intelligently balances power limits to achieve the most stable performance settings.
Turn on Adaptive Mode with the "Start Adaptive Mode" button, and adjust the polling rate to your preference.

Other Sections

Game Library: View and launch installed games.
System Info: View device specifications and information.
Automations: Choose to automatically apply settings during specified events.

Tips for Successful Tuning

Make gradual changes instead of drastic ones to maintain stability and longevity.
Be cautious of the recommended maximum temperature and TDP for your hardware.
