Intel's overclocking software for intel Core i7

During the Intel Developer Forum Taipei last week, Intel demonstrated its Desktop Control Center overclocking software for the Core i7 platform. It's expected that the software will be suited for beginners, as well as die-hard overclockers.

The software allows you to adjust settings like the multiplier and voltage of the Core i7 processors in Windows on-the-fly, the memory frequencies, timings and several other voltages, such as the QPI voltage can also be altered in the same way. Apart from adjustments, several settings are displayed in the software.

The software would also allow the enabling/disabling of Turbo Boost (also known as Turbo Mode). This feature makes it possible to switch one ore multiple processor cores off, increasing performance by raising the clockspeeds of the active cores.
