8.2 ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) 8.2.1 Introduction ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) is an all-in-one tool to fine-tune different system functions in an user-friendly interface, which includes Hardware Monitor, Fan Control, Overclocking, OC DNA and XFastRAM. In Hardware Monitor, it shows the major readings of your system. In Fan Control, it shows the fan speed and temperature for you to adjust. In Overclocking, you are allowed to overclock CPU frequency for optimal system performance. In OC DNA, you can save your OC settings as a profile and share with your friends. Your friends then can load the OC profile to their own system to get the same OC settings. In XFast RAM, it fully utilizes the memory space that cannot be used under Windows® OS 32bit CPU. It also shortens the loading time of previously visited websites, making web surfing faster than ever. And it also boosts the speed of Adobe Photoshop 5 times faster. Another advantage is that it reduces the frequency of accessing your SSDs or HDDs in order to extend their lifespan. 8.2.2 Installation When you install the all-in-one driver into your system from the ASRock support CD, ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) will be auto-installed as well. After the installation, you will find the icon "ASRock eXtreme Tuner" on your desktop. Double-click the "ASRock eXtreme Tuner" icon, the AXTU main menu will pop up. 8.2.3 Functions Please be noted that there is a button "Auto run when windows start" on the lower right corner. If you click this button, every time you turn on your system and enter Windows®, the system will automatically start AXTU. There are five sections in the AXTU main menu: Hardware Monitor, Fan Control, Overclocking, OC DNA and XFast RAM. 25
