Apparently IETU is sensitive to the underlying link which it should not be. Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel XTU) stress tests CPUs in addition to overclocking them and monitoring their function. C:\ProgramData is a hard link to D:\ProgramData. The software interface exposes a set of robust capabilities common in most enthusiast platforms along with new features available on new Intel application processors and Intel motherboards. However the file does exist at D:\ProgramData. Intel XTU is a Windows-based performance-tuning software that enables novice and experienced enthusiasts to overclock, monitor, and stress a system. Average Bench: 65.7 (445 th of 1364) Based on 79,671 user benchmarks.
