software Intel ROC, is Intel’s overclocking software, which is used in Intel’s laboratories and test centers (of course, don’t confuse it with the AMD ROCm software platform). YouTuber Der8auer was able to visit Intel’s labs, where Intel tests its new processors before release. Intel uses special motherboards to test processors, motherboards that have special capabilities for specific tests. Many of these features are not built into consumer motherboards and will never be.
Intel ROC overclocking software
The most interesting tool available to Intel engineers is the overclocking software ROC (Real-Time Overclocking), which, like many of these tools, is not available to the public. This software, in combination with special Intel motherboards, has direct access to the processor control parameters and can be used to change all the processor parameters and overclock it at the moment.
This software is much more practical than the Intel XTU platform that is made available to the public. Intel’s ROC software provides independent access to each processor core with just one click. With this feature, a processor can be overclocked with just a few clicks.
For example, in the presence of Der8auer, a Core i9 13900HK laptop processor device has been overclocked with ROC software. This processor is not equipped with a desktop platform like the 24-core HX version, and instead has an Alder Lake-P platform with 8 P cores and 8 E cores. This processor is installed on a test motherboard and a special custom cooling system is also installed on it. This platform is designed so that its processor can be easily replaced.
During this test, Der8auer was able to overclock this processor up to 6 GHz, but the system crashed as soon as the frequency reached 5.99 GHz. The frequency of 5.8 GHz was also the last stable frequency of this processor. This number is a great number for a 16-core laptop processor.
Intel currently has no plans to publicly release ROC software, but perhaps bring some of its features, such as a friendly user interface, to XTU software. Of course, the software version available to der8auer is a special version that was most likely developed for this YouTuber’s tests, and it is not the version that Intel engineers work with.
