Universal x86 Tuning Utility (UXTU) is a free Windows utility for adjusting processor and GPU settings on x86 laptops and computers. The project says it works best with Zen-based CPUs or APUs, or Intel CPUs from the fourth generation onward. Users can apply premade presets, configure and save custom presets, or use Adaptive Mode, which monitors processor temperatures while adjusting power limits. The application also has Game Library, System Info, and Automations sections. AutoOC monitors CPU and memory instability signals and adjusts Curve Optimiser offsets for Zen-based CPUs and APUs. Version 26.3.0 added an in-game overlay, preset backup and import, tray shortcuts, Windows Power Plan options, Intel premade presets, and experimental Zen6 support. The project cautions that games with anti-cheat systems may not always work with the overlay. Windows installer and portable downloads are available. The latest stable release lists .NET 10 64-bit, PawnIO Driver, and Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable as prerequisites. The project calls the software a work in progress, provides it without warranty, and warns that misuse could cause instability or malfunction.
