Intel Desktop Control Center

We finally found Intel Desktop Control Center using the traditional “Search” function on Intel’s official web-site. When you look at the screenshots thumbnails, you can hardly imagine how huge the actual window is going to be in reality.

The red indicator on the left reports the current CPU frequency and utilization. On the right-hand side you can see the same precise data on the bus frequencies and memory timings, although the voltages aren’t reported correctly, and there are simply no temperature readings.

By clicking the “+” button you can adjust the following parameters:

… the CPU:

… the memory:

… the PCI Express bus:

… the rotation speeds of system fans:

However, it is pretty hard to trust the program with adjustment of voltages if it cannot measure them correctly. And how could we change the fan rotation speed if the utility thinks it is 0rpm?
