  • Motherboard & Processor
  • It is essential that the motherboard you use to test your processor is fully compatible with your Intel® processor.
  • Consult your motherboard manufacturer’s support to ensure the motherboard supports your processor.
  • If you are using an Intel® Motherboard please use this utility Intel® Processors and Boards Compatibility Tool
  • Motherboard BIOS
  • It is essential that the motherboards BIOS is at the minimum BIOS revision specified to support your Intel® processor.
  • Consult your motherboard manufacturer’s support to ensure the BIOS revision is at the correct revision.
  • Motherboard Architecture
  • IPDT is only compatible with motherboards built using Intel® Architecture.
  • Over-Clocking
  • Over-Clocking should be disabled while running Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool.
  • Power Management
  • Some power management features (e.g. Intel SpeedStep® technology) throttle or reduce the operating frequency of components within the system.
  • These types of power management features may result in very low tested frequency results.
  • This does not mean that the processor is operating at degraded performance levels.
  • It means that the enabled power management feature is optimizing the efficiency of the processor, either to save power or reduce heat within the system.
  • We recommend you disable any power management features such as Intel SpeedStep® technology and configure your system to its optimal power management settings,
  • When running Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool. For instructions on how to disable these power management features, please contact your system manufacturer.
