# Processor-Boosting Tools Intel's Performance Maximizer Conveniently Overclocks CPUs By Daniel Johnson | Published 2019-06-25 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intels-performance-maximizer References: [engadget](https://www.engadget.com/2019/06/19/intels-performance-maximizer-tool-overclocks-cpus-with-one-clic/) & [intel](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/processors/core/performance-maximizer.html) [Intel's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i9-14900ks) Performance Maximizer is a tool that can overclock a user's CPU with one click. The tool examines the user's processor and its individual settings -- it then uses this information to change the settings for a performance boost. Intel calls the process "hyper-intelligent automation," and it allows users to overclock their CPU without having to play with the settings themselves. Previously, overclocking was done by users manually changing the settings to optimize performance but with Intel's Performance maximizer, users can conveniently access [overclocking tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/msi-afterburner). The tool works with six versions of Intel's [9th generation processors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/9900x3d). The processors that are compatible include the 'Core i9-9900KF', 'Core i9-9900K', 'Corei7-9700KF', 'Corei7-9700K', 'Core i5-9600KF', and 'Core i5 9600K.' Manual overclocking can still bring the CPU to slightly higher speeds, but this tool can bring it to a similar speed much more conveniently.
