When chasing benchmark records, it is often necessary to be able to change the settings from the BIOS at runtime in the operating system, e.g. to set a higher cache clock with which the CPU could not boot. EVGA also provides its own “Eleet X1” software for this very purpose. Download size and installation effort are kept within limits and before the first start of the current version 1.0.7, a firmware update is performed only once.
In the “Overclocking” tab we find analog to the BIOS the multipliers and baseclock of CPU and cache and the voltages of the CPU. Unfortunately the Load Line Calibration and the DRAM VTT voltage cannot be set here, which would be desirable for an upcoming version. On the left there is also a small monitoring section where the current settings can be read out. Saving and loading settings in profiles is also possible here, as known from the “Precision X1” application for GPU overclocking, for example.
There’s even a “Memory” tab where you can change most memory timings in real time, which again can prove extremely useful for benchmarking. Unfortunately, tREFI here again cannot be set above 65000 and tRAS has a minimum of 28, which does not match Rocket Lake’s specification and in the second case can also bring a significant performance disadvantage. In both cases you can help yourself with the tool “MemTweakIt” from Asus, which is compatible with the EVGA Z590 Dark.
In the monitoring section, voltages, temperatures and speeds can be monitored in the same way as in the BIOS. Unfortunately, it is not possible to adjust the fan curves here. In the system tab you can find additional information about CPU, mainboard and RAM, as you could also read them with CPU-Z.
Of course, RGB must not be missing in 2021 and so the integrated and connected lighting can also be controlled in the “LED” tab. Also the automatic start and check for updates of the application can be defined in the settings and even hotkeys for the different profiles can be set up. This works fine in the current version and is a handy feature to be able to change the CPU clock with a single input during a benchmark run, for example.
Finally, it should be mentioned that the resource consumption of the Java-based application is also completely within the limits, especially compared to standard Windows components. Eleet X1 makes a good impression overall and can be used without any problems, whether for benchmarking or in daily operation for controlling LED lighting.
