I'm trying to overclock my cpu, and decided to use Intel's XTU.

My system specs are:

Intel i7-10700k

Nvidia Rtx 3080

Nzxt N7 z490

Corsair dominator ram 16gb x 2

 

However, when I start it, it says that I'm missing some drivers.

When I go to the link it provides me, I can't find any drivers related to the XTU.

What drivers am I supposed to install, and how do I fix this?

Is your Bios locked and you don't have overclocking settings there ?

I know these posts aren't usually very helpful but my bios must be very outdated and chipset drivers are about 2 years old, cpu isn't overclockable at all to my knowledge, yet XTU works just fine, so can it really be drivers? 

 

Specs in sig and no, I've never overclocked it, only undervolted...
