How to Remove Overclocking

[PizzaTacoCat]

Good Afternoon,

 

I have recently used ASUS's Dual Intelligent Processors 5 software to auto-overclock my computer. I'm not a fan of how much hotter it is making it and its causing my CPU fans to run at 100% during games. I'm new to overclocking and don't want to mess anything up. What exactly do I need to do to restore everything back to default until I can get a new 360 rad cooler for my CPU? My computer also occasionally sounds like a USB is being unplugged and re-plugged which makes me think there is some kind of instability. 

 

I'm running a Core i7 8700K, 16 GB ram, Asus maximum hero X Wifi motherboard, EVGA 120mm closed loop cooler, RTX 2080, 500Gb NVME Samsung 960 Evo, a 1TB and 2TB western digital black, and a 250GB SSD.

Just go into your BIOS and do a restore factory settings, then F10 (May be different in your BIOS) to save and exit

Never use software to overclock, remove the program first and then reset the BIOS and everything should be back to the way it was
