AI Suite 3

[baloonis]

Greetings. I tried overclocking my i5 6600K with AI Suite 3.It shows an overclock of 4,2 GHz, CPU-Z shows the same, but the BIOS shows a speed of 3,5 GHz. How can this happen? Is my CPU overclocked or not?

 

Overall I am not very happy with AI Suite 3. How can I revert back to stock speeds? Uninstall it?

 

Any advice much appreciated, thank you

 

(from now on I will only overclock through BIOS itself)

Well, if you are OCing it within windows, it's pretty obvious that the OC wouldn't show up during BIOS, as the OC program wouldn't even be loaded by that time...

to undo AI overclocking, easiest is to reboot to the UEFI, and press the F5 key (restore defaults), then F10 to save. reboot to OS.
