Asus Overclocking Software

[havokator]

Is AI Suite the software for Asus motherboards that lets you overclock the motherboard/cpu from within Windows? Has anyone used this AI Suite and how does it work?

It's ok with the P67 boards, but I find it overvolts too much for the speed it settles in at. Manually overclock and don't rely on the software.

AI Tweaker" Page"

AI Overclock Tuner = Manual

BCLK/PEG Freq = 100
Memory Frequency = 1600mhz or whatever freq your Mem is.

OC Tuner = Disabled

EPU Power Saving = Disabled

EPU Settings = Disabled

Dram Timing Control. Set to memorys SPD timings.

Internal PLL overvoltage = Enabled You need the latest bios for this option

CPU Power Management

CPU Ratio - Manual

Turbo Ratio = By All Cores

By all cores = 50

Turbo Mode = Enabled

Load Line Calibration = Ultra High

VRM Spread Spectrum = Disabled

VRM Frequency = Manual

VRM Fixed Freq Mode = 370

Phase Control = Extreme

Duty Control = T.Probe

CPU Current Capability = 120%

Dram Voltage = Set to Memory spec.

CPU Voltage = Manual - 1.375v to start for 5000 Ghz. May require more or less. Be careful with the voltage

All other voltages = Auto

Advanced -> CPU Configuration Page

So you can't use the software to manually set the voltages and other BIOS settings?

Has nothing to do with the OP's question.

I can't vouch for any earlier versions but the AI Suite II that came with my P68 board works well enough. It directly modifies the settings in the BIOS and yes you can change pretty much any voltage that you can in the BIOS. The only difference that i can see is that the settings are not applied when you boot the computer, but rather when you load the OS.

So it sounds like it is better to modify the BIOS settings directly in the BIOS than to use the AI Suite application.
