Odd problem... Bet it is related to overclocking ***Update***

I read somewhere that when you OC... sometimes the voltage needed to maintain that OC increases over time... Now since it hasnt been all that long I would guess that the higher clock may have degraded your cpu slightly so you need a higher voltage to get the lower clock stable again... I am fairly new to OCing so I could be wrong..

Always best to use offset mode when overclocking.

Clear the Cmos and set all your settings back up. Asus has buggy boards.

] I think I will try that. The one I used to change voltage. horgen123

Pretty crap guide. It just shows you how offset is better then a set voltage. Asus boards are bugged with this so you need either +10 or -10 to start... So it doesn't jump to stupid high volts when you go you test your settings.

Any time your browsing or doing light CPU tasks your CPU isn't dieing from high voltage because it will be using a lower idle one. It's also best to use lower LLC if you can. Because the "experts" say vdroop is good.

Just for ref I use +15 offset, LLC 25%, VRM Optimized, fast phase switching enabled and power threshold to 110%.

Checking things in bios a bit more. It won't run at 4.2 anymore. It says in bios that it should run at 4.2 but it runs at 3.8. I won't bother to change either CPU or mobo unless one of them stops working, but I don't think I'll go for Asus mobo when I upgrade next time. Skylake can't come quick enough. horgen123

That's because the board is buggy. If you can, update to the newest Bios. Also if you do have the newest reset the Cmos. Press the button once turn it on... Then turn it off at bios screen. Then hit cmos button again. That should clear your old bugged bios settings.

Or you could pop the battery out for 5 mins.

I to had my bios set and CPU would not change. It wasn't till the last bios that came out this month that it got better. It's stilled bugged in areas and can still not change with my settings.

I also came across a RAM bug... When you had to set your ram first then save. Then reboot and go back in then change CPU settings.

Asus might use good components on their boards... But they are a buggy mess underneath.

*Edit*

Also if you still see settings you set your Cmos didn't clear all the way. Keep trying the button or battery till all settings all gone. I some times have to do it 5 times.
