Offset O/C and AI Suite II

[SkyDiver]

Hi,

This may be an obscure issue which is why I'm posting it here. I have an Asus P8Z77-V Dlx motherboard and an i5-3570K CPU.

I got it to a nice 4.4Ghz O/C and then figured out how to use Offset so that it only cranks up to 4.4 when I need it to. It has been working for about 1.5 years, solid as a rock.

Recently, I uninstalled Asus's AI Suite II. I forgot that I had it installed until I uninstalled some software that was managing start-up programs. Then I got several start-up UAC messages about AI Suite programs that wanted to run. (I had suppressed them more than a year ago.) Rather than suppress them again, I just uninstalled AI Suite II because I never use it.

However, now my multiplier is stuck at 44 even though Offset is still enabled in the BIOS. I didn't use AI Suite to do the O/C, but it seems that AI Suite changed something in the BIOS on its way out.

Has anyone seen this before?

Yes, it changes bios settings when you do the AI tuner. You need to go in F5 and save to get stock settings.

Thanks James. I'm still cranking at 4.4 GHz, so I don't want to go back to stock again. I just need to figure out why I have Offset enabled, but the Offset is not actually working.
