After applying Asus EZ Tuning Wizard, my applications and system continued to crash and become unstable.
About two weeks ago I assembled a PC and was playing games on it, which performed well. I chose to overclock it using Asus EZ Tuning because my processor is unlocked and I wasn’t sure how to do it. After doing so, I loaded an app and noticed significant slowdowns. My system would crash or become unresponsive when opening certain applications. In the BIOS reset, everything seemed to work properly. If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
Overclocking is most effective when done by hand. Asus EZtune, OC Genie and similar tools are just marketing tricks, designed to impress the uninformed. It's like a salesperson showing you several cars in one row and pointing out the red one, saying it's faster because it's red. This approach is not reliable.
Start reading. Explore forums, dive into Asus ROG discussions, and learn everything related to your BIOS settings. Understand what each term means. Investigate coolers and values—remember, the nzxt M22 is a 130W AIO, which barely competes with a CoolerMaster hyper212.
Do thorough research. When you feel you have a solid idea, revisit it and dig deeper until you're confident in your findings.
Please refrain from using EZ tuning. Could you clarify the make and model of the PSU?

Thank you for your message. I reached out to ASUS and they advised me to verify my PC setup. The recommended action is exactly what you mentioned.
Sorry I wasn't able to fix the issue directly for you, but OC really requires a practical approach. To achieve the performance boost you're aiming for, it will depend on your effort and persistence. Every CPU behaves uniquely, reacts differently to adjustments and settings, so what functions on one may not work on another. This variability makes software-based solutions impractical. Software simply can't adapt or think—just tries generic changes that often fall short. Be prepared for some trial and error, as success isn't guaranteed. Good luck, stay patient, and it will work eventually.
