For fan speed profiles and slight overclocking, the Windows app is ideal. The latest HWiNFO 64 works well as a monitoring tool. To ensure Windows hasn’t changed BIOS settings, check BIOS options directly or use a bootable diagnostic utility.

Bios is the one that sticks. The system won't let Windows change it.

Yes, these Windows tools are designed to work within the BIOS configuration limits.

Most software adjustments face problems, BIOS is the genuine solution, generally more reliable and simpler (provided you understand resetting CMOS), except for MSI Afterburner.

It's one of its well-known problems... it performs decently, but depending on your requirements MSI Afterburner could be a better choice. Both can work together since RTSS supports both, making integration smooth. However, Hwinfo64 previously experienced significant delays, so it might not be ideal in certain cases—monitoring could be disabled for specific sensors.
