I ran MSI Afterburner's automatic overclock scanner recently, but I didn't like the adjustments it suggested. I reset it and now it automatically applies an overclock, yet the settings aren't the same as before. It's puzzling. Can anyone explain what's happening and how to revert this?

You can use a tool such as Revo Uninstaller to fully remove MSI Afterburner, then reinstall it afterward. This will clear any remaining files and hidden configurations.

Hey! I attempted this last night and cleared all registry entries and remnants before rebooting and reinstalling. The overclock remains, indicating the problem lies elsewhere on the system. I’ve also verified the BIOS, ruling out app or BIOS issues.

You identify the presence of an overclock by checking system performance metrics or observing changes in hardware behavior after adjusting settings.

At first, launching Afterburner reset all values to zero, but now it begins with a +200 in memory and a curve displayed on the core clock. These adjustments significantly lowered my FPS, which wasn’t what the system was designed for from the start.

I adjusted two methods but wasn't sure which fixed it. In MSI Afterburner I disabled "reset display mode on applying unofficial overclocking," while in the Nvidia App I turned on the automatic overclock scanner and then quickly canceled it to get access to the restore option. After restarting the PC, everything worked again. It seems the Nvidia app was more likely to be the solution.
