I've got an Intel 10850K with an ASUS TUF Z490 Plus motherboard. After using Intel Extreme Tuning, I achieved stable 5.3 GHz across all cores. Are there any differences when overclocking with Intel software versus BIOS? I'm just starting out with this process.

They claim it's better to overclock via BIOS than using a software tool. I'm not sure if that's true, but probably because saving a faulty overclocked setup in software can make it tough to boot normally if the system keeps crashing at startup while loading the program. Clearing the CMOS is quicker. Just keep in mind, this might not be accurate—take it with a grain of caution.

You're close, but that depends on how you set it up. You can bypass it by restarting in safe mode and deleting the problematic program, though it adds extra work.

I don’t know the exact steps, but you can check your motherboard’s manual or manufacturer website for BIOS overclocking instructions. If you share the model, I can help find the right process.
