The CPU core clock is not being saved in the BIOS on an ASUS system.
The CPU core clock is not being saved in the BIOS on an ASUS system.
Hello Internet,
I've recently faced a problem with my BIOS. Since a Windows 10 Update in late 2018, I've been unable to adjust my CPU Core Clock speed in the BIOS. The update reset all my BIOS configurations, and when I attempted to revert to the previous settings, only the CPU core clock speed would fail to save. - wondering why I'm finally investigating this? I've been on holiday until now. Anyway...
I've tried almost everything: CMOS resets, changing the motherboard, updating or reinstalling drivers, and performing a full Windows clean install. Nothing resolves the issue, and it seems like the BIOS might be preventing the CPU core clock from saving.
Currently running an i7 6800K with ASUS X99-A II, using the latest 1902 Asus BIOS update.
I should note that I've always used ASUS AI Suite 3, which allows me to save CPU Core Speed, but it's not perfect since I have to reload settings each time the PC restarts. I've also tried uninstalling the software to see if the settings would persist in the BIOS, but again, no success...
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. It's been quite frustrating...
Thanks!
I recall a situation where I set a maximum clock rate of 5000, but I’m having trouble locating it. It doesn’t appear in Windows Power Management. It might have been present in an older version or maintenance level. Avoid updating the BIOS just because you think it could help; do it only if the update addresses an issue affecting you. If you proceed, ensure you download the BIOS to a Fat32 USB drive. A failed BIOS update can be difficult to recover from, and skipping updates removes a safeguard against problems. Stay patient and let the process complete without interruptions.
Windows power management includes an option for maximum core speed. Verify if your configuration is sufficient. The intended maximum processor state is already at 100%. A suggestion was made to update the BIOS directly rather than through Windows, and I plan to try that later today.
