ASUS Z87 Motherboards - Overview, Guides and Official Support

[Raja@ASUS]

Definitely doesn't work then. I'm running the latest AI Suite and checked all the components against the Asus global website. I'm running a Z87-Pro with the latest 1205 UEFI, and it reloads the old UEFI settings into AI Suite at every boot, and won't save the settings back to the UEFI. The version of AI Suite unpacks to "AISuite_III_Win7_8_Z87-Deluxe_VER10044" - is this the correct version for the Pro board? It is what is given under the Asus Z87-Pro download page, and it is newer than the one on the support CD.

It does save the settings to UEFI when you run the 4 Way Tuning, but after that any manual changes do not stick between bootups.

This is especially annoying because it's loading a massive 1.275v adaptive voltage into the CPU under load, giving very high temps and high voltages that are completely unnecessary and potentially damaging, and won't save my changes to the settings. I've had AI Suite report 1.396v under load, when it really isn't needed to get stability on my chip.

The adaptive voltage and AVX instructions are the issue. I've told people if they are going to run AVX stress utilities NOT to use adaptive mode. The CPU will just throttle down as the temp breaches anyway. You can set UEFI to manual mode and the VID wil just copy over to a manual VID.


Let me make the rest clearer. It seems we have crossed wires here:

1) After you run 4-way, the settings it determines will write back to UEFI.

2) If you want to change anything AFTER 4-way, do it in UEFI, NOT in AI Suite III. Manual changes in AI Suite III by you do not write back to UEFI. Only the 4-way portion does. I think that is the part that has you confused.
