This isn't just torture utilities though. I've been using an MP4 encoder to test real world usage/stress (actually encoding some video, not torture testing), and that's AVX enabled. I'm pretty sure people will be using AVX in the real world. For instance, it's used in the GRID 2 game that came free with my Haswell CPU.
Okay, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me as to why AI Suite will not allow manual changes to be saved between boot sessions, but if that's how it works, at least I can understand what is going on and make changes in the UEFI instead. Thanks for taking the time to explain that to me, I appreciate you clearing that up.
Maybe AI Suite could be made more clear that 4-Way testing is saved to UEFI, and subsequent manual changes in AI Suite are not? It's confusing because some parts of AI Suite (such as the fan profiles) are loaded between boot sessions, but others (like the TPU) are not.
It also seems to me that this new 1205 UEFI with changes to enhance stability have simply given a lesser overclock and a more aggressive adaptive OC voltage. That might help people who have poor Haswell chips, but for people like me with good, fast clockers, it's worse than with the 1007 UEFI, at least under the 4-Way optimisation.
