Asus prime z370-a TPU being weird

Hey everyone,

So I recently upgraded to the 8700k and an asus z370 board. Everything's been great so far except for one thing.

I've noticed that randomly after my computer has been on for a while the AI suite software in the TPU section says it increased my bclk frequency to 200. I've never messed with the TPU or bclk frequency.

My system is overclocked to 4.7ghz but everything is done manually. No auto overclocking at all.

It could be hours, days, or sometimes not at all but it still happens. I look in HWmonitor and real temp and it says my bclk is at 100 but the asus software says otherwise.

Normally I wouldn't care cause I assume it's just a software glitch with asus since the other software is reading normally and my computer is running just fine but....

When i restart my computer it seems to take much longer to restart when that bclk glitch happens and it just sits there for a good minute before restarting. Nothing like how it restarts when the asus software is reading normally. Restarts in a few seconds.

I'm trying to narrow down what the issue is. It's not the biggest deal in the world but I'm trying to learn a little more about the situation. Is there a way i can just turn off this TPU thing or maybe just uninstall AI Suite?

In the picture it's reading normal but when it happens that 100x47 is reading 200x47 and cpu speed is at 2% instead of nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

First of all please remove AISuite since you don't need this stupid sw. For fan control do it from bios. I think it is trying to implement some kind of auto overclock due to temp and voltage headroom available. I would suggest you not to believe this type of overclocking as these sometime dials more voltage in core/soc eventually damaging the components. Uninstall it first then go to bios and I am sure there will be an option in tuning menu where you set your overclcok there will be a TPU option with multiple drop down selection. Set it to either disable/none/current do not select any preset or something. Just check afterwords.
If problem is not solved then reset the bios after uninstalling AISuite and do apply your overclock settings...
