Anyone use Asus AI Suite vs change the BIOS for overclocking ??

Asus AI Suite is terrible, much better to go via BIOS.

Otherwise though, if your running AMD I would sooner use AMD overdrive, intel im not sure.

BIOS always works though, its just not as practical as an in OS tool since you have to reboot everytime you want to try out a new OC... Not that big a deal for most of us though since we have time :kaola: 

Keeps your OS clean as well!

Oh I don't like to install a boatload of programs to my machine, and I find that when I OC I tend to install a cr*pload of programs to do this.

I know I'm a perfectionist like this :pt1cable: 

When you OC in the bios, you are making adjustments directly to the MB attributes. Using the AI software requires the software be running under the windows OS. This uses unnecessary system resources and relies on the accuracy of the software to make the very same changes you can make precisely and directly in the bios. The bios is the best place to adjust values like voltages. Also the bios adjustments are constant. If the software gets corrupted so do you settings.

So the answer is BIOS... for most users...
