Hello: I have been fiddling with the auto-tuning function in the AI Suite III - 'Dual Intelligent Processors'. I am a novice at OC so not sure about the settings. I have tried this with a target of 4.5 Mhz and 1.35 volts and also without any targets at all. With the targets I got 4.6 Mhz with a multiplier of 46 (15% OC). I noted some possible stability issues (that I was not sure were related to the OC) and also my benchmark was good but not near the top for the same equipment and speeds (it was about 133000), so I decided to do it again without targets. That time it came up with a 7% overclock but with a wierd setting of 102 Mhz with a 42 ratio for a 7% OC, and a significantly lower benchmark. Also, do I use TPU I or TPU II? I used TPU II, but I was guessing.
Question: is it best to do this with targets or without, or is manual OC with a fixed ratio a better plan than using AI Suite? Thanks!
PS = I have Maximus IX Hero, ROG Strix GTX 1070, i7 6700, 16 GB DDR4 3200 Mhz
