AI Suite 3 Version 3.00.10 & 3.00.13 - user test/report thread

For some reason, I can't can't break 4400, neither manually attempting to OC via the BIOS or with AI Suite 3. I'm running Windows 10 Home 64bit on a 4770K, and every time I try to go over 4400, Windows crashes immediately after the login screen to a glitched BSoD. I always have to go back into the BIOS and set the values back to suit 4400, as seen in the photos below. I understand that AI Suite's 5-Way Optimization requires the computer to restart 2-3 times but I had to abort and reset the BIOS value again after it crashed and rebooted 6+ times. Anyone know how to get AI Suite past this hiccup or Windows 10 to allow OC'ing past 4400 in general.

When I used Windows 7 years ago, I was able to get a stable comfortable 4500 and could have pushed to 4600.

You have to increase CPU system agent I believe. +0.300 offset for the haswell series.

Thanks for your support.
For my part I will wait for your update along with the one of Windows to return to the stability, and I will leave my impressions.

I've installed version 3.00.13 but my machine is still crashing regularly and not always when gaming. Often when I try to force restart it doesn't seem to output any video to the monitor, so I have to switch it off and wait for a short period and then try again. Sometimes that works. Occasionally when I do get into Windows I'm getting alerts telling me "Display driver failed to start", even though it seems like everything's working as expected (that is until it crashes again).

Is anyone else still having problems with 3.00.13? After a week or so of this it's starting to get pretty frustrating.

Edit: I've uninstalled AI Suite and it's no longer crashing.

USB 3.1 Boost was removed from this one?

Original one that came with my board had more components / install options

This one seems to have fewer?

Everything is working better on my Maximus IX Formula AISUITEIII v3.00.13 bios 1203, windows 10 pro
Except of course for the Water pump+ header but this is a day one issue Im still waiting for a fix for!

EDIT: Just noticed AISUITEIII is resetting my windows power plan to balanced on every reboot like many others have reported

You're not the only one!!! I spent a LOT of money on my P8Z77-V Premium and expect it to still be supported by AI Suite at least!!!

i have the version from a couple weeks ago. i noticed an error with windows power settings. i cant keep it on "performance" it keeps reverting to balanced. i am trying to disable my PC from ever going into SLEEP mode. since i have dual raid SSD's and sleep mode is bad for them.

does the .13 version fix this. does anyone have a direct link to the latest version, why is it so hard to find?

Also... worth noting that the AiSuite III version 3 upwards may understate your CPU temperature,

Therefore SMART fan control may be running the CPU fan under the RPMs actually required...

55 degrees Celsius in AiSuite could actually be as high as 65 degrees Celsius...

Use a 3rd party application like CPU-Z or any system monitoring tool like Corsair Link to confirm the temperature discrepancy.

I was considering doing this solution for the Power plan issue, but what exactly does DipAwayMode do anyway?

Updated version 3.00.13 with patch for the power plan issue. Tested on X99-E:
