Tip 6. Removing Stucked Overclocks
Sometimes you’re stucked with an overclock you just can’t get rid of. It’s easier then you think. This is how to do it.


Step 1. Spam the Del key as soon as you see the Asus logo when booting.

---

Step 2. Once in the BIOS, press F5 to load the optimized defaults.

---

Step 3. Press F10 to save and exit.

---

Step 4. Shutdown your system and press the clear CMOS on the back.
Step 5. Turn on your system and go into the BIOS again.
Step 6. Load optimized defaults for a second time.
Step 7. Save and restart.



Tip 7. Conflicting Temperature Readings
Has a warning popped up alerting you that your motherboard is burning in hell at 100C? Or maybe it’s frozen like a popsicle at -10C? Don’t worry. Your motherboard is fine. You probably have another temperature monitoring program opened and it’s creating conflicts with AI Suite III.

When you have two temperature polling programs, neither will report the correct reading. Uninstall one of them. But keep AI Suite III of course.

Where can I download it? I have a Maximus VI Hero and I am running Win7 64bit.

[Chino]

It should be under the Utility section of the motherboard support page for the Maximus VI Hero.
