How to overclock your system using AI overclocking
Overclocking your system means dipping into untapped potential for better performance.
The idea of pushing your CPU past the stock defaults in pursuit of lofty gains is tempting
for anyone, but the process can be daunting for beginners. For years, we’ve been baking
loads of tweaking options into our motherboards, including automated tools like 5-Way
Optimization and OC Tuner that make it easy for inexperienced users to test the limits
of their systems with just a few clicks. Our latest generation of Z390 motherboards
(https://www.asus.com/us/search/results.aspx?SearchKey=z390) takes automatic tuning to
a whole new level with intelligent prediction. AI Overclocking is faster and more efcient than
other methods, and it allows you to overclock a system in just a few short steps from the
UEFI or desktop. Naturally, we had to take it for a test drive. This guide provides a walk-
through for how to overclock your system using AI Overclocking.
Gather intelligence for prediction
Our new auto-tuner takes all the guesswork out of overclocking your processor. It’s smarter
than the pre-baked proles used by some solutions because it tailors settings to your
individual system. Our proprietary algorithm rates the silicon quality of your CPU and the
cooling capabilities of your PC before producing a score for each. The resulting Sil Quality
and Cooler Score form the basis for the optimized conguration suggested for your rig.
