ASUS Motherboard H61M-E H61 B3 BIOS Configuration/Customization Help...

[S3qu3l]

Hi, i recently formated... and reinstalled windows 8.1...

Anyway.. i was looking around and updated my Motherboard drivers and bios at the same time..

On my ASUS H61M-E H61 B3 (LGA1155) updated the bios to latest one

Brand : American Megatrends Inc.
Version : 1104
Date : 2014-06-24

The thing is i never really used the ASUS Suit II and configurated my bios settings..

Can someone tell me what i should do to overclock a little or just boost my performances ?

I all i did now is boost the fans to get less heat on my CPU and Motherboard and GPU/Graphic Card..

I think you have optimal set your asus, btw i'm asus user with old version P8H67-M >> http://s18.postimg.org/evi5gu1tl/ASUS_Motherboard_H61_M_E_H61_B3_LGA1155_Imgur.jpg

Just a head up regarding your thermal readings.

CPU/GPU - 65C

HDD - 44C

If these readings are continuous, you need to worry.

[Ragdd]

Modern Asus motherboards have AISuite.

TurboV Evo is the overclockers tool in it and EPU is the tools that lets you control voltages and fan speed.

If you manually wants to set fan speed you need the Fan Xpert.

There you can set the fan speeds at a certain CPU usage.

Before i rebooted to takes theses pics i was running a game at full settings for almost 2 days straight..

that's probably why the temp was a big high...

:P Yeah, i think i just need to buy a better colling system if i want to optimize more..
