Intel CPUs: Upcoming OS updates might bring up to 30 % loss in performance

Hi handrawn,

here no problems. And no I haven't the Asus Suite installed and I'll never do it.
What maybe can be a problem is the revision-number of the board and the used CPU.

I reverted back to before the update - asus suite working again..... mostly I use it for fan control and to keep half eye on cpu temperature

yes it's definitely the update - there has been lots of forum activity in other places

for anyone affected by AI Suite 11 being broken there is an AI Suite III on the way... if you are the kind of person who like to play beta, you can download the beta here: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?98800

at this point in time the first link has reached it's download limit.. but the alternative is still ok - just shows how important fan control and o/c is in certain quarters - I have to rack the fans up when rendering and down when playing [quiet] music it's a fact of life [can't use cans all the time]
