Question Asus optimal

[archer_41]

I saw this in my bios today on my z97-e board. I remember using it once before but seeing MASSIVE performance drops in games. It broke WiFi and wouldn’t let me use the bios again (I flashed it to get back in) and I don’t know if the optimal mode caused it but I just want to know if I need to have that on for OC or if it actually gives me performance boosts.

If you intend overclocking, just do it manually. I don't believe you need to use any presets to do so.

Depends entirely on what that settings profile does. Is this the type of BIOS that shows you the changes before you save? If not, I would just find a decent Haswell overclocking guide and go from there.
