I've tried this guide https://overclocking.guide/gigabyte-z370-overclocking-coffee-lake/
to overclock my i5-8600k. I've never messed with overclocking before, but after doing everything in this linked guide, nothing made a change or obvious difference after exiting the BIOS and restarting my pc. (checked cpuid, system, etc) and everything was stock.
Since then, i've recently used Intels "Xtreme Tuning Utility", and have gotten a visible and verifiable change with it. 4.6ghz instead of the stock 4.1, which cpu-id verifies as currently applied in the "clocks" tab. Still, windows system tab shows 3.6ghz. in the about section.
My specs:
Gigabyte z370 hd3 (f8)
Gtx 1080
I5-8600k
Windows 10 home
Evo 212 cooler
16gb 2400mhz ram
HOWEVER, after restarting or turning off my pc, the settings simply revert to stock and i'm stuck with the boring 4.1ghz clock speed, until i re open XTU and re-apply my profile for the 4.6ghz overclock i'd like to keep.
I know some of you might say "why dont you use the bios, duhhh" but i've already tried, and i cant find a simple walkthrough besides the guide linked above that works.
So... any suggestions? i'd hate to have to re open this program to just get it back to the overclock i want.
