I just updated the BIOS on my Asus P8Z77-V Pro, and the temperatures at max load increased by 5 degrees. Also the core speed and voltage both decreased. Before and after I tested using the default settings. I'm brand new to this stuff, but this doesn't seem like a good thing. Should I revert to the factory BIOS?

but I really appreciate all the help I can get. Like I said in the new member forums i'm a TOTAL noob to overclocking, and i'm also rusty in the computer hardware area in general. I've been trying to find specifics on my Asus BIOS, but without much luck. There just seems to be ALOT of different settings that do essentially the same thing, and it seems to be auto adjusting the voltage as well. Then again maybe I have the voltage set to auto :-/
