updated bios f21 and want to go back to f5
« on: April 23, 2017, 05:11:00 pm »
GA-170x Gaming 5
i5 6600k oc to 4.1ghz
16gb ballistix ram
Gtx 1060


so i absent mindedly updated my bios yesterday to the f21 version from f5 and after doing so i saw a huge fps drop in most of my games. mostly counter strike. i usually could average about about 275 300fps but now i only average about 90fps. the only thing i have changed is updated the bios so im curious if that is the problem so i tried to reflash back to the f5 version but it said that its protected from doing so. if anyone has any input i would greatly appreciate it.
