    When overclocking with XTU, I notice that after the overclock / reboot the graphics clock is down from 10x to 2x, is that normal? also the current that I can apply to it is less and won't go over 16A, what gives

    Integrated Graphics are disabled in the BIOS when discrete graphics are active. XTU should not even be displaying those settings. They are irrelevant. I noticed that an update of XTU that I downloaded the other day is displaying them for some reason. Just ignore them. You cannot adjust settings on a component that is disabled. Not sure why XTU is showing this bogus information.
