bios overclock question

[packersfan036]

before I update the bios on my asus maximus viii hero motherboard can I clear the cmos from within the bios settings? also I'm currently overclocked, so would I have to clear the cmos to update the bios? and does the pc have to be off to push the clear cmos button on the motherboard? or can I clear cmos from inside the bios?

i would clear system off but you could reset bios to default by undoing any overclock change ,

You don't need to clear CMOS. When update bios all your profiles and settings are automatically cleared and returned to default.

Just load default or something from profile.
