Hi, I was increasing the clock on the 9700k and now stuck in a boot loop. I've now realised if I reset the bios I won't be able to use my 9700k any ideas??

Why will resetting BIOS prevent you using the 9700K?

Resetting the BIOS does not undo BIOS updates, it just defaults the settings. Just remove the CMOS for a minute and it will reset the BIOS to default settings.

I'd also power cycle the PC.

Shut down and unplug, hold the power button for 10 seconds. Then remove the CMOS for a few minutes. Then reinstall the CMOS battery and try to boot up again

What exactly happens when you try to boot?
When I turn on it reboots after a second or 2 and keeps repeating. I only put out the unicore to the same value of my 5ghz over clock which had been working fine for weeks. It doesn't even display debug LED codes I'm guessing it's dead?
