Hi guys, I would like to ask you, if there is some easy option to set my overclocked cpu back in default settings (3,4 ghz and also default voltage settings).
If not, which value should I set in voltage settings if I want the same voltage, as the processor had, when I bought it.
 
Solution
Your motherboard should have a "CLEAR CMOS" button at the back of the computer (its very small)
Use a pen or something and hold it down whilst the computer is running.
This will reset your BIOS to factory conditions, as a result giving you the voltage settings that were the same as when it first was turned on.

If all else fails there might be a button on the board to clear the CMOS, or a small battery to pop out. That said I think on most motherboards you can simply reset to default from the BIOS.

I have MSI z87-g45 gaming motherboard btw...
Would I have to instal my OS and everything else again when I press the CMOS button? :p, or it will just affects the cpu, ram etc...?
