Overclock Settings not saving

[ninja1108]

Hello,

I'm currently trying to overclock my CPU but my BIOS reverts to default settings when I try to overclock it manually but when I use Asus' OC Tuner the machine's overclock settings stay though its only a little bit of overclock. It also saves other settings like my voltage settings just not the clock speed settings as it keeps resetting to the default 3.50 hz

Here are my specs.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3970X CPU @ 3.50GHz (12 CPUs),
Memory: 16384MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 16328MB RAM
Powersupply: 1,200 Watts - Corsair AX1200i
Motherboard: Asus P9X79 LE
Cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 120M Liquid Cooling System 120MM Radiator

Help is greatly appreciated

Have you checked your CMOS battery? Sometimes that will be the cause of lost BIOS settings whenever you power off your machine. If you're overclocking though, I'm sure you probably already thought of that...
