Overclocking through BIOS question

[baskinghobo]

I heard many good things about overclocking through the BIOS and i am thinking to try it myself. But i am a little concerned about the "Flashing the BIOS" part. When you flash the bios to overclock, is there a way to quickly change it back to default settings.

You don't need to flash the BIOS, unless you have a CPU that is not yet supported by your motherboard or you have a bug that a new BIOS will fix.

To reset the CMOS, or clear the BIOS, you typically have to change a jumper, most newer motherboards have a button you can easily push.

And many motherboards (Gigabyte and eVGA for example), if you overdo an OC setting, will reset themselves automatically back to a bootable configuration.
