I recently overclocked my CPU and GPU and my performance went down, though everything looks normal, no damage or overheating. Is it a bottleneck maybe? I have a RTX 2060 and Ryzen 2700X

What GHz did you overclock the 2700X to? If you are using the stock cooler, I would put the 2700X back at stock settings, as that processor already gets nearly all of its available performance out of its stock boost clocks. You might be able to get a few percent more performance out of an overclock, but only if adequate cooling is there to handle it. Otherwise, excessive heat might be causing some throttling under load.

If your performance went down from overclocking, putting things back to were they were before is the first thing you should try.

And what games are you seeing lower performance in and at what resolution?

Also, how high did you overclock? A Ryzen 2700X is likely to boost into the 4+ GHz range at stock settings, and perhaps as much as 4.2GHz at times in some lightly-threaded games, so unless you are overclocking close to 4.2GHz, you might actually be seeing slightly lower clock rates in some titles than if they are just left at stock, or with Precision Boost Overdrive active.

Don't assume temps with a gpu. There's only one sensor for temps on gpus and that's in the gpu processor itself. Does not take into consideration the VRM's, vram or other mosfet/heatsink around the board. It's not hard to overdrive the VRM's into thermal throttle at 90°C or more, and be seeing gpu temps in the 60's.

Same can be said about the VRM's in some motherboards, if voltages are excessive, they'll cook, yet the cpu may not show as such.

I'd strongly suggest that you read up Alot on OC if Ryzens, do's and do not's, limitations of coolers and your motherboard in particular, pbo boost and it's 3 sections etc. Before any attempts at OC.

Most OC on gpus does not require any voltage changes, probably does not need or warrant maximum power limit settings etc. My gtx970 at 124% OC required no additional voltage, power limit at 114% out of 125%. Raising the power limit just created instability as there was too much available power through the VRM's, raising temps too high.

I was getting 70+ frames in Rust now im getting around 40-60. Also in siege i was getting 160+ and now im getting below 120 into the 80's to 100 range.

How do I reset my bios?

To reset your BIOS, there may be an option in your BIOS menu to return settings to defaults. Alternately you can open the side of your case with the system powered down and unplugged, and either remove the shiny CMOS button-cell battery for some seconds, or short the CLEAR CMOS jumper pins on the motherboard, which should cause the board to forget its current settings and return to its defaults.

The manual that came with your motherboard should describe the process in more detail for your board. You can look up your motherboard model at the manufacturer's website for a digital manual if you don't have one on hand.
