    Help with lost / overwritten BIOS settings

    Hi,

    My system had one of it's very infrequent boot up failures and while I normally would just load and save the over clock settings to restore things, due a momentary lapse of concentration I've over written the settings. F11 instead of F12.......

    Lesson learnt for the future - do not carry out changes when distracted with other things as a warning message will not save me!

    Under control panel the processor is currently showing as i7 920 @ 2.67GHz 2.56 GHZ.

    Are there any default settings I can use to quickly reverse my stupidity, or do I work down a guide such as http://www.overclock.net/t/538439/gu...-930-to-4-0ghz or http://www.overclockers.com/3-step-g...core-i3-i5-i7/

    Thanks in advance for any help/input.

    Problem solved, loaded one of the older 'Success Boot Records' in bios and re saved. Back to 3.8GHz now.

    Nice to see that Bios has these safety nets built in!
