cpu after format....

[Schizo]

i formatted my h/d and installed vista from xp,i had my 6600 overclocked to 3.1 but now it's gone back to the normal setting of 2.4 ?
i didn't know that if i formatted a h/d it would reset the chip.
can someone tell me if this is the case please.

try loading up the cpu. does it go back to the expected speed?

whats that and how do you do it ?

ive just loaded up cpuz and now it's gone down to 1.4 ?
i think that must be the speed step kicking in ?

can i reset my bios setting's to there default's now and restart my overclocking again in vista ?
