I want to try my overclocked bundle pc to stock settings 2.8, just to see if i can notice the change in gameing compared to being overclocked. If the change is not much i would rather run the pc cooler. Its a phenom x6 1055t overclocked to 3.8 bundle with a fenrir cooler, 4 gig dominator ram, geforce 460 1024 mb graphics card and a 1 tb samsung spinpoint f3. I have set up my drives to run in sata mode as well.
would all i need to do is just load default bios settings?. I know i can get the overclock back on by pressing f12 in the bios.
 
Yup default bios settings would do the trick, it works for me with my i7 ocuk overclocked bundle system.
 
OCUK tend to save the overclock profile in the BIOS, so hunt round for profiles and there should be at least one. (They often add profiles for a few overclocks).

Just select stock. :)
 
you will have a default [stock] and an OCUK [clocked] profile if i did it.

otherwise just load failsafe defaults in the bios [motherboard manual explains this depending on the board]
 
And always take notes of your overclocked settings, just in case something go's wrong and you lose the oc profile.
 
If you do try stock settings, and choose default/ fail safe settings, make sure to check which sata mode you are using.

If currently using IDE, then no need to worry and go ahead.

If using ACHI, you will have to load fail safe settings, save, reboot and then re-enter bios, and change the sata mode back to ACHI as it will default to IDE.

The reason i bring this up is, that if you are running ACHI, and you use fail safe, and forget to change the sata mode back, windows won't load, if it was installed under ACHI mode. When i first did that it scared the **** outa me at first until i realized what had happened.
 
The only profile in the bios is the overclock profile. No stock profile. I have saved my stable overclock as a profile. Not convinced the OC profile was brilliant to be honest, firstly I had to plug in a ps2 mouse to get into the bios because the usb was disabled the bios. I know overclockers check the system is stable but when playing bf bad company 2 for a while it locks up, the same with ghost sniper. maybe they should try out a few games before saying its stable. I underclocked it myself to 3.5 following a guide on youtube and its been fine since.
