Overclock gone and problems?

Bikerz · 29 Dec 2007 at 10:03

Ok my Q6600 was nice and stable at 3.6 Ghz on water. Been like this for a few weeks and totaly fine. Then suddenly goes back to 2.4 on cpz etc..., werid, so I try and go into bios, but it just wont have it, press del and just says clocking failed press F1 to continue, grrrr. No matter what I press I cant get it into BIOS, its on a ASUS P5KC should I clear *** CMOS with the jumper? It says how in manual, but says remove battery 1st, this board im sure doesnt have a battery, well I cant see it if it does, so can someone confirm what I should do and let me know if it doesnt have a battery?

Cheers

Yes it does have a battery just like every other mobo, I have ever seen. Look at the left most PCI socket (white) and there is a round silver battery. Pull that out, dump the mains supply then short the jumpers.
