Reinstalling windows on an overclocked PC

Hi. I bought an overclocked pc from OCUK a while ago, and I want to reformat it. It's overclocked in the BIOS, so from what I've read it will keep the overclock when reinstalling windows. My question is will windows 7 by default reinstall the correct drivers when installing itself?

Thanks.

PC will be overclocked in the BIOS and nothing to do with Windows settings / drivers

What motherboard does it have? So someone can point you in the right direction for drivers. The majority of drivers are automatically installed by Windows 7

I have a P67, which is pretty common so I'm guessing windows will be able to install them automatically.

Just let Windows install the drivers for the mobo. Having an overclock in the bios will make no difference to how it will install.
