I bought an i7 2600k overclocked bundle from from Overclockers last year and while I have been really happy with the performance I am suffering with some lock ups and the occasional overclock failure.

I am currently running Bios 0703 on the p8p67 M pro board and would like to update it to the latest but as I bought it pre overclocked I am a bit reluctant to loose the overclock settings.

Is there anyone kind enough to spend the time listing the settings I need to save as I'm a bit scared of doing it from scratch and I use my pc to raid on WoW most week nights.

None of this is Overclockers fault and is down in my opinion to the tempremental nature of the board.

Thanks in advance.
 
In bios, under ai overclock menu. Note down all of the settings. Or alternatively, take some photos of the current bios settings, save them to a photo upload site. That way you always have a record of them.
 
Thanks guys

I should have thought of that myself but I thought It would affect more settings than just the ones on the ai overclock menu.
 
Older Asus boards can save BIOS profiles to USB memory sticks/internal hard drives. I imagine newer ones can too.
 
Yep, my two current x58 boards have the ability to save to usb. Im sure its available on the latest boards.
 
Even if you can save the settings to a USB memory stick you still need to record them manually.

There's no guarantee that the motherboard will let you load saved settings from one BIOS version into a different version.

Even re-entering all the settings manually isn't guaranteed as a new BIOS version may need slightly different settings from the old.
 
Quick update

I have now bought http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-295-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517 to replace my http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-293-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=

I have also downloaded the new bios and will update it as soon as I have enough understanding of what I'm about to attempt.

After reading the advice given to me in this thread I think I will have to start the clock from scratch. I'm not trying to clock the nuts off it but I'll hopefully get it back to where it is at the moment.
 
I have no problem at all with copying the settings over but if they don't work I won't know where to start to resolve the issues.
