@HiVizMan: Interesting, since the button is labeled "Clr CMOS" and F1 is required after it.
🙂@Raja: I do like the button, but you have to admit that method one is easier (if everything works), 'cos you don't even have to get up off the chair to use it!
😄 No issues here, was just wondering, however, I'd like to use this opportunity to point out a few of my discoveries on and slightly off the topic:
1) in BIOS version 1408 clearing CMOS deletes O.C. Profiles, but in version 1604 they stay there (using methods 1) and 2), didn't test out others)
2) RAID settings seem to be written on the first disk in the array, resetting CMOS does not clear RAID, it has to be done in RAID utility
3) selecting Gamer's OC Profile resets all other BIOS settings, which might be a bug, or a feature
😛4) on a rare occasion restarting Windows 8 resets some BIOS settings (under BOOT tab, Option ROM Messages goes back to Force BIOS and delay back to 3 seconds).
So, how do I clear O.C. Profiles without reflashing BIOS? And after flashing a newer BIOS, is there a need to load optimized defaults?
