reinstalling windows on a overclock CPU
Hi guys,
Pretty much I need to reinstall windows 8.1 because of a glitch in the system.
I bought my alienware Aurora R4 with a Overclock 6 core i7-4960X which is clock to 4.3ghz
It is my fist time resintalling windows on a computer thats overclock and i have no experience or understand on overclocking. Will i lose the over clock setting once my windows is reinstalled? or will everything remain as it was ?

The overclock settings are set in the BIOS so they will not change if you reinstall windows.

now if you dont mind. im kind affraid i might have done something wrong. please tell me i didnt do anything wrong and stupid.
After pressing F2 during boot, before exiting i hit "Restaure Defaults" does it restaure to defaults that the alienware came with whihc factory setting or is it totally reset ?

You can check if the system is still overclock with the help of this article.
PS: if you are not able to download the INTEL Turbo Boost Monitor you can use a third party website like majorgeeks.
