Two ways of doing it. Ether set the setting by hand or hit the restore to default button. Just keep in mind if you restore defaults then you may need to put some settings back or it wont boot.
Thanks for the reply. I think I'll just leave it alone and leave it on OC2. I see you have your 980 running at 4 ghz. I have the 990X running at 3.47 which is how it came. I thought by using the OC function in the Bios that this would also up the 3.47 but it don't. What do I have to do to up this? I will this time write down everything so I can put it back as I don't need the extra speed right now but would like to learn what to do. On my Dell I have all you had to do was highlite the 3.47 and hit enter and then up/down arrow to raise this. Was quite simple but there are a whole lot more options on this Alienware.
Right now it's overclocking the CPU when you push the system by using the turbo. OC1 and OC2 bumps the turbo value and the volts for it. If you want that speed all the time just go into control panel and set the power option to High Performance. That will make it run at that speed 24/7.
I would leave it like you have it. There is no need to be running at 4ghz when surfing the net. The way it is now it will jump up once you start pushing the system with a game or something. Thats the best way to do it. You save power and reduce the chance of the cpu getting worn out real fast.
Use something like cpu-z to check the speed and not windows system tab. Windows will not report the OC.

Pull the battery from your motherboard for about 30 secs. This will reset your bios back to default.

Is that different than using the F button in the bios that resets it?
