Boy it has been a while and I have not cranked up the Intel rig for some time now , when I did noticed the oc was gone.

I remember when I built it the mobo had a bios profile memory for set oc , can't remember where that is , anybody ?

Wow, you're testing my memory now.

IIRC my Asrock Z68 had super-easy overclocking; 2nd main tab/icon in the BIOS was dedicated to overclocking and all I needed to do was leave everything at defaults but change the all-core CPU ratio to 45 for the 24/7 4.5GHz overclock I ran. That's all you have to do, other than check XMP is enabled, otherwise it'll likely run at 1066MHz

Speedstep and Turbo can be left enabled like this, and at least on my Z68 there was a setting to add voltage offset to turbo and speedstep seperately.

For ASRock I recall the options for saving (or loading) config profiles should be in the Exit menu of the BIOS.

Load OC profiles is at the bottom of the OC Tweaker page on my AsRock Z77

if it lost CMOS settings, it could also need the battery replaced, maybe? I mean once you get it figured out.

Given that this issue cropped up after the system had been powered down for a long time, I'd say this is quite likely.

I would say so , and the date and time were off.
