C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)

The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting to the

BIOS default settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking failure. When

the system hangs due to overclocking failure, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open

the system chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply shut down and reboot the

system, and the BIOS automatically restores the CPU default settings for each

parameter.
