Or have a motherboard like Asus which detects OC failures and allows you to reset the settings with no need to touch jumpers, switches or your battery
PS: I hate Mikey
But he's right
No need to remove it for 5 seconds.. it detects an improper shutdown and prompts
(so hitting the reset also causes a prompt only you can press F1 to boot normally or del go into the bios and change your OC
)
