C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)

The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic restore to the BIOS default settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking. When the system hangs due to overclocking, 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 setting for each parameter.
