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.
