They say it is safer to overclock in the BIOS than a software utility. I'm not sure if I am correct but most likely the reason why is if you save a broken OC on a software, it will be hard to enter the system if it keeps BSODing on startup as it loads the software. Instead, clearing CMOS is faster. Not sure if I am correct here so take with a grain of salt.

you're not entirely wrong, but that's assuming you set to auto-apply. You can always get around this by booting into safe mode and removing the offending software, it is extra trouble though
