My bios reset after fitting new CPU fan

I just installed a new AMD CPU fan (which included removing the CPU so i could clean the paste off) and when i turned the PC on my Gigabyte bios was reset. I was confused at first, Windows saying the pin code needs to be reset etc. But going into the bios it said it was reset. I set it up, XMP etc, everything seems to work.

 

Just wondering why this happened? Are there any side affects i should know of?

 

Thanks.

Does it happen when you remove the power for a few minutes? If so replace the CMOS battery and see if that helps
