BIOS Settings Won't Save

I have a Ryzen 5 1500x on an Asus Prime B350-Plus motherboard, and whenever I try to overclock it my settings don't save. After clicking save and reboot the automatic OC Tuner turns back on and my manual OC is gone. I have the latest BIOS update installed and I've tried clearing CMOS by removing the battery on the motherboard, but so far nothing has worked. How do I fix this?

do your other bios settings stay the same? like boot order and all that?

What do you mean by that?

In the BIOS there's usually a clock showing the system time. If that's gone wrong every time the settings resets then it's the CMOS battery being drained dry.

Everything stays the same except for overclock settings.

maybe your overclock is too severe. it will reset itself if the overclock fails. try overclocking it a little bit less.

First off, locate the section in your manual to reset your bios. Then, in your bios, find the option to load bios Defaults. I think hitting F5 will do it.

 

Watch the video I'm going to link below. Ignore all the crap he does in Windows. Just use Aida64's System Stability Test to stress the CPU / FPU / Cache (first three boxes) for at least 1 hour, preferably more to ensure your overclock is stable. Personally, I'm not satisfied with my CPU overclock until I can run Aida64 overnight (7hrs) without it failing. Use HWMonitor to keep an eye on your CPU Package temperature and CPU Core Voltage. Your temps shouldn't go above 80c and your voltage should stay at, or near what you set in the bios. Follow his methods for overclocking the CPU. However, DO NOT USE his EXTREME Load Line Calibration recommendation. He clearly has no idea what damages he's suggesting people cause. Extreme LLC is a no-no. I don't care how good the board may be. Set this to Regular or Medium. You could probably even dial back the VDDCR CPU Voltage offset to one that sets the core voltage at 1.30v as his recommendation is a bit high. You should have no problems reaching 3.8GHz at 1.30 to 1.35v.

That's not it. I can't even set it to the default clock-speed.

intresting. i don't have experience with ryzen, but do you have a button on your motherboard to force a bios reset? if so, try that.
