Didn't think you could mess the BIOS just from overclocking but I'd imagine that there would be a switch like on dual BIOS motherboards that enable you to switch between the two.

Like the 69XX series cards, the dual-bios switch on the 79xx series is a physical dip-switch located on the edge of the PCB, usually along the same plane as the CF-X fingers.

There should be a switch beside the crossfire fingers. If you plan to flash bios onto this card, here is a tutorial in backing up your bios and flashing it:http://www.overclock.net/t/1353325/tutorial-atiwinflash-how-to-flash-the-bios-of-your-ati-cards
