3 ways you can do it.

 

1:There should be a clear CMOS button. Press and hold that for 10 seconds.

 

2: Load into the BIOS and usually its F7 to load optimized defaults.

 

3: remove the battery from the motherboard and put it back in after about 5 seconds.

Check the manual?

A lot of boards don't have one.

Never mind I just held f7. But my ram speed is only 2133 when it's really 3200. Any way to fix this?

Enable XMP if your CPU and motherboard support it, or manually change the timings and frequency.

This is all info that can be found in the manual...

I would highly recommend reading the manual and watching youtube videos beforehand if this is your first time.......

Otherwise you might screw something up and brick or damage a component.

It's usually by shorting the JBAT1 pin (near the battery) for 10 seconds. You can use its included jumper or just simply connect 2 pins which are required to be shorted with any metal, I usually use any metal paper clip if there's no integrated clear CMOS button or no included jumper.

 

If you use any metal, don't touch other pin while you are shorting the 2 required pins which need to be shorted

I've watched build guides and more stuff, and the build was successful. my problem was that I accidentally clicked something random in the bios and needed to reset it. Thanks for all of your help.
