Did you use the boost profile? Don't they still make boards for overclockers that have the bios reset button on the back I/O? If not, you could connect the reset to the clear CMOS when overclocking?Just an example. After a failed RAM overclock attempt, it brings up a message saying I can load BIOS defaults to boot or I can go into the BIOS. Both options do not work. I click like crazy on them with the mouse. Smash keys on the keyboard. It doesn't work. The menu doesn't accept any interaction other than highlighting the option or the UP and DOWN arrow keys. Maybe on a 3rd boot it will work but that's a BIG maybe. So I figured out a workaround. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot and start smashing the DEL key. It enters the BIOS before it has a chance to trigger the stupid BIOS default screen.
And I had to take out the CMOS battery maybe just ONCE with my ASROCK Z790 in its entire lifetime with me. With the Gigabyte, it's EXPECTED after the BIOS goes into an infinite loop due to some tweaking. Thankfully, it's easy to take out the battery.
