Question on Jumperless Mobos

some background info. Back in the old days when I bought my first computer, to change the multiplier settings and FSB settings you had to use jumpers. Well, the thing is when I set something too high sometimes it won't boot. To get it to boot all I had to do was set the jumpers back to a lower setting. Easy.

However, I bought a regular MSI K7T Pro2a (i'm a poor bastard who can't afford new shiznit) came last week. Haven't setted it up yet cause those bastards at Krex.com won't ship my 850 T-bird, last time I buy from them. Well, what I want to know is if I set it too high and it doesn't boot, how am I suppose to get back to the Bios?

 
usually there are a couple of pins you short on the m/board to clear the bios settings. removing the battery temporarily does the same job!
your bios should then be at factory settings!
 
On my MSI6163Pro you hit F10 during boot and it will reset the bios to default settings. Easier than clearing it with the jumper.

there's more then enough adaquete safeguards in case you set it to something you can't boot at. you can (1) use a jumper to clear the CMOS, or (2) hold a certain key that'll boot it safely when you power up (insert key), or (3) remove the CMOS battery which'll clear it. also the cmos resets after i think 4 resets or so on some mobos, i think the old abits had that so you just had to hit reset a few times. depends on the mobo really.
