I think the BIOS is different for every board... just a guess Parker... I don't have the 975X Infinity board, thus I don't know that board's BIOS.

Er, not clocks. Like anything on the lines of jumpers (I've got some of those) and enable/disable.

Oh whoops, sorry... no, I'm really not sure... the official DFI Club forums can probably assist you.

HA, Nate.... I was meaning "in general" you know DFI's bios pretty well.
ASUS's bios's are all pretty much the same, so I'm just guessing that DFI's bios's are all pretty much the same.

If you want to fix that CMOS jumper problem, turn off your computer and turn off the PSU. Hit the power button on the case to discharge the caps. Now, take the CMOS jumper off and using your fingernail or something, slightly bend one of the pins outward. Since there's only three pins, bend the one on the outside a tad. Now, slide the jumper back on. You should feel a slight drag on the jumper as you slide it on. As long as you don't get crazy, your chances of hurting anything is zero. I've done it probably 40 times or more on various mobo's. Especially back in the day when there was 20+ jumpers on a motherboard.

Didn't you love settings voltage, ratio and bus speed all with jumpers. Ah it was the good stuff. :P
