Big mistake... Screens stay off. Tried to overclock

[randysmashed]

Lol, so I'm not too sure if I'm gonna overclock now. I have a q6600 G0 and a 680i evga board. I was going in to set the fsb to 333 since I read that the PC is stable there without changing volts. (Should be 3.0ghz) Well I believe I changed the right settings, but now I'm doubting myself. When I turn my PC on the fans stay loud and the screens don't change. They just say no signal if I turn them on and off. Any idea on what I should do. I can't even fix what I did since I can't get to the BIOS.

Alright in this image.

I changed SPP<->MCP Ref Clock, MHz to 334. I read in some other post a guys default was at 200 instead of 266 so I figured I was in the same scenario. Does this help out? Any clues?

-sigh- did your clear the CMOS already?

I haven't. This has to do with moving a jumper or something right?

No, the button on the Back I/O panel that says CMOS. Make sure computer is off, press it once or twice then turn the computer on.

Hmm, couldn't find any buttons, but I managed to move the jumper to reset and then back to normal to fix it! Thanks a bunch. Now what did I switch? I'm guessing that was completely wrong?

I've only see a few MB's out there that have the button to clear CMOS on the outside...

I assumed he had a Asus Maximus mobo as that is the one in the link he posted, which does have a back panel clear CMOS button...
At least there was a picture of it when I looked at the link, I should probably look at the rest of the page next time.....
