Good time of the day, guys, tell me which option you need to activate in the BIOS on this motherboard so that if memory overclocking fails, you don't have to pull out the CMOS battery every time?
 
Depends what you get. If you get the F1/F2 screen, you just press F1 to enter the BIOS. Your old RAM settings will still be there, but inactive. Then you need to change something and press F10 again to save & exit do another memory training pass. The three rules with instability: Either lower frequency, loosen timings, or add voltage. Sometimes a combination.

If you get nothing except a black screen, then you either try the reset button and see if it restarts the memory training. If not, you can usually keep the power button pressed until the PC turns off, then turn it on after a while for another try. Usually on the second try it can show the F1/F2 message.

You never ever have to take out the CMOS battery. The most you have to do is a Clear CMOS by shorting JBAT1 with a screwdriver.
