But there's a problem.
Someone said he had the 1.78v bug after he properly cleared CMOS after flashing.

And Sin said you're supposed to load optimized defaults, *then* clear cmos :/
Why would this matter?

Clearing CMOS clears everything, so it's like starting fresh.

What does loading optimized defaults do? And why would this matter if you're going to clear the CMOS anyway?

Because every flash I've done, I power off the computer right away, without restarting, I unplug the power supply, press the clear CMOS button a few times, hook everything up, then go in BIOS and set all my settings again. I've never loaded optimized defaults before...

Are you saying that if I do this WITHOUT 1) loading optimized defaults and 2) clearing CMOS AFTER loading optimized defaults, this 1.78v bug will happen?
