Alienware aurora R1 overclock issue

I was trying to overclock my Alienware Aurora R1 and Now it wont even post. Is there a CMOS reset somewhere? I have looked at the mio board and it shows a factory default jumper but i cant seem to find a CMOS or bios reset.

Help please?

    The CMOS reset jumper is near the battery ... near or under the video card. See page 114 in downloadable Service Manual.

    Im a tad bit confused.

    This is a x58 chipset with a Core i7 920 it should be capable of 3.6~3.8ghz on the processor, but I'm only able to kick it up to 3.5ghz and 1750mhz RAM clocks stable

    (no bluescreens)

    What am I doing wrong?

    Im a little confused at the overclockablility of this machine.
