Its silly but I can't enter BIOS for some reason.  I keep spamming the Delete key and nothing happens.  I tried spamming during the whole restart process and nothing happens.  I should note I am using a Corsair K95 RGB keyboard.  Not sure if that matters but throwing that out there just incase.  
 
I was reading the basics to OCing from Jacob and was going to attempt to OC today but can't get into the BIOS to do so, so not sure what else I could do know.

    If you're using the Classified or FTW try switching to a different BIOS and trying agian. Try a different keyboard if that doesn't work.

    Press and hold the small red button on the motherboard or on the rear I/O Panel for 5 or 6 Seconds.
    Use the Two USB 2.0 Ports on the back of the I/O Panel the Top Two Ports.
    You will then need to Press the F12 Function Key to enter the Bios.

    Thanks.  
     
    That was actually going to be my last resort if I couldn't do it the standard way.

    I have three default Bios Settings I use.
     
    1) Clean or Base Settings.
    I set the Default setting for the Bios like setting Anything to do with Sleeping and Hibernation that is I Disable all ACPI. I Disable Virtualization, the secondary NIC Card and Wake On-Lan if part of the Bios. I Disable any feature that I do not use. I set the SATA to AHCI and turn off any Hot Plug *I do NOT use any Motherboard base RAID EVER.
    For Raid I use True Raid Cards. I set the PCIe Lanes to Gen3 and Speeds if needed.
    2) Base + Memory Settings.
    Set Memory if used XMP or manual settings.
    3) My Everyday Settings @ 4300 MHz
     
    The rest of the Bios Profiles are used for higher Overclocks, Testing, and Benching and so on.
     
    So for me that Little Red Button is my life back into the Bios.
    It is simple to Press and Hold and once back in my Bios I load my Clean Base Bios and I am back up and running.

    Overclocking and benching as we speak.  All I had to do was swap for another keyboard and its working now.  Seems it takes a while for the keyboard to "turn on" or be responsive than my cheap basic one that I use as backup.  Could be Corsair's firmware or MB's BIOS.  Not sure but I'll have to pass this message to Corsair.
