I'm in exactly the same position, first overclock on my 2600k. If you boot to BIOS with a warning about overclock instability then it has likely reverted to stock settings. Otherwise it should not spontaneously revert. Have you tested your oc with prime95 or similar?
One other thing I noticed is that the gigabyte windows software (easy tune) sometimes reverts my oc to stock as soon as the program loads in windows. Needless to say it is now uninstalled.
