Hi, please help to pinpoint where and which is the CLRTC header, it should be 2 pin right? I am confused, here is the image https://imgur.com/a/uwkDhbc
Thanks
I messed up settings in the bios and I need to find these pins. Here is a picture for reference
I while trying to upgrade RAM in this prebuilt computer ( https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-gaming-desktop-intel-core-i7-9700k-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-2080-super-2tb-hdd-512gb-ssd-black/6401068.p?skuId=6401068 ) I changed the XMP profile and now the computer won’t POST at all. I’ve read about this issue with other PCs and it seems the solution is to clear the CMOS. However, there is no manual that came with this motherboard and I’m trying to find out how to do this properly.
Edit: there was a CLRTC pin that we were able to use to reset the CMOS. Thank you all for your quick suggestions.
If you have a clear cmos button, pres that. If not, you'll have a cmos battery on your motherboard. Remove that and hold down the power button to drain all remaining power and then put the xmos battery back in. This will clear the bios for you.
Just to help out a little, the cmos battery looks a bit like a battery that'll go in a watch ahaha
First try and identify the make and model of the motherboard and download the manual which will tell you what you need to know. If you can’t then use a torch (flashlight for my North American friends) and examine the motherboard closely for a jumper labels “jbatt” or “CMOS”. If all else fails unplug the system, hold the power button in for 20 seconds then pop the CMOS battery out of it’s holder and short the centre spring contact underneath the battery with the side contact using a screw driver or tweezers for 20 seconds, replace the battery and try again.
