My motherboard is a Asus Dark Hero
Hey guys, been searching online and got multiple answers on what the cmos button does when you press it/hold it down
1. It resets your motherboard setting to default settings on your CURRENT bios
2. It resets your motherboard bios version to the FACTORY version
3. I clears your cmos chip to factory settings and version just like when you first got it
Also I have a few more questions please to clear up any confusion:
4. Is there any difference between the following methods of resetting BIOS (clearing CMOS) settings:
a.inside BIOS, using option "Load Optimized Defaults" (or, if applicable, load fail-safe defaults)
b. At the back of the motherboard, pressing , Clear CMOS" button
c. On the motherboard, using the (CLRTC) jumper
d. On the motherboard, reseating (not a typo, for non-english speakers) the CMOS battery
e. Reflashing BIOS using the same version
my last question is:
**5. After flashing a newer, same, or older BIOS, is there a need to load optimized defaults and then start setting everything up from there
Thank you again everyone! I appreciate it!
