As long as you didn't hit the button labelled 'self destruct' you're fine!]]> Fri, 25 Jan 2019 06:40:38 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10766&PID=60247&title=pressed-the-clear-cmos-button-on-x370-taichi#60247 <![CDATA[Pressed the Clear CMOS button on x370 Taichi : Thank you both!

Thank you both! I know pressing it on full power would have been a big NO-NO, but wasn't sure on a full unpowered state. I'm relieved!

Yes, it's not a bad thing to start a used MoBo from default.]]> Fri, 25 Jan 2019 06:29:30 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10766&PID=60245&title=pressed-the-clear-cmos-button-on-x370-taichi#60245 <![CDATA[Pressed the Clear CMOS button on x370 Taichi : Yeah, I can confirm what Xaltar...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10766&PID=60242&title=pressed-the-clear-cmos-button-on-x370-taichi#60242 Author: xhue

Yeah, I can confirm what Xaltar said, in case you don't trust a single opinion.

Irony here is that you actually did good, without even knowing it. ]]> Fri, 25 Jan 2019 05:31:54 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10766&PID=60242&title=pressed-the-clear-cmos-button-on-x370-taichi#60242 <![CDATA[Pressed the Clear CMOS button on x370 Taichi : You are fine, all it could do...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10766&PID=60239&title=pressed-the-clear-cmos-button-on-x370-taichi#60239 Author: Xaltar

You are fine, all it could do is reset to CMOS defaults which I always do anyway on a new build ]]> Fri, 25 Jan 2019 04:47:04 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10766&PID=60239&title=pressed-the-clear-cmos-button-on-x370-taichi#60239 <![CDATA[Pressed the Clear CMOS button on x370 Taichi : I bought a used x370 Taichi motherboard,...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10766&PID=60232&title=pressed-the-clear-cmos-button-on-x370-taichi#60232 Author: JeffreyWiden

I bought a used x370 Taichi motherboard, and was dusting it clean before putting into my new build.

It was JUST the motherboard with CPU and RAM in their sockets, no PSU power cables attached. The Motherboard's battery is in place.

I accidentally pressed the CMOS button on the back.

Would that do anything?

Thanks,
