It looks like the cmos battery and jumper is right under the video card judging by the manual and picture. That means I can't clear it unless I remove my video card? The reason I want to clear it is when overclocking and it doesn't post I have to clear cmos right? Is there an easy way around this or does it mean I can't easily overclock on this motherboard since it's so hard to clear cmos?

I have to actually get to the jumpers first which I think are under the videocard :-\ if the bios will reset my overclock setting if post is unsuccessful so I don't have to clear cmos that would be nice...

Is this just bad design of the board? :-\
