I can't find it in the package of my newly bought phantom gaming 4/ac z590.

Because of some ridiculous reason I need to reset my CMOS.

Hi Shenkwen,

Thank you for your post.

Please use a metal material like a paper clip to short the CLRCMOS1 jumpers for 3 seconds to clear CMOS and restore your BIOS setting to default.

Before doing this, please make sure the PSU is off.

If you have other questions, please feel free to contact us.

All the best,
ASRock TSD

I haven't seen a board that uses a three pin solution in many years. In the old days there were three pins, and the cap rested on two pins when not in use and you briefly moved the cap to the other two to clear it.

I also don't know why they even have pins on the board anymore. Mine has both a two pin solution and a button you can push to clear it. Do they expect the button to fail? Don't really understand this reasoning.
