How do you reset the CMOS on the Asus X370 Strix Gaming? Besides pulling the battery. Thanks!

From the board's manual http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/ROG_STRIX_X370-F_GAMING/E12768_ROG_STRIX_X370-F_GAMING_UM_WEB_20170512.pdf?_ga=2.258995274.175417815.1502611162-1297645575.1502611162
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Use a metal object such as a screwdriver to short the two pins (the pins are at the bottom side of the board, labeled as CLRTC)
3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer

Thanks! Was looking for CMOS. What does CLRTC mean?

"Clear Real Time Clock", which is legacy talk for resetting the CMOS.

Does removing the battery work just as well or is there any chance that won't clear the BIOS?

Same. Unplug the power cord before removing the battery.
