Question I cant find the CMOS reset button on my mother board

[iStqsN1]

I have the Asus H110M-R and i have looked all over it to find the CMOS reset button but i just cant find it. Please someone can send a image with the position of the button or where should i search for it.

This is why they made manuals - https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/H110M-R/E11428_H110M-R_UM_V2_WEB.pdf

Page 1-3, item 10.

Did you try the second option and removing the CMOS battery?

It's not a button. It's a jumper (item 11 in the image) which you need to short to clear CMOS.

If the jumper is not present, then you need to remove the battery for a good 15 minutes, or so, while the power is disconnected from the Power Supply.

It's just 2 pins, you'll need to use a screw driver or something else metallic to jump the 2 pins to reset bios defaults.

Lately, I have noticed that some MB manufacurers do omit the BIOS force clear jumpers--probably because so many people are automatically opting to just remove the RTC/backup battery. I just can't see that the pick and place cost of adding the jumper is significant enough to warrant its omission otherwise.

Then there are those, like MSI, who have kept the jumper and added an externally accessible clear push button switch--probably due to the demands of over-clockers who have pushed their timings into un-bootability, and don't want to open the case to reset.

In reality, the pads for the jumper header are probably there, and just wire-shorting them would do the trick, too.
