RistoEe Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 you most likley own a dfi b/c you can OC correct? and now your compling of voiding a warranty..... No... I had one RDX200 before this one and had problems with stock clocks... mailed to DFI and they send me latest BIOS (at the moment) and advised to flash it. And yes, it was beta BIOS. And I never have had any problems with RMA cause of beta-bios... so that's why it's kind of weird in my point of view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordite Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 I believe that is to prevend RMA's due to custom modified BIOS's, DFI "releases" a beta, it's called a beta because it hasn't been tested fully yet on different system setups. So it can't be guarenteed to work/fix problems on all computer setups. That's what I think anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpsychology Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 I have been told by an Asus tech support once to take out the battery when before I rmad their board. I don't do it as a practice, doing as the earlier poster stated, just take the pin move and wait and then after a minute put it back. One thing, however, DFI could do what abit does, put a long fin at the end of the jumpers, makes it so much easier to reset the cmos because I dont hvae the smallest fingers in the world but making a fin at the end would make it so much easier to reset the cmos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clue69Less Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 "Therefore let’s say it again, we strongly urge our users, “If you need to clear CMOS, please use Clear CMOS jumper to do so. Do not remove the battery on motherboard for clear CMOS purpose!” So what is the approved procedure to replace a dead battery?

red930 Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 So what is the approved procedure to replace a dead battery? I'd probably swap it out and probably flash the bios just to be safe. Guess I honeslty don't know the 'approved' method though. Either way, I wouldn't try to load anything from 'CMOS Reloaded'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

prosser13 Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 Anyone else think the CMOS jumper positioning must have been designed by a lady with really small fingers? It takes me 5 minutes to take my off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
