CMOS Reset switch

[phpdog]

Dont you think its about time motherboard manufacturers come up with a different method of Resetting CMOS/BIOS ? even if its just on the mainly enthusiast sector of motherboards ?

This is an internal chassis function that gets used by PC enthusiasts countless times .

There should be some sort of backplate solution available at least .

Does anyone know of such a device basically just something plugs into the 3 CMOS pins and controls what pins are partenered ?

I recently made 1 myself and i dont think i'll ever go without 1 now , because i can overclock a lot easier without being temped to bump up the setting too much too soon to save on restarts and resets .

It's called the insert key.

Yeah that used to work sometimes on my epox 8rda+ but on my abit boards it never works , thats mainly why i made the switch .

I wish tapping the insert key would work but it dosent always work for me and not at all on my Abit AV8 , and the amount motherboard have advanced in the past few years a simple switch EVEN a flick switch onboard would be better than the jumper pin device .

DFI has them on their lanparty boards... its not an external switch but its a switch.
