Xuvial, he can't. The board Rennadrel's got doesn't feature those buttons. To clear CMOS on that board requires to use the jumper, I think.

Also, I suggest in the future keeping an eye on features. The debug LEDs, the various extra buttons, etc, are all neat and useful. If you'd gone for the G55 version of your mobo you'd have gotten both I believe.
Can you just pull the battery?
Screenshot taken from your mobo's manual:
A little jumper (piece of plastic, yes) would've come with your motherboard contents. Power off your system, switch off/unplug the PSU from behind, insert the little jumper onto the 2 pins marked "JBAT1" (marked with a red circle in the image), let it sit there for a few seconds, then take off the jumper, power up your system. The BIOS should've reset.
It's a tad different from motherboards I've worked with, I gave up after trying to locate the cmos pins just from images of the mobo (basically 10 minutes of "where are the fucking cmos pins on this thing aargh"), ended up going to the manual :P

We're extremely off-topic guys. Rennadrel, if you're still having problems, feel free to make a new thread asking for specific help.
Bleh bombardment time, I'll PM you.
So I wonder if my PCI slot placement is wonky because it seems in most newer motherboards the PCI2.0_16x_1 slot is quite close to the CPU, while mine isn't.

Wow I didn't even notice that till now. It's much easier than my method of remembering it: If the fanblades are curved convex, you're looking at the intake. If the fanblades are curved concave, you're looking at the exhaust.

Thank you!
haha yeah that's why I bought it.. I'm not anticipating any cooling problems lol. And I'm with you, I hope it isn't too loud, I play with headphones on, maybe that'll help I must admit I was really thinking about the cooling potential and hadn't considered the noise they will make.
Yeah it was spendy, but I think it's going to be money very well spent.
I played wow for it's 1st 5 years, then quit a couple years ago. Back then I played on a mac and it had terrible frame rates in raids, so bad I couldn't do any of the high end raid content, not even when my computer was brand new, a G5 tower, and still couldn't hit MC. I couldn't even go into dalaran during peek hours. I am a die hard Mac fan and have never owned a PC until now, but I'll be the 1st to tell you, they blow for gaming.
I lived in the world of warcraft, and I truely loved it. I've thought about and missed wow, and regreted that I didn't get to enjoy the full experience.
Well this time I'm back and I will playing with everything turned up to 11

Whelp, found the CMOS battery completely hidden under my 6870, so I got my computer reset last night. Kinda concerned about my CPU temperature though, even at stock it's running warmer then it did on my Sandy Bridge board. I used to get 28 degree idle temperatures, now my sensors are all saying low 30's
