CMOS reset switch mod

Not sure this forum is the proper place but no others seemed to fit either.
At any rate, I thought this may come in handy for you reviewers and those that are constantly tweeking their O/Cs.

That's a great idea, but I think it would be smarter to make it so that switch can't be turned so easily...such as using an ignition switch.

Yeah, putting it on a PCI backplate or somewhere on the back would probably be best as mentioned to keep kids/others away from it, as well as having the CD audio plug attached to make it portable.

Wow what a coincidence, just last Friday I was thinking about doing the same thing to my Gateway mod, the mobo has the CMOS jumper in the far corner and my voodoo 2 gets in the way of access and I hate having to take it apart, was going to actually do the mod this weekend but got swamped with work.

cool idea, slider has a good idea about the switch too

What happens if you do reset it while you're running the 'puter? Anyone ever try?

And cool idea.

Definately dope! I hate opening my case while working on an OC....

you should use a switch that requires a key, keep the key on one of those chains with tiny little balls on it like on your bath/sink plug..... that will definately stop anything from happening, you could even do the secret agent/government thing and have two swtiched and you need to do both for it to work
