hello,
i have a asus P5e , and a very large 9800GX2.. I can't overclock my current rig because i can't reset it when my bios aint booting. Thats why i want to make an externeal cable from my bios reset switch to a reset button outside my case. I have seen this solution before but i don't the link anymore.
anyone who can help me?
thanks for the fast reply,
you see this link :

this shows how the reset switch works, i can't hook up a connector like that guy from petra did? or do i have to start soldering on my motherboard and lose my warrenty?
an other pic of my mobo :

you can see the reset switch in the right corner next to the battery
Oh I see, you have a switch instead of a header. Well, that sucks...
Soldering would be the best option, but you could try taping the stripped ends of some wires to the back of the mobo where the switch is, which should work well enough for this prurpose. Just make sure you don't short anything!
Here's another option for you. No soldering needed and no need to try and get stripped wires to stick.

i alrady found this topic, but still i have a switch? I mean how can i connect that EC when i don't have the pins to solder/connect it.
It is so freaking easy man.
You don't even need a button or anything on the end.
i just have two bare leads which i tie together for ten seconds when the pc is off, and vwellla the bios is reset.
As Los Alamos director J. Robert Oppenheimer watched the demonstration, he later said that a line from the Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita came to mind:
"I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
Test director Kenneth Bainbridge in turn said to Oppenheimer, "Now we are all sons of b**ches." wiki
There is no solder involved.Originally Posted by ward0
you just need two of the female adpaters which plug into your mobo and control sound, pwr button, reset, etc.
There will be a pair of pins up by the bios battery for resetting the bios.
When those two metal pins are connected while the power is off, the bios will be reset.

are you sure the P4 as your signature shows that you have, is the same layout like the P5? because what pins are we talking about ? i only know the switch and the battery itself
fragmaster - his board has a BIOS reset switch but no pins
ward0 - here are a couple of options for solder-less board-mods, so long as you can work out which of the solder-blobs on the back of the mobo do what (using a multimeter to check which solder blobs have zero resistance between them when the switch is in different positions would be the way to do it if you have one)
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=151983 .....on the second page i posted another way it could be done
you might need to hack a hole in the motherboard tray of your case if you want to do my way
I have a P5E too and my dual 4870's block the CMOS switch. But i just unplug the power cord for 2 min and it resets. I think its ASUS's C.P.R..
thats not very handy fatguy? I mean if you want to move the PC to somewhere ells you have plug it back in otherwise your cmos is reset...
I think it only kicks in when its not posting. Cause its never cleared it before when I was just moving my computer.
Are you sure you don't also have pins? My QuadGT has a back I/O switch and also has the pins in around the same area.
nope try to find them
-to big to say it all- i can only use up to 4 lines
