I actually used a new CMOS battery too.
So I unplugged all the cables and took the car to another room. I opened the glass panel, unscrewed the card. Pulled it out of the slot. Then cleaned it while keeping the cables on. Then I pulled the CMOS. Then I cleaned the rest of the PC for about 30 minutes. Then put in the new CMOS. And then put back the card it. Yes the 2 cables from the psu were attached to the card the whole time. But obviously it was in another room from my desk so no power.
Anyway, i then put everything back in. Everything lit up, keyboard, ram, the card lights.
But no output on do or hdmi.
Btw, I cleared the CMOS again and held the power button for 5 minutes before plugging it again, after I made this post. Also i unseated the ram and stuck it in again.
Honestly I don't want to buy a new card if I can help it. But still wanted to ask.
Also, is 4070 ti super much better than the 4070 super?
