Reset button

[Danie0408]

Yoo guys, this will probably be the noobiest and dumbest question ever.

But many cases have a reset button, but I never ever use the reset button and I'm also afraid that if I do plug it in to the motherboard, that I will accidantly bump it.

So my question is: Why is there a reset button on the case, do you guys use it?

You can simply leave it unplugged, but it's good for hard resets if the system bluescreens or freezes but you can also always cycle the PC on and off via the power button.

I'll use it every once in a while, but they're kind of pointless in my eyes. but say youre in a game and it freezes and your windows key is disabled. the button comes in handy

i dont because i feel like its not the way how it should be done....i mean i like to power my computer fully off when im restartig to the point where no electricity flows into the cpu or whatsoever. and a rest button wont help because its jus as i sayd reseting and if i run into OS issue not allways helps(i know that i reapired a lots of computers trust me) just better to plug directl out form the wall or switch the psu off

The reset button on cases can sorta be your last resort if you have a software error and can not click restart. 

 

basically it restarts your pc.

A lot of today's mobos have a hard reset button right on the board anyway.  It's your choice.  I have mine installed for the rare case that I need it.  But my unit sits about 3 feet away from where I sit.

Would've been useful on my old laptop that constantly had memory leakage
