Is Resetting CMOS required after BIOS update?

[VaynardX]

As the topic implies, is it really necessary to reset the CMOS after BIOS update? If yes, why do I have to do it? If No, why?

No, it should not be necessary. I've never had that problem, I believe a BIOS update flashes the memory already, no need to do it again.

 

EDIT: you only need to clear the cmos after a failed BIOS update or if an overclock fails. If you have to, there should be a jumper on the motherboard that reads, clr cmos or something like that, you just move the jumper over, or you could try removing the battery that's on the motherboard but the jumper method is probably the easiest route

That's what I also thought. I mean, flashing the BIOS already cleans the slate anyway. Thanks for the information sir!
