Question on reset cmos on evga x58

my pc always hangs up at the motherboard logo, so i try reseting the cmos, i turn off the computer but power supply was running ( evga logo is flashing ) so i press the reset cmos at the back of the for a few sec, turn on my pc and i think everything went fine..
my question is did i do it in the right way? thanks
Answer #1
If the board has a clear cmos switch or button then that’s fine.
I remember my Abit IN9-32X MAX motherboard was the first board i had with such a feature. For good reason because you were always pressing the thing when overclocking lol such a problematic board. R.I.P ABIT motherboards.

Well you might just get away with it…The proper way is to shut of the power completely before resetting the bios..
