  • In this video, I tested a question that I was asking myself, what would exactly happen if you removed a CMOS battery from a running PC. So to test this out, we put it to the test by pulling the CMOS battery out of our test bench while it was running windows. We found that you really won't be affected by this change however we don't recommend ever trying this as you could easily damage your motherboard. Let us know what we should try next in the comments down below.

    Anyone who succeeds in dropping their battery on the motherboard and damaging it somehow isn’t even technically savvy to find the CMOS battery in the first place lmao

    Dont CMOS Batteries only work when the PC isnt plugged in? Which would mean even if you restarted it nothing would change

      As soon as the power is off to the mb setings to made to the bios wil reset to defoult .... Its comon to reset bios this way when u make error moves and set some incorect setings to your bios resulting on unstable startups or completly freazes on powering on PC

      Doubt it, When your power is off, PSU stops supplying any Power, You can test it with a multimeter,

      You are right. The cmos is powered by the 5vsb supply in the psu. My psu cansupply up to 3 amps in standby

    No it wouldn't, until you really cut the power. If the the PC is just shutdown, then nothing happens, the motherboard needs to not get any power for about 5-10seconds, before the bios actually resets.

  • @tqrules01
    @tqrules01 Год назад +7

    As long as your PSU is supplying power to the motherboard nothing will happen. Only if you completely drain the capacitors by turning everything off unplugging it from the wall and hitting the power button a few times to drain every but of juice. Only then will your mobo need that CMOS battery

    hmm, i've been taught that the BIOS is stored in ROM, which is non-volatile (retains data after power loss) ans that the CMOS just stores user data for the BIOS (like profiles, clock, etc). so realistically, wouldn't it affect the clock and maybe some overclocking features?

      I recently replaced my cmos battery. And now 5-10 mins into startup i’m getting BSOD. I’m sure it’s likely a super easy fix. Probs a BIOS setting. I just dont know what that fix is…

    So what happens if the cmos battery function is integrated with a laptop battery that may be defective?
    So far it has showcased an infinite boot and automatic repair loop, and recently added a triggered bitlocker to the mix.
    I unlock bitlocker and it start bootloop/autorepair cycle before telling me bitlocker is triggered again

    Isn’t that when you are supposed to replace them so nothing is lost due to lack of power? If you are afraid of dropping the battery, place a paper towel over the area around the slot, replaced said battery, remove the paper towel. 😂
