So, on my 680i LT I remember seeing a small blue cap that covered 2 pins. Somehow that cap has gone missing and I am now receiving a cmos checksum error during post. I read it could be a bad cmos battery, so I ordered a new one since it was only $2 and mine is about 4 years old anyways. While I am still waiting for that in the mail, I was just wondering if I have to have that cap on pins 2 and 3 for the bios to load properly? Right now they reload to default every time. If so, where could I find a replacement cap?
Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but my rear case fan keeps going out and I have to restart multiple times to get it to start up again. It does work when I power it from anywhere else on the mb though...Any ideas?
Thanks guys!
