    Was goofing around with XTU, and inadvertently saved memory settings clock multiplier to DDR4-2666, on DDR4-2400 memory, and now system won't POST. Tried Fn+D+Power to reset, and doesn't work. Anyone know how I can get to the CMOS battery so I can disconnect it for a couple of minutes?

    Found it, Battery case is under the 2 ribbon cables, connected to the mb on the left side. Managed to force a CMOS reset, and everything is working. :)

    Yeah the twisted red and black pair, the button cell should be visible making it easy to trace.
