i own a maximus 7 hero. I screwed up my bios settings and i want to clear cmos but first, do i need to switch my psu off and unplug it. second, does unplugging all power from psu and clearing cmos essentially do the same thing?

whoops i dont think i was clear in my post. my motherboard comes with the button to clear cmos. I know that you require to unplug psu when taking the battery out but i was curious whether the same procedure is needed when using the cmos button
