before I update the bios on my asus maximus viii hero motherboard can I clear the cmos from within the bios settings? also I'm currently overclocked, so would I have to clear the cmos to update the bios? and does the pc have to be off to push the clear cmos button on the motherboard? or can I clear cmos from inside the bios?
