Buying a CMOS

[athlon3400]

Does anyone know of anywhere that sells CMOS chips, the chip on my DFI lanparty ultra B was fried.

Contact DFI directly, or contact Angry_Games at DFI-Street.com. I think his name is Tracy, but he or RGone are reps for the company. Good luck, they were in short supply for a while, and may still be.

Its a BIOS chip and your lucky, I've got one for sale

[pet peeve]You mean BIOS chip. The CMOS chip is soldered to the motherboard, and requires battery backup to save information. The BIOS chip is socketed, easily replaceable, and does not require battery backup to save information.[/pet peeve]

You might try reading the numbers from your present BIOS chip, and doing a Google search to find a vendor. Might save both time and money.

As far as I know just a normal Duracell Coin Cell battery from CVS will work.
