The location of the CMOS chip will vary depending on the model and manufacturer of the motherboard. Usually, the CMOS chip is located on a small blue or orange square chip on the motherboard, which is marked with the word \"CMOS\" and is used to store the BIOS Settings information of the motherboard.
On some motherboards, the CMOS chip may be encased in a plastic or metal case. If you need to reset your motherboard Settings by clearing CMOS, then you need to find the location of the CMOS chip, usually in the following way:
1. Turn off the computer and unplug it.
2. Open the computer case and locate the motherboard. CMOS chips are usually placed on the edge or center of the motherboard, but this may vary on some models.
3. If you are not sure where the chip is located, consult the motherboard manual.
4. If you can find a CMOS chip, there will be a silk screen or mark near the chip, usually with the word \"CMOS\" on it.
The CMOS chip is usually located on the motherboard near the battery, and is usually a small square chip, usually covered with a metal shell. On some motherboards, CMOS chips may be placed in other locations, depending on the design and manufacturer of the motherboard. If you are unsure of the location of the CMOS chip, you can consult the motherboard's manual or search for information online. However, before replacing or removing the CMOS chip, be sure to power off and remove the power cord to avoid damaging the motherboard or other computer hardware.
The BIOS (basic input\/output system) is usually written in a ROM chip. It's usually eight pins. Generally located near the south bridge of the motherboard, there will be a button battery next to it, and the motherboard will also be marked with BIOS words or labels.

The BIOS program is stored in a read-only memory on the motherboard and does not require power to keep data from being lost.

CMOS is the result of the BIOS setup, which is stored in the memory integrated within the Southbridge chip and requires uninterrupted power supply to keep its data from being lost.
In general, on the motherboard, the chip with the highest pin is the bios chip, not far from the cmos battery.
