Not the case with Abit. So I put in all my goodies from the old Asus mobo, and flipped the switch. The system came online, I entered the BIOS and was presented with heavenly joy. Complete control of your CPU's functions from within a menu, what a great feature. I hate jumpers.
Jumpers are evil.
I know how to use jumpers, but they suck. Shut down the PC, move jumper, turn on PC, rinse, lather, and repeat. Naturally, being the overclocking kind of guy I am, I tinkered with things a bit, rebooted and had a nice black screen. That's not a good thing. A quick flip of the battery jumper and everything was back to the way it came to me.
