Just a quick question, is it bad to hit the clear cmos button while the computer is on, and what is the worse thing that can happen?
How should it be used.

I know what it does and everything, just want to know the specifics.

Just popped into my head and I was wondering.

It would reset the UEFI, and the computer would restart. I did it once while plugging in a USB device and that's all that happened.

Thanks, so it wont kill the bios chip or anything? I had seen people talking about how horrible it would be if someone ever accidentally hit the button while booted.
