I can't figure out where is the CMOS battery located on this board? The board holds CMOS settings when without power. There is no external CMOS battery header. The best guess i have is the big black "ODIN" chip. Is that the battery? Is it some weird combo of battery + clock circuit all packaged together? If yes, how do you replace it when the battery inside dies?

Thank you.

That is the infamous Dallas chip. Google it and prepare your soldering iron.

Is this too much voodoo?
