Where's the CLRTC Header on My Asus TUF Gaming B850M Plus Wifi?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to locate the CLRTC header on my Asus TUF Gaming B850M Plus Wifi motherboard. I believe it should be a 2-pin header, but I'm a bit confused. I've attached an image to help with the identification: https://imgur.com/a/uwkDhbc. Thanks for any help!

You want to look at the top left grouping of four headers. The two pins for the CLRTC (clear CMOS) are the first two on the left. Just short them to clear the CMOS. Quick question though, are you trying to reset because something's wrong, like boot issues? Maybe your board has a dedicated CMOS reset button on the rear IO?

TechWiz42: Thanks for the tip! My PC isn't booting, and the yellow Q LED is on, indicating a DRAM issue. I was trying to fix a bent socket pin and reassemble everything. Before this, I encountered multiple errors related to hypervisor settings and Nvidia drivers. That's why I thought resetting the CMOS might help. Any other ideas?
