:I got a MSI mobo so I checked inside my case to see if its CMOS battery be hidden. Couldn't find it so did a model number search and on their site they had pictures. The CMOS battery is hidden on mine, but behind the GPU (lol). Granted its a 2023 board so not "current". Product images could be a way we can identify which boards have obfuscated CMOS batts.

::actually my board's much older I just bought it on 2023. regardless I took a glance at their current selection and noticed a lot of them use cover plates that may or may not hide the CR2032. checking images is a manual process but checking manuals can be automated. under the "Overview of Components" section in the PDF they showcase a "battery" in a CR2032-like enclosure or just a circular battery icon. out of the first 6 boards from the [https://us.msi.com/Motherboards/Products#?tag=MAG-Series MAG series] half of them show the use of a battery.
