:I appended an "Assembled" Photo in the references section when I wrote the article. I'm somewhat new to writing wiki's so I wasn't quite too sure where/ how to append such information. But any included examples of a specific mainboard is also sort of missing the greater point, which is that the '''entire current product lineup''' from MSI has this hardware configuration. It's not just the Z890 board, it's ALL of them.

Each motherboard model seems to have a unique and specific "hiding location" for the CMOS battery. All the manual entries list "This product contains an Irreplaceable Battery" but the exact obfuscation/location of the battery varies from model to model. Most of the high end boards * MAG and MPG * seem to have it located underneath the VRM Heatsink. Others seem to have it buried under heatsinks on other board locations. I don't have the resources, nor patience to hunt down the battery placement board-by-board. There are some models that contain this text in the manual that have overtly displayed CR2032 batteries in the product promotion images, like normal boards ought to. I very much doubt anyone really cares enough to help out, but, on the off chance they do. Thank you very much.
