Did you look at my post above? You must do both. That pic is from a standard ASUS manual. THe reason for pulling the battery is you are shorting the battery when you are shorting the circuit. WHen the jumper is removed, the battery is out of the loop. SHort the circuit and you short everything. Might be a good way to get your battery to fail and leak all over your nice motherboard.

No, you do not short the battery, the battery will be a part of an open cirquit and there is no current flow though it, at all. the Battery will be on a completely diferent cirquit from the rest of the motherboard at that point. The only reason there is a battery at all is to keep some current flowing through the cmos chip when there are power outages and such. removing the battery and the jumper at the same time is redundant, the reason manuals recomend you do that is to make sure that the bios information is reset in all cases, even when something conductive connects the two pins after jumper removal, occasionaly some fine dust can do that, have personal experiences with that. Allso overclocking has be bearing on the battery's life or health in any way, because the cmos chip will allways run at its stock specification, for there to be any chanse of damage to the battery there would need to be a catastrophic failioure of the power citquitry as a whole which would destroy nigh on every other component on the motherboard, leaving the damaged batery to be a non issue.
