ROG Strix z370E is trying to find the BIOS chip for replacement but can't locate it anywhere. Someone might know? I was updating Windows and after rebooting, the system froze and showed an error code F1, which led to the machine failing completely. I'm having trouble posting now since I can't get to it.

Typically the bios chip is located near the cmos battery

Yeah but not on this board. Got a new chip and don't see a thing like it on the board. Don't see anything that isn't soldered in. Unless it's under a heat shield somewhere. Already pulled the GPU but no luck.

It looks like a tiny piece, already attached with solder.

It could be typical for you, but it might not be usual. I'm not sure.

These are the CLRTC connections. I'm not sure about the bios chip.
