You use the 3 Pin Jumper marked CLRTC.

the 4 Pin is a Chassis Jumper.
Looking at the image you posted, the CLRTC is teh Jumper on Top.

So, Battery, Chassis 4 Pin, CLRTC 3 Pin.

If you have a way, you should also look at the voltage levels coming though the PCI-E Slot. ( And Also Check the CMOS.)

Usually when Upgrading the CLR CMos Switch/Button/Jumper is a required procedure.

Write down settings (especially memory timings), clr the CMOS, boot, re-input timings.

When you upgrade GPUs, Ram etc, because the CMOS may contain PCIe timings that may not work for other devices on that hardware address.

Also, Check Primary Display Adapter = PCIE (Options are Onboard, PCI, PCIE) (depending on BIOS Version.)
I've had alot of friends that set PCI by accident. or See PCI and not think about checking/changing it to PCIE.




Hope this helps.

My BIOS is set to PCI E and not PCI for primary display adapter. Is there anyway in the BIOS to look at voltage levels coming through the PCI E?

And is there anyway to export and reimport BIOS settings (I recall there being a function), or would that negate and positive affect of clearing the CMOS?

if you dont have custom ram timings.

Clr the CMOS, Boot, Tell it to load Optimized/defaults.

adjust Boot Drive sequence if needed, set onboard to auto, set inti first to PCI-E, Shut down, take out 560ti, re-seat 560ti, reconnect power cables boot.
