Here, three to test, one same as before but with a single AMIBCP change, two same as previous BIOS but with OCP menu added into AMITSE. After these, to FPT Flash, you may need to use setup_var again before next round of tests, to disable BIOS Lock/FPRR. In the rest following shortly, I've disabled all that in NVRAM so should be disabled from then on out, unless BIOS lock also needs disabled in setup (you'll get error 368 if this is the case)
Please test in this order
OCPMTest2
OCPMTest2AMITAdd
OCPMTest2AMITAdd2

Check BIOS for either new Overclocking Performance menu by itself, or within advanced possibly but I think it should be it's own new menu section once it appears. Like this

Ok and I do all this with the FPTw.exe commands? Thank you very much by the way.
Edit NVM going through OCPMTest2AMITAdd.bin right now, the first one didn't work.

You're welcome. Yes, you can flash each via FPT, but you'll have to disable BIOS lock and FPRR again in grub between each test for the above files.
Or, you can test this BIOS first, it's same as OCPMTest2AMITAdd2 but has all this changed in NVRAM and StdDefaults too + BIOS Lock and FPRR disabled in there as well (except BIOS lock in setup remains at default, in case it conflicts with other changes, if you get error 368 trying FPT after this, then we know I need to disable in setup module as well).

If you test this one first, and nothing new, please go back and test the others because I do need to know result from those and intended them to be tested first (especially if you test this first and it fails)

Ok so the second one worked and I see this!

Nice!!! Please tell me the name of the BIOS that worked, thanks! Now, the rest will be much easier to sort out, few tests about "Chipset" menu and getting that added, then swap advanced, boot, save and exit and away we go
Please now go ahead and flash in that last BIOS I sent in post 29 and let me know if all is still same/OK. Because if it is, then this one has all the BIOS lock and FPRR disabled by default, I think, except unsure about BIOS lock if you get 368 error let me know. Flash #29 BIOS, then reboot back into windows after checking out BIOS, and try to FPT flash again without using grub and see if you get any error or not.

Ok so I tried to flash that bios in EZ Flash utility like an idiot and it said it wasn't a valid bios, but I did it the FPTw.exe way and everything went nice and smooth. Rebooted back into bios and I still have the OC Menu, booted back up into windows and renamed my old biosreg.bin to originalbios.bin just incase anything ever went wrong and proceeded to flash a new biosreg.bin. It flashed without and problem and I was able to use FPTw.exe -bios -f biosreg.bin and it ran without a hitch. I have attached a screenshot of the success.

Yes, EZ Flash will never work for any mod BIOS, you always have to use FPT or other methods with mod BIOS.
Please confirm, this one was first one that showed you the OC Menu correct >> OCPMTest2AMITAdd (not OCPMTest2AMITAdd2)
Thank you for new FPT dump, and for letting me know you can now FPT flash without error or having to use grub/setup_var.
Next up, chipset test!
Crapola! I just remembered, since we had to add this menu in this manner, it took up the only "additional" entry line in AMITSE for another menu. So I cannot add Chipset, unless you loose some other menu such as security. Rest I will be swapping, orig advanced for hidden one, orig boot for hidden one etc. Do you use "Security" page or any settings inside it? If yes, look in AMIBCP with your latest FPT dump and see if the optimal setting for what you use is set how you want it, if not tell me what you want it set to, that way by default it's set to the correct thing when I hide that menu.

I don't use security for anything, the only thing I changed in that tab was what you told me to change so I could remove secure boot. Yes it was OCPMTest2AMITAdd.bin

Remove secure boot, what exactly do you mean? I checked and secure boot is disabled by default.

Maybe it wasnt secure boot. I don't use anything in the security tab honestly. If I did switch anything in there it only would have been because you told me to change something in it.
