I did submit the question to tech support. I forgot to ask if it was possible to downgrade back to 3.30

Anybody know that answer?

It never hurts to spare some 5 minutes and drop them a line on their official tech support channel as well.

As Xaltar said, getting answered by ASRock officials here is very, very rare.

I was just coming here to ask the same questions, so hopefully someobody from ASRock can provide some details on the two options.

More likely a windows update, not everything is tied to the UEFI Wink

Anyways, I wish we would get more info when newer bios are released, like what changes were made, and if there are new options, explanation on what they do and how to use them.

Join the club but this is a common trend with all manufacturers. 

It is nice to see AGESA maturing more now and stability starting to become more of a focus than RAM frequency. I suspect it will be a while still before it settles to the point where we are used to with older generations and intel but at least I feel like we are going in the right direction now Confused

As far as I've noticed, if u use AMD switch, OC settins for CPU disappear. If you use ASRock switch, you can OC your CPU. Thing is, there is no RAM OC option on the same page, where there was with 3.30 (haven't checked with 3.40, cuz I've updated to 4.40 right after I did to 3.40). What I've managed now is to OC my Ryzen 3 1200 to 4 GHz @ 1.4V. Haven't been able to OC it above 3.9GHz before. So far it is stable at 4GHz when gaming and all, temps also fine. Will check it out more. What I've also noticed is that when u overclock CPU with 4.40 bios, CPU-Z and similar software will show CPU is OC'ed, but when you go "Control Panel/System and Security/System" (right click on My Computer > properties), it is showing your CPU default clock speed (3.1 GHz in my case). Probably a bug, which I hope gets fixed with next bios update.

Anyways, I wish we would get more info when newer bios are released, like what changes were made, and if there are new options, explanation on what they do and how to use them.

It's anyone's guess right now. Ouch

IDK if mods can request additional info, though.

Just updated to BIOS 4.40 and noticed a new item in the OC Tweak menu. Don't have a clue what "OC Mode Change Switch" is. Any enlightenment would be appreciated. Tried looking it up, but it's a no go. Thank you.
