@Reinvented: Wrong. I'm experienced enough, and if you knew more about me, you'd know this.
Second, It'd be a simple feat to store these tweaks in a non-binary format, and add logic to the loading function to ignore any incompatible settings. I also know this, as a software developer and reverse-engineer of 22 years (probably longer than you are old.) FTR, I hex edited the saved .bin, changing the version number to the most recent, then loaded it up. Worked great.

They don't need to fix that. BIOS revisions will change stuff, and change stability. Having to re-tweak is necessary. No motherboard manufacturer does this at all either because you can easily corrupt settings and lose stability. If you can't be bothered to re-input your stuff then you aren't experienced enough to be messing with it in the first place.

@datonyb, ahhhhhh man, if that's true ASRock REALLY needs to fix that.... so not cool to make it's users manually re-add a hundred tweaks each BIOS update...

I have a ASRock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming X
I painstakingly tweak tons of settings in it while overclocking; then I need to do a BIOS firmware update ...
... *boom*, the settings file is now invisible, and therefore impossible to load back into the BIOS. Even putting an asterisk (*) as the file name and pressing Enter, or *.* and pressing Enter doesn't force the file to be visible. When I view the USB stick within Windows, I can see the .bin file just fine; it's strictly not visible within the BIOS' file explorer while trying to load it. This is on the latest 4.80, and I've had this same issue with previous versions. I emailed ASRock support once asking about it, and of course, got ZERO reply. It's impossible for me to remember all of these tweaks, and maddening to try and go through and constantly (try to) manually restore them one-by-one after every BIOS upgrade. WTF ASRock?? Anyone know what's up?
