The easiest way to do so is to save your settings as a profile. Load the optimized defaults and then load your profile. Before exiting the BIOS, a window will appear with a summary of all the settings changed by your profile. What you do is save the screenshot to a USB pendrive and you're done. Sure beats writing everything down on a piece of paper.

For the people with ROG Hero Alpha 8 who updated to 2202, how did you flash? Via EZflash within the bios or USB BIOS flashback.
I get a reading file error when I try to flash on my mb and the online bios update says 1902 is the latest.

EZFlash. I never use online option to flash bios because it introduces unnecessery risks. I rename the bios file and copy it to the root of the system drive, then select it from the bios and flash it. I do not clear cmos or load optimal values before or after flashing new bios. When updated bios is up and running I just enter new values for bios parameters (it really takes less than a minute). Never failed a flash (except intentionally for training purposes).
For those with XMP problems, I suggest following:Disable Fast Boot
Disable MRC fast boot
Disable MCH Full Check
Set System Agent Boot Voltage to 1.2V
Set VCCIO Boot Voltage to 1.2V
Try with Maximus Tweak 1 and 2. I have encountered memory sets that work on 2 but not 1 and the other way around.
Check that primary memory timings are actually what they should be according to SPD. Check that DRAM voltage is really at least 1.35V.

You sir, nailed it. After tinkering around, it was MODE 2 what brought XMP back to life. I'm lacking some benchmark and testing, but it works and boots fine. Thank you sooo much. As a wise Admiral once said: -I look out there on you wonderful guy and I say to myself "What I wouldn't give to be 20 years younger... and a woman";);)
Now, being serious again, I cannot understand why this AUTO setting is not clearly working. It should automatically select the best working mode, isn't it?.
Please ASUS, now that it seems that the problem is located, fix this on the next release.

Hardware varies from one user to another so it's hard for the motherboard to always get it right. For most users, the AUTO setting works fine. If not, then user intervention is required.
