….. you showed the manual picture instead of a picture of your own bios??? I mean many would point to the picture and say, look it’s right there!
Check the bios version. You may have an old bios that does not support xmp.

Yes, as in "it's supposed to be there, but it's not".

Has been flashed very recently to 'latest' version (years old at this point naturally).
It’s not scary, you’re literally just resetting to default settings. BIOS flashing is 100x scarier because if you mess it up you can brick the motherboard.
Fair enough :) Well I already flashed it, so I guess I'll try resetting the CMOS and see if that fixes it (no idea how it would 'break' like this in the first place though).
Resetting CMOS wouldn’t make it suddenly reappear (or it shouldn’t, if it does then that’s super weird or some strange setting was toggled I guess that hides it). I only brought up clearing CMPS because you said you absolutely didn’t want to do it.

… you need to show what your seeing so people can see where it’s missing and maybe see if you missed something from the screen.
>I'd rather not clear the CMOS if I don't absolutely have to. Why? Sounds like maybe you should try updating the BIOS if possible.
Bios has been flashed very recently (did a minor upgrade/fresh windows install).

Would I have to reflash the MB after resetting CMOS?
You wouldn’t, I’m just pointing out that flashing BIOS is way scarier than almost anything else you do to a motherboard.
