I posted about a bug where flashback does not update the microcode(note this is on z590 Apex). Possibly related to that?
To update the microcode you need to be in UEFI and use EZ flash.

So is there only 1 XOC bios for the ATX version of unify?
I only managed to achieve 4200c16 with 4 sticks of t-force 4500 mem with very high voltages, though 2 sticks can run 4700c19 and higher, even for the daisy chain the difference is too high.
Also 1t doesn't work even on 3700mhz with any timings. Being pretty upset with this mobo. Could've buy z490 elite.I think I should swap 4 single to 2 dual dimms.
I have ran 4400c17 using the newer gskill 4000c15 4x8 kit(did not do any long term stability tests). I have not tried the 2x8 Team kits I have in 4x8 on the Unify.
I also have Team 8Pack 3600c18 2x16 and it will run 4600c17-c18 for benches I haven't tried to get it stable for daily as the voltages need to be much higher so I am settling on 4400c18-19-19-39-360-655535 for now as it will be a setup for someone else so reliability is more of a priority than every last bit of performance and so far 4400c18 1.4v dim 1.3io, 1.4sa is easy to get stable with 2x16gb.
I also had a z490 Hero and I couldn't get past 4000 on 4x8 and 4133 on 2x16and be stable. Supposedly the newer gskill 2x16 kits(new PCB?)are easier to get in the 4400-4500 on z490.

I am having trouble using the other bios. I pressed the bios select switch and then the bios led indicator will switch positions right? In my case, when I press start, it's not even booting. I have also tried with the bios flashback, but it still does not turn on on the second bios. Anything I'm doing wrong?
Have you tried loading defaults in the bios, exit and shutdown and then use it?
Or pressing the CLEAR CMOS on the back of the MB/with power off. Then power back on and hit the bios select and it should change and then press start to boot. If that doesn't work someone is wrong with your board.
I know there is some setting that if you change in the bios it won't let the bios select button work that is why I usually just do the 2nd method I listed if I want to change between each bios.

Has anyone compared just setting PPD 0 and then compare with changing the setting TXP? I have and I see no difference. The only time I see a difference is when I set TXP down without setting PPD to 0. I am just using Aida64 to test so maybe it effect other benchmarks when both are set.
I just remembered seeing another person also found the same. That TXP does nothing, when PPD is 0. "*txp 3 does bupkus" https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?118328-Asus-Z490-stuff/page16#post810810

Do you have it disabled in the bios? I have an Apex and it doesn't install anything if I disable Armoury Crate in the bios. It is set to enabled if left on default. It is under Tool on the Apex.

@GtiJason What I posted about Flashback not updating the microcode was on a z590 Apex. It may work on z490, I have a z490 Apex but never paid attention. I just happened to notice it with the z590 Apex. Unless someone else posted about z490 not updating the microcode using Flashback then disregard what I said
Edit I just tested using Flashback on z490 Apex and it does update the microcode. I was on 2103 MC E2 and used Flashback with bios 403 and it changed MC to E0. So maybe it is just a bug with z590 Apex or it may depend if 11 gen CPU is installed. I currently have 10700k in z490 Apex.
When I had the issue in z590 Apex and Flashback not updating the MC I had 11900k installed. I am not going to remove the 11900k to test with 10700k in the z590 Asus can figure it out if they want.
