So I received another email from Asus (below) they are obviously avoiding my question about getting an updated bios with MSR OxE2 unlocked...

I saw that post about unlocking Asus board. Does not work ..I downloaded the Bios for the Dominus extreme, downloaded the UEFITool created by Coderush. Bios is not recognized...cannot patch it.
You can maybe use the Xcpm patch created Pike / PMHeart but it needs to be updated regularly...with almost every os update..too many factors IMO.
Never give up, Never surrender
It looks like only values in static XCPM arrays need to be patched. They should not change often. Coderush showed the code for 0xE2 lock on a Gigabyte board here,
https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com/2015/10/20/new-gigabyte-motherboard-are-msr0x2e-locked/ . Good luck GUID hunting.
This is where Dominus extreme BIOS 0601 locks 0xE2
