This does not matter. If the VR triggers OCP it triggers OCP, no matter of a newly updated BMC. Issue can be that your BMC somehow can not trigger VR. If I'm not mistaken, if you are unable to process a full regular power cycle, this issue will persist. Or change some ACPI settings in the BIOS for power loss
the contents of BMC flash chip is not just completely overwritten by FW update. some block with unique conf. data is left unchanged, and if this area is corrupted only a re-flash of the whole chip can help.
edit: i do not say this is the case. if you play further with that system you may brick your CPU, who knows.

No only same boards as you have or SM H11 or H12. My Gigabyte boards work flawless. Will send you an email.
EDIT: Btw ... I have not very nice experience with Asrock Rack boards. But your miles may .....
if you can run ipmitool from same host (not remote LAN) you should able to reset PW.
ipmitool has to run *on* that host, of course you can connect from any other host e.g. via ssh.

try this.
Configuring IPMI under Linux using ipmitool - Thomas-Krenn-Wiki-en
Under Linux, the ipmitool command (http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net/) can be used for configuring IPMI for a server.
I think I managed something now. But when I type in
Sudo ipmitool user list
It shows invalid data field in request
When I type
Sudo ipmitool user set Password „newpassword“
It says either invalid or out of range User IF is limited to range <1..63>
No matter how long and what password i choose

But an other problem accrued now. I wanted to update the BMC firmware as well as the Bios now through the web gui. I can uploaded the files and it tells me update in progress and during the update I can not acces. So far so good. But after the update if I look into the firmware and bios infos, they both are still the same old Firmware! What went wrong? Why does it not update?
this is updated after complete re-boot by BIOS(CPU required)
have you read the BIOS update readme.txt ? many GB BIOS must updated by DOS/EFI not, don't work with BMCWebGUI.
LOL. and you wonder nothign was updated ?
what GB mobo do you have ? OEM Firmware ?
