Bee_Dee_3_Dee isn't it a microcode patch ur hoping for; that Intel will provide and u urself will DL from the Intel site; and then run it from within Windows/ reboot/ after 1st setting BIOS to default... to update? Yes and no. Microcode updates are non-persistent, so they must be loaded every time the CPU boots up. That's why a BIOS update is the best way for them to be delivered. It can be done by Windows, but only very early in the startup process, generally not while the system is up and running. MS/Intel have pushed microcode updates in the past for security issues, but nobody knows yet if they'll do it for this instability/degradation problem. Previous examples here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb4093836-summary-of-intel-microcode-updates-08c99af2-075a-4e16-1ef1-5f6e4d8637c4

yep. mb i'm so old, when i saw the term " microcode"; i remembered things way back in 2006 days and before; and how it was easy to DL it from Intel site and run from floppy disk or run it within Windows because it was DOS days when RAM drives were created by executables when need be and pre-boot implementations could occur.

Intel just announced that they aren't issuing a recall...no surprise there.. I'll try in a week or two to maybe get an RMA from Intel and if EVGA doesn't mention any BIOS updates for this issue in the next couple of months, I'll probably buy a new board from a company with BIOS updates...

With the adaptive under-volt I've been running the whole time, I haven't seen my voltage run that high and I haven't had any stability issues with my 10/2022 13900k. It probably helps that I keep it quite cool, but I definitely did a few high power runs going for benchmark improvements, so I suppose I'm pretty lucky. Most of the time it games at 80-150W-max. I'm guessing that the rate of susceptible CPUs was up and down during the whole production run and Intel not doing a great job mandating or controlling voltages with motherboard partners didn't help, but maybe I got a lucky one. In any case, I have no hope for a BIOS update from EVGA (as they already said there wouldn't be another one), so I'm just going to leave well enough alone until there's an issue or something worth upgrading for comes out. I would have had to buy a new board for whatever that is anyway.

According to Tom's HW, Intel will not be pushing the fixed microcode via Windows Update. Absolutely horrible decision, basically planned obsolescence. Most people (aside from enthusiasts) don't know anything about BIOS updates, so their CPUs will just keep cooking themselves to death.

Hi, Please forgive my very late to the party. Is this BIOS 2.13 and those steps under "BIOS Installation Without CPU" applicable to a brand new Z690 DARK mobo (just with psu connected to the 24pin mobo and no other memory,cpu,ssd components installed) After this update/flash, I can installed the 13900K and boot ? Is there any other steps in between the flash and install the cpu that I must carry out ? Thanks

So.... Safe assumption this board isn't going to get the Intel microcode update to stop the 13900k degradation issues huh. My first EVGA board and what a disaster this has been.....

I've been running the z690 dark kingpin with a 13900k @ motherboard defaults for 1.7 years. My cpu is still working. I've been using bios 2.03 the entire time. Don't trip.

Hi, I follow the listed instruction and start the bios update, I think the process is failed. Basically after press the BIOS update button at the back of the IO panel, the POST LED start count down to C, then I release the button, the POST LED shows 13? or E1 (not sure how to attach image here) ? What should I do now ? Keep the mobo power on ? or Can power off and try again ?

After reading some posts here, I have reformat the usb into MBR and Fat32. And, I have changed the version to 2.10 instead of 2.13 due to some posts claiming that 2.13 may have problem to support RTX 4090. When I use the EVGAE699.bin name, I still got the E1 error, then clear the CMOS then power off. After this, I changed the file name to EVGAE690.bin, and proceed with the same update process, this time, I see the POST LED showing countdown in numbers with decimal, then stop at 1.5. I have changed back the filename to EVGAE699.bin, the same 1.5 code remain. What should I do now ?

I used the 5.5 ghz overclock present built into the board for 12+ months. Fast forward to this January/February and my PC would BOSD constantly. Ended up having to underclock the CPU to 5.2 ghz all core for it to be stable. Intel RMAed my CPU due to the degradation.... So I would like to prolong the replacement.

Try the process with 2.03, see if it will work and then you should be able to boot into BIOS. Once there, install 2.13 from within BIOS. I have some vague memory of this being an issue for a couple people.

All we can do right now seems to be undervolt (negative vCore offset, increase vDroop, etc.) and set a CPU power limit. Also might be worth opening a ticket with EVGA and asking directly. It's been a very long time since any employee has participated in this forum, so contacting support might be the best way to show interest in a potential update.

HI @B0baganoosh, thank you for your reply. I have followed your suggestion to use version 2.03 but still stuck at the 1.5 on the POST LED. This is the url "drive.google.com/file/d/1hc_lksBwlRBjBMewoV_C2MZFXHLH6RnE/view?usp=sharing" to my recording. The flashing at the end is actually the 1.5 but may be it is too fast hence you can see flashing. I have asked EVGA Tech support but have yet receive reply from them on this 1.5 issue.

As I recall, BIOS version 2.05 solved the E1 error for me. I remember when I first got the Z690 KP and I had 2 bad flashes that bricked BIOS chip 2 and 3. I was able to bring them back to life with BIOS version 2.05 and all 3 BIOS chips have been working fine since then.

Hi @RavenMaster, Currently what I am facing is not E1 but 1.5 on POST LED. For my knowledge purpose, may I know how you actually bring back the bricked BIOS chip with 2.05 ? Update bios to each of the bios chip 1,2,3 ? or just update bios 2.05 to one of them and the other 2 can automagically unbricked ?

Well, you put the USB stick with the BIOS update into the motherboard socket, boot into a BIOS that is working (in my case BIOS 1 was still functional). Once into the BIOS screen flip the BIOS switch on the motherboard to BIOS chip 2, then navigate to the flashing option in the menu and flash the BIOS. This unbrocked BIOS chip 2. I repeated the process to revive BIOS chip 3 also. If you're having trouble getting the motherboard to recognise a RTX 4090 or 4080 card, flash ur GPU BIOS with this Nvidia's update: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5411/?=&linkId=100000163736896

I can flash from the entire zoo of flash drives that I have, which is more than 10, from an old flash drive that has a volume of 4 GB. Nothing comes out of all the others. Dig in her direction.

try to flash the first BIOS version available for your motherboard. and then flash the version you want. I've corrupted BIOS on my 790 DKP a few times and was able to successfully recover by first flashing v1.03 and then the latest. I hope this helps. I also use a 4GB USB 2.0 drive

Thank you @yurasicpark74 and @0mnious for your reply. My usb is 32GB and formatted in FAT32 and also in MBR partition. A new development for this issue : After the tech support respond to the POST LED 1.5 issue, I have installed all other components i.e CPU (13900K), GPU (RTX 3090), RAM, SSD. When I boot up the system, and presss DEL, there is nothing show on the display, the POST LED in the 00 54 7F 59 loop. So, I took out all the power cable from the PSU except the 24 pin (as I do not want to take out all other installed components), and do the flash bios by following the "Update BIOS without CPU" procedure, with the same usb drive, this time I can see the circle flashing on the POST LED, my happiness end when I see the code E3 on the POST LED. What should I do now ? To uninstall all the components and do the flash again ? Or I can use other version (the version on the usb is 2.03) to update without uninstall components but take out all power cable except 24pin ? Or I should let all power cable connected and do the flash bios again ?

Did you try to do the pre-boot flash with everything installed?
Also, do you have an old 1-4 GB (or even smaller) USB stick you can try?

You need a flash drive with a maximum size of 4 GB. 32 GB is not suitable for flashing. First, find the flash drive. Then download the bios from the site. Rename the downloaded file to EVGAE699.bin and put it on a flash drive. And then everything according to the instructions.

Thank you @yurasicpark74, I have followed your suggestion, but I can only find an 8GB usb. Anyway, it works.

I don't know if this is some kind of quirk or bug in the EVGA 690 boards, but I have flashed 3 different BIOS's recently on my ASUS Z690 board using a 32GB USB 3.1 drive with no issue's.
