Moving to the X299 dark, what do I do if the bios is not updated? Be using a 10920X, hated ryzen and coming back lol.
According to EVGA you should still be able to boot the system with the 10 series cpu, all features might not work correctly though until the newest bios are flashed.

*SKX-Refresh CPUs are supported with earlier BIOS versions, but recommended to update to 1.12 for best stability/overclock potential**Cascade Lake-X CPUs can boot into the BIOS with older BIOS versions, but will not function properly until updated to at least version 1.19
