Some updates and bug fixes.
 
BIOS 1.08 (E799 DARK K|NGP|N)
  • Fixes issue where ASMedia SATA port doesn't work on BIOS v1.07.
  • Adds memory timing RCD_WR for performance tuning.
BIOS 1.05 (E799 CLASSIFIED)
  • Improves memory OC ability and performance
  • Adds memory timing RCD_WR for performance tuning.
  • Fixes issue where some software may cause DIMM changed detection.
  • Fixes CPU Ring control issue.
  • Adds support for AMD EXPO modules.
  • Supports more Vcore V/F points.
  • Supports Smart Fan control via ELEET X1
 
​
Windows Installation
  • Download the correct .zip file below for your motherboard:        
         121-AL-E799-KR - EVGA Z790 DARK K|NGP|N - v1.08
         121-AL-E798-KR - EVGA Z790 CLASSIFIED - v1.05     
  • First go into your BIOS and load defaults, save and exit
  • Close all open programs.
  • Go into the folder where you unzipped this package and double-click update.bat
  • Press Y to start the flash process
  • DO NOT TURN OFF POWER OR RESET DURING THE FLASH PROCESS
  • After the flash is finished, the system will automatically shut down. Power on the system again and go into BIOS and adjust settings as needed.
  • NOTE: If flash box immediately closes after flash attempt, the flash may need to be run from a CMD prompt with administrator privileges or DOS version.
  
BIOS Installation within BIOS

  • Extract the contents of .zip file to USB flash drive (must be formatted as FAT32)
  • Reboot the machine and go into the system BIOS
  • From the BIOS, navigate to the EXTRAS tab at the upper left and click on "BIOS Update"
  • Select the .bin file you wish to flash.
 
BIOS Installation Without CPU

  • Extract the contents of .zip file to USB flash drive (must be formatted as FAT32)
  • Rename the file "EVGAE7XX.bin", where XX is the last two digits of the part number (e.g. Z790 DARK K|NGP|N should be EVGAE799.bin)
  • Install the USB flash drive into the USB Type-A port on the motherboard.
  • Make sure to connect the 24pin power connector from your power supply to the motherboard. 
  • Switch on the power supply, if it is not already on.
  • Hold the BIOS Update button on the rear I/O for approximately 2 seconds until the flash begins (the cursor on the POST LED will begin cycling)
  • The BIOS update may take approximately 5-7 minutes to complete.  When done, the board will restart.
  • Complete the rest of your build at this point to confirm a successful flash.
 
Please let me know if anyone runs into problems with this update.  Thanks!
 
Also, earlier BIOS files for each board can be found on our Download Center.

    1.08 has a bug where you have to save and restart twice to get things to stick. Entering changes twice.

    tell me why I can load my stable memory overclocks from a USB save and tests fails,  just to load the same exact profile and have it pass?  memtest 86 and testmem5 absolute pass.  possible the memory isn't training consistently?

    Turns out I accidentally flashed 1.07 which is still beta and caused the issue with not booting even after hot flash. Using 1.05 on classified works great. Looking forward to when 1.07 is fixed and released for classified.
