This board is misserable. Very sad buy from me.
I simply cant enter bios. It all started when i used newer DP cable which result was 5 beeps on 3 dp ports except one that was "working" except one thing , i couldnt enter bios. So i've googled a little and found all this stuff about some gpu's having firmware problems with certain dp cable versions so i've did the firmware upgrade from official nvidia utillity with basically no result because it says my firmware is latest. I've switched back to my previous cable which was working but apparently is not working anymore, iam not even mad any more because i dont have an energy to be , i lost all hopes with board, i have all versions of dp cables all versions of hdmi cable's and NONE of them is working, i cant enter the bios. So i've sold my rtx 3060ti , got 6800XT and the only change is that i can see windows gui booting ( literally just the circle) because before that it was point blank and at certain point the display went on with login screen but the thing is i cant enter bios STILL. I start the pc and for 10 seconds i see a simple blinking slash and it goes into boot, hell i even tried gt440 but it forced bios to go full legacy with "no bootable devices found " problem, like iam speechless. So next thing i did was buying simple 2.0 usb with hope it will maybe work if flash the bios with latest or previous version. The motherboard answer is "E4". I also renamed the bios to A579.bin ... still "E4".
Thank you one more time EVGA, especially the support which stop responding to me. Thank you evga for your awesome tech support , the "intel team" apparently is going monkey mode when it comes to different brand, i guess the amd bios is different universe and it can't be touched from anyone who works for intel boards. Also very nice price tag, definately worth almost 700 euro. ! Thank you evga, thank you.

Is this motherboard still in warranty? 
 
Are you in Europe, North America, or the Asian region?

Have you tried rebooting to UEFI from Windows using the built-in Windows option?  It's not uncommon to have issues getting into "BIOS" on first boot and needing to do it from Windows.

 I've did it, the firmware thing with rtx 3060 ti is still ridiculous but the bios has to be named "EVGAA579.bin". Reflashed all three bioses, this time its working with my 6800XT.
Glad i can enjoy my unlocked bios:

Most of the options are unlocked, clock and voltage lock for 5800x3d  is still there but i will figure out and then i will post the bios online but with bios info strings edited with my sign to protect evga for refunds for bricked boards.

Not exactly sure what you are doing, but in case there is a tested and usable BIOS you are working with, what platform can someone find you on regarding that?
Thanks

Hi agendarsky.
 
I am glad to hear you can get into the BIOS now. For responding to e-mails we have looked into it and some had large attachments to some of the e-mails. You can still e-mail in however to ensure there is no issues getting through try without any attachments and you can put large files on cloud services such as Google Drive or iCloud and send a public link for us to see the files.
