Hey all, I was wondering if anyone would have any recommended manual settings to get the 14900k to run at stock speeds? I've been reading the posts saying you need to manually set things as official bios support hasn't come out yet. My 14900k and Z790 Classy came in, excited to get it up and running.

I can't remember EVGA ever making a EOL or EOS announcement.  You get what they give you, on their schedule.  And if you never get what you are expecting, what they tease, all that happens is that people grumble a bit until time passes.

They kinda did it when they said they are no longer making any NVIDIA cards, but they released that info to media not like official announcement on website.
@mattman657 There are no settings so far that have been released that I know of.. I suggest you call EVGA and ask their support via phone since they don't post any info on forum regarding motherboards anymore.

Sure. Based on how I run my 13900k and what the 14900k specifications are, I would try this to get it running stock clocks correctly:
CPU Multiplier Control: Manual - RatioLimit
CPU Multiplier Setting: 60
1 Core Ratio Limit: 60
2 Core Ratio Limit: 60
3 Core Ratio Limit: 56
4 Core Ratio Limit: 56
5 Core Ratio Limit: 56
6 Core Ratio Limit: 56
7 Core Ratio Limit: 56
8 Core Ratio Limit: 56
Ring Ratio: Auto
(I have AVX2 Ratio offset at 3 and AVX512 Ratio Offset at 0...I think those are default)
 
Atom Ratio Control:
Atom Multiplier Control: Manual - RatioLimit
Atom Multiplier Setting: 44 (all ratios 44, voltage auto)
 
You can start here. Based on how these boards run, I would set FLL Override to Mode 1, Vcore Vdroop to -75% - Min Droop, and VCore PWM to 600.
 
As for voltage, you have a few options. You can start with VCore on auto. Do some temperature testing. See where things shake out. If it is running a bit hot, you can either go into the V/F Control menu and start putting negative offsets in for the 5400 and 5700 points. I'd start with -25, test stability and performance, work towards -40. You'll want to test single core and multi-core when doing stability tests with that. You can also leave the V/F Control points alone and change the main VCore setting to Override. Then try to lock in a specific voltage. You'd have to do some trial and error there to check stability. 
 
If you want to go beyond the "stock" clocks, I am betting you can run your e-cores up to 46x and you can almost definitely boost your 3-6 core ratios up to 58x. If you have good cooling, you may also be able to do 58x all the way up to 8 cores and 60x on more than 2. The benefit beyond 56 on all-core will likely only be seen in benchmarks. It's the lower threaded boosts to 6GHz that help the most with gaming. If it were me, I'd try to get 1-4 to boost to 60x, then do 59, 58, 57, 56 from 5-8 cores and see how performance and heat are with my e-cores at 45x or 46x. Override voltage control is the best way to minimize power draw while doing all-core overclocking, but it can be a bit limiting in your ability to boost individual cores higher. So if you were looking for 61x or even trying 62x 1-2 cores, it would be hard to do that with an override under-volt that minimizes all-core power. If you don't care about those individual boosts, it's a great way to drop temps while keeping an all-core overclock.

 Maybe (just a suggestion) we could also get Vince KINGPIN to mention his stock settings and above average settings for 14900K? I know you had access to his FB posts ....

It's just the best chance people have to get their hardware up and running until a new BIOS is provided.

i would not bet on it, just keep/buy 13th gen, 14th gen is a joke anyways, it is no new gen actually.

 
I have 13th gen, not upgrading to 14th. Read the OP. They were asking for help from people who have this board on some settings they can try to get the 14th gen CPU they already bought to work on these boards. That's all this is here for. It has been well discussed on pretty much every thread that 14900k is basically a highly-binned 13900k. We know.
 
Also, in no post here has anybody advocated that you or anybody else should go out and buy 14900k, especially if you already have 13th gen. I'm really confused as to with who or why you're trying to have an argument.

A6 likely just means that the board is waiting for input from you post POST to proceed. Usually it is shown when you are on the Checksum error screen and the BIOS has been cleared.
All new BIOSes show Checksum error by default. It sounds more likely that the card is not displaying at POST (it may have failed in Port Royal).
If you press F1, the board may change over to showing CPU temps on the POST Code screen.
I would recommend draining the loop and doing more testing.

I do have one question about XMPs. I see XMP#1 showing the correct profile, but I see an XMP#2 Not supported. Unsure if the number 2 is referring to my 2nd stick of ram, or if it literally means there just isn't an additional XMP profile.
 
Gonna get Windows 11 installed, then will work on getting the base clocks going.

XMP2 - that is about the second timing profile for all the RAM
