the bios update for the motherboard  EVGA 790i FTW SLI Motherboard (part number 132-YW-E179-   ) is incorrect . on the same page there are download links for the 780i but the links for the 790i are the same as the 780i

It's on the Download Page, and correct..SZ17 is the latest/last one.
 
Motherboard tab -> nForce 790i SLI -> 132-YW-E179 nForce 790i SLI FTW -> BIOS
 
132-YW-E178 is a 780i FTW..The 132-YW-E179 is a 790i FTW..And the downloads are different.
 
SZ17.exe is what's there for the 790i FTW.
SZ17.iso if you want the .iso file that's not shown for the 790i FTW, but still on the EVGA servers.

I thank you for that, I was attempting from a different page, also I was looking for the file e179SZ17.bin because I dont have a cd/dvd rom that works nor a floppy drive, but I do have the Nforce system tools update utility , I was hoping to use the bin file to do this.
 
The page that I was trying to get it from where it has the wrong files was at 
h t t p s : //forums.evga.com/EVGA-790i-Series-FTW-FTW-Digital-Latest-BIOS-m122.aspx
 
It showed the e179s17.bin file there but it downloads the bin file for the 780i

is it possible to use a virtual drive to install the iso? 
And I really appreciate all your help

Yeah, that E179SZ17.bin link on that page is borked and downloads the E180DZ19.bin for the 790i FTW Digital instead.
 
The SZ17.bin for the 790i FTW is still on the EVGA servers, but not advertised/available in the Download Center.
 
I have the correct link to the SZ17.bin for the E179 790i FTW (non-Digital)..Here ya go, if you want to use NVIDIA System Tools to flash it.
 
Hope that helps.
 
As far as using a virtual drive, I don't know..But anyway, you can get the correct SZ17 BIOS .bin for your 790i FTW in the link above.
