Looks like there won't be a new BIOS for "14gen"
EVGA is dead


But 14gen should work without bios update
or with little modification by injecting microcode

Don’t know why you’d expect a file posted in the middle of the night by a now by small company that is on the west coast of the US. The techs that post in the forum are sleeping. Company rep stated here on the forums publicly they were working on bios updates. Also said they would have more to say WHEN THEY WERE READY with it. And everyone here takes their silence since to mean they changed their minds? As a reminder, 13th Gen update for z690 came out on launch day. Why is anyone shocked or angry we don’t have news yet?

Because it takes less than a minute for a rep to swing by and type:
Guys, relax. It IS being worked on, and it WILL be posted. We promise we won’t forget about you.

A little more confirmation is never a bad thing especially considering how anxious everyone is over the state of the company.

EVGA please update bios. I am looking forward for the 14900KS from 12900K at 5.3 Ghz. I notice some games still bottleneck 

 
Looking at performance test so far it seems the gains with 14th gen are so negligible its not worth upgrading if you already have 12th gen or 13th gen.

That is not excuse no to release new BIOS.. you are just downplaying the importance of new BIOS release to support 14th gen.

Pretty screwed up they didn't release a BIOS. Wow. 
 
I am home with my 14900K and it's on my Asus Z790 Apex board which has had supported BIOS for months now. GG EVGA. 

The day is still young in California. Lets see how the day turns out.

I bought the i7-14700K and the z690 kingpin is the only mobo I have, I legit though the bios update would have been ready and was stupid enough to put it in and waste $20 of thermal paste, all I can think of now is returning it for the 13700k, but I am mentally burned out to drive an hour round trip to make the exchange now, I am just going to hope that we get an update, I am literally without a working computer right now. Please let us know, I want a working computer, but if I have to wait a Month, I may as well skip 14th gen all together.

Same but 14900kf. Thanks for your sacrifice and confirming it's not working. Saves me opening a sealed product and having them take a cut for opened box losses.
 
I'm giving It until friday, then if nothing's been updated I'm probably just gonna return the board and cpu and go AM5. Really wanted to stick to EVGA because the audio quality is the best I've heard.
 
I personally think there will be an update, but when? Can't imagine a company with such awesome values and customer support over the years tarnishing it all and leaving on a bad note because of one last bios update. Do think It'll come, I just personally can't wait weeks.

just test with latest bios 2.13, should work

Did anyone actually test 14th gen CPU in a z690 dark?
