Hi everyone, is nice to see that EVGA team has provided us with a bios update even though is beta. I however came here to look and see if the 14900K is supported on the EVGA Z690 Classified motherboard or not. Thanks!

Taken from post #1 above ->  Please take note that the 0x12B Microcode is only tested with the Intel 13^th Gen. Processors on the EVGA Z690 Motherboard Series.
 
Check out post #9 from this thread as well ->  https://forums.evga.com/BETA-BIOS-for-Z690-0x129-Microcode-Update-m3625638.aspx
 

Thank you "bdary" for the information. I guess I will stick with what I have for now then. I did use the update and so far, no issues that I can report. 

Hey Chris, can you post a 14th gen update even if it is super super beta. I will send you guys a 14900k to use to release some sort of 14th gen update for this board.

You're welcome, happy to help.

eVGA already reported that there is hardware circuitry differences between the 13th and 14th gen processors that the Z690 board doesn't account for. In other words, this is unsupported.

Dear bruwleaf,
 
Thank you for your offer and I can confirm that we do have 14th Gen. Intel Processors here for testing, but as mentioned above due to the hardware circuitry that would need to be changed to fully support two generations of Intel processors since the release the Z690 series, EVGA does not support Intel Current Gen. Processors on the Z690 series motherboards.
 
The BIOS is updated to the latest Microcode and if you would like to test an unsupported processor you can, but please understand that EVGA does not support or recommend the setup beyond 13th Gen. Intel processors on the EVGA Z690 series motherboards.

This might be silly to ask but what if your team test the 14th gen CPU in the z690 and without reworking the hardware circuitry but instead you only try to get it stable as close as you can and offer us z690 owners a "Use at your own risk" bios update. Maybe this is too much to ask but this would great because then atleast the CPU can have somewhat stable wattage/ power. If this doesn't make sense lmk, but this would be cool to have a little download at your own risk 14th gen somewhat of a bios update to experiment with.

While it may not officially be supported, I can confirm that the 14900K does indeed work. You won’t be able to use OC Robot. That is all I found so far that’s broken. Ran OCCT and karhu for many hours with no crashes. Just lock all your cores at 5.7 or 5.8 and you’re good to go. So as you stated, try it at your own risk.

So if a 14900k works, do you think a14600k will work as well?
