Dear EVGA Community,
 
Thank you everyone for your patience while our team worked on the updates per Intel for the Z790 motherboards. 
These updates include the latest 0x12B Microcode and the Intel ME Firmware Update (16.1.32.2473).
 
This BIOS is considered BETA, and we only recommend flashing it to one of your BIOS chips, just in case you need to revert back to an older version.
 
The BETA BIOS can be downloaded at the links below:
 
·         121-RL-E799-KR - EVGA Z790 DARK K|NGP|N - v1.21
·         121-RL-E798-KR - EVGA Z790 CLASSIFIED - v1.18
 

That was much faster then anticipated thanks!

good to hear the feedback is positive

Thank you so much at least my Z790 Dark is alive 1 more year to see how the new Mobo Arrow Lake and S200 series performance 

Bios is working a treat.  One thing I noticed which was entirely unexpected.  While I've updated with every bios release, this is the first time I upgraded and my windows install didn't get deactivated.  Not sure if it's the result of this upgrade actually carrying an updated ME FW or what, but it was a welcome surprise.
 
Great job, guys!
