http://cdn.evga.com/BIOS/X299/E297_flashtool_128.zip is what is linked for the X299 FTW K. It is supposed to be 1.29, right?
 
https://cdn.evga.com/BIOS/X299/E295_flashtool_129.zip for the Micro (non-2 version) when it is supposed to be 1.30?
 
 
Edit: a simple copy paste and slight adjustment of the link fixed it for me: 
https://cdn.evga.com/BIOS/X299/E297_flashtool_129.zip for the X299 FTW K.
https://cdn.evga.com/BIOS/X299/E295_flashtool_130.zip for the X299 Micro (non-2 version).

Thanks for checking and the workaround.

Oh my God!!! What the heck All Mobo Lights are staying on including Memory after Power Supply Unplugged!!! Holding the PWR Button not seems to be discharge electricity.
Alright after some digging, I found out RSHTECH USB 3.0 Powered Hub causing Mobo Led Lights to stay on.
