Beta BIOS for next-gen CPU support.  Suggest to wait if you are still on Alder Lake.
 
BETA BIOS 2.00 (E699 DARK K|NGP|N / E698 Classified)

  • Beta BIOS for next-gen CPU support.
* NOTE * - Not recommended for use with Alder Lake processors.  We suggest waiting for a future update for full current and next-gen support.
 


Windows Installation
  • Download the correct .zip file below for your motherboard:        
         121-AL-E699-KR - EVGA Z690 DARK K|NGP|N - v2.00
         121-AL-E698-KR - EVGA Z690 CLASSIFIED - v2.00
  • First go into your BIOS and load defaults, save and exit
  • Close all open programs.
  • Go into the folder where you unzipped this package and double-click update.bat
  • Press Y to start the flash process
  • DO NOT TURN OFF POWER OR RESET DURING THE FLASH PROCESS
  • After the flash is finished, the system will automatically shut down. Power on the system again and go into BIOS and adjust settings as needed.
  • NOTE: If flash box immediately closes after flash attempt, the flash may need to be run from a CMD prompt with administrator privileges or DOS version.
  
BIOS Installation
  • Extract the contents of .zip file to USB flash drive (must be formatted as FAT32)
  • Reboot the machine and go into the system BIOS
  • From the BIOS, navigate to the EXTRAS tab at the upper left and click on "BIOS Update"
  • Select the .bin file you wish to flash.
 
Please let me know if anyone runs into problems with this update.  Thanks!
 
Also, earlier BIOS files for each board can be found on our Download Center.

What is this "next-gen CPU" you speak of? I'm not familiar with that term.

Yeah, they're just the words on the paper I was handed.  No clue either.

I mean, I've been to Dinosaur National Monument, almost stepped on a rattlesnake near the visitor center, and almost got caught in a flash flood there, but I don't recall any lakes.  Not sure what all the fuss is about.

LUV IT!
 
my Alder Lake experience has been nothing but smooth skating!
 
and it's been just as great, as now, knowing, that -- the mystery continues!
 
but it is also, so awesome, knowing at anytime, a big step-up will absolutely be made -- on me Classy np.
 
after an EVGA 40 series FTW vid card -- i'll be using BIOS 2.00+. for something. IDK why.
 
TY for delivering something EVGATech_LeeM!

You know that EVGA has an NDA and can't say anything about 13th gen Intel CPUs for now. The Intel announcement should be 27 September. Maybe on or after that date EVGA can say more.
