What eVGA did is the world-class BS. Some people spent up to $800 for these boards and then had no proper support for them. It smells to me like a lawsuit case.

it is pretty wild that there still isn't an update for 14th gen.  I paid $829 for the z690 board at launch lol
 
I would upgrade to the 14700 or 14900 but i'm not ripping apart my machine for a new mobo and am especially pleased I passed on the 790.

Well, none of the board specifications or marketing indicate that they will ever support future generations (which 14th gen is from the time of motherboard-release). The only thing you'd have to go on is that there were EVGA staff members who came in here and said they were working on it. I don't recall them ever giving a timeline or saying it was definitely going to release, just that they were working on it. I think with them saying they were working on it, I'd be furious too if I read that and went out to buy a 14th gen CPU, but I don't see a lawsuit having any luck given the lack of specific promises/guarantees... 

I have 13900K on Z690 Dark KingPin (bios 2.13 bios). CPU set 5.6 GHz on 1.363v custom waterloop 420 ratiator. I have G Skill 7600 (2 x 48GB) ddr5 ram @ 7800 MHz (34,46,46,50, 111222) 140mm fan on the ram.
 
This better motherboard than ASUS Z790 Strix- E, The ASUS could only do 7200 MHz on my 7600 MHz ddr5 ram.

That's the problem.  EVGA makes vague statements to mislead buyers, and to protect or drive up sales, but don't provide enough specifics to be held accountable legally.
 
It's really frustrating and scummy.

I have Z690 Dark and DDR5 8000 A Die and this board could not do more than 7400 on my 13900k 2.13 BIOS. Since eVga dropped the ball on this I replaced Z690 Dark with Z790 Gigabyte Tachyon and I am on DDR5 8200 with no problems. I would like to know what kind of sorcery settings you need on Z690 Dark to pass 7400. Obviously, CPU has no problem running the same memory DDR5 at 8000 overclocked to 8200 / low latency tuned.

I don't know how anyone has it, but everything works great on my z690 with 14900K. I apologize in advance for my English.

So you have bios version 2.08 with 14900k on Z690 Dark? Am I missing something here? How did you get 8200 working on this board? My 13900k cannot pass 7400 with DDR5 8000 Sticks and yet it does fine 8200 on Gigabyte Tachyon? Again, am I missing something?

I had 13900K. I recently sold it and bought a 14900K. The bios version did not change. I had to reset the settings, because the mother did not start and offered to boot into bios. For 13900k memory, the maximum that could be 8000. On the new processor, I should be even at 8400. But I didn't get to that point. I will try when I have a spare hour. I have never had products from EVGA before. I am delighted with the Z690. Sincerely, Yuriy. Sorry for my English. 

nvm, misread

So just curious if others are seeing similar issues here. I originally bought the z690 kingpin when I bought my 12900k basically a few months after release. I then upgraded to the 13900k and went to bios 2.01 I believe (i think that was the raptor lake release). I just reassembled my build with new custom loop and was using the 2.01 bios, I installed some new tforce 7200 sticks and enabled xmp and for the most part it worked. I have been messing with all sorts of settings (Rgb, flow meter alarming, fan control etc) and installed the latest bios, the 2.13 to get the smart fan stuff in Eleet. Well it feels like the memory is less stable on this release. Is that common? Should I go back to a different bios? I can't confirm without some testing, but I am pretty sure on BIOS 2.01 that the the XMP for this memory just worked (was able to play games etc) and now I am downclocking to get it to work. I haven't tweaked memory settings yet really but it seems like maybe the BIOS revisions are getting less stable as maybe EVGA's teams are getting smaller?
