I could always push M-Die from DDR5 6400 to DDR5 7400 and low latency tuned on Z690 with very little effort. I believe my 13900k can do DDR5 8000+ A Die easily. I hope eVga releases another BIOS update for 14900k on this board. Too bad if they don't but I won't be surprised if that does not happen.

You can push 8000+ Dual Ranked? Show me proof of that please. 
 
I am talking about 2x32gb DUAL RANKED DIMMS. Not 2x16gb. or 2x24gb which are also not dual ranked.

Sorry. I was talking 2x16Gb

I would also like a conformation on if a bios update is needed for a 14900k on the Z690 classified MB or if there will be one available in the future.
 
Thanks for all your support!

I bought a 14900KF, and it's working for me with a z690 Classy and Bios 2.12. No major issues. I don't have another MOBO to test it on, but it did provide an all around benchmark upgrade from my 12900KF. It did give me a 5 beep code at first, but clearing CMOS fixed and it booted fine and detected the 14900KF.

14900k/F should function in the motherboard, but an update from EVGA is needed for default V/F/clocks to work right on the "14th gen". You can manually set the per-core OC ratios to function the way the chip is supposed to and do your own voltage adjustments (checking for stability of course). Basically go through what you would go through to manually overclock/undervolt your CPU, but just to get it running the way Intel intended.

As I understand from others here, the 14700k/F is not detected correctly on these boards. Kingpin posted some test results (see post 77 above) with the z690 with the 14900k and confirmed manual adjustments are required to get it running correctly until EVGA provides official BIOS support for the "14th gen".
 
I know you're hoping that EVGA will come in here and say...anything...at all...but we've all been waiting for that and haven't seen it in months in the z690/z790 motherboard sections.

People have been sent email replies from EVGA with “It’s being worked on.” At least they didn’t flat out say they are not working on it. I’m probably putting too much faith in them lol. We are catching their last dying breath.

To be fair, the quote above was "this is still being looked at, unfortunately I cannot provide you an ETA." This doesn't say "we're working on the update". It says they're looking at the problem but it doesn't say they have a plan for if/how/when at all. They said they were working on it in August, but they haven't confirmed since then that there is still a plan to release an update. We also know the guys who were responsible for testing new CPUs on their boards and updating the BIOS accordingly were looking for new jobs in June.

Their motherboard team in Taiwan office left the company. There is no one to make new BIOS. The only thing they can do is contract some 3rd party company to do one last update to BIOSes for Z690 and Z790 but that will cost $$$ and no return for them since they stopped selling Z790 boards.

New bios will not be released despite the lies from EVGAs support
EVGA can't do anything because they no longer exist, it's a dead horse
