Feels like they lied. Take em to court 

Can confirm it does, I initially flashed 1.13 and booted fine then flashed 1.14 and helped with 8000mhz ram. It's hard to cool tho, have it delidded and ek direct die and it still hits 100c without undervolting in cinebench.

Can confirm it does,

Not really.
Bare minimum functionality, wrong frequency/voltage, and missing specific features.

Hi,

I got a call and follow up email from Chris as well, regarding two new beta BIOSs for Z790 boards, Classified and KingPin.

The email message is:

"Thank you for your time on the phone and attached is the BETA BIOS for the E798 and E799 MBs which can support the current gen Intel processors.

Also please take note that EVGA strongly suggest using the current BIOS unless you want to use a current next Gen CPU and only flash to #3 on the Motherboard so you can go back to previous BIOS if any issues.

Sincerely,
Chris Bencivenga
EVGA Operations Manager"

He stated I can share them. See below

Thanks a lot!
 
ps: just for the records E798 is the Z790 Classified and E799 is the Z790 Dark

Has anyone installed the beta bios and if so, have you noticed any issues with current gen Intel CPUs

Ok guys, FINAL BETA BIOS is finally here
I9 14900K working perfectly on Z790 DARK KINGPIN
48GB 2x24GB 8000mhz no issues
 

That appears to be the 1.17 BETA BIOS that was released in April of this year, which does NOT have the Intel Voltage corrections for the most recent 13th/14th gen K-CPU voltage issues.
 
If that's the case then make sure you cap the CPU power to 253W, and ICCMAX to 400A, otherwise you'll burn up your CPU.

well, after a few days of use, this BIOS is just perfect
 
48GB 2x24GB DDR5 8000mhz with XMP only, no manual tuning, 100% stable in all uses, work or gaming, passed all MEMTEST test without problems!
 
14900K "without the latest Intel fix", not necessary, works perfect, 40k+ in Cinebench R23 with everything stock, P Cores x56 all + E Cores x44 all, power limit released, consumes about 350w under load, DOES NOT DO THERMAL THROTTLING with an AIO! I don't even have a delid, I don't even use a custom wc, just AIO
