Do I need a BIOS update to pair a z790 motherboard with 14th gen CPUs?
It doesn't matter either way, the board you're looking at has BIOS flashback (don't need a CPU to do BIOS flashback), so pop it in and see if it works. If it doesn't, you can still flash your board to the newest BIOS that works. https://imgur.com/a/0mNV1Pd More on reddit.com

Can anyone tell me if the ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Hero supports 14th gen processors?
https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-z690-hero-model/helpdesk_qvl_cpu/ Core™ i9 i9-14900K 3.2GHz 125W 36MB 24 B-0 2602 Requires BIOS version 2602 to run 14th gen are there any drawbacks from getting this Z690 for a 14900k vs the newer Z790? Besides the BIOS requirement, not really although if you're shopping for top end hardware I'm not sure why you wouldn't go Z790. More on reddit.com

Questions about Z790 for 14th Gen
The PCle 5.0 thing for NVMe SSD. keep hearing that the CPUS support 4.0 only, and that any MBs supporting 5.0 won't get the full performance. How can a MB support 5.0 if the CPU doesn't That's not the issue with Intel CPUs and gen-5 m.2s Intel supports gen-5 m.2s, and they will function at full capacity when installed The issue is they eat into the PCIe_1 slot's bandwidth to do so, and it's an unequal tradeoff, and further it does it when any m.2 is installed on a gen-5 slot with Intel So if you install any m.2 drive into the gen-5 m.2 slot, whether it's a PCIe 5 x4 m.2, a PCIe 4 x4 m.2, or anything else, it will drop the PCIe_1 slot from x16 to x8 and gimp the GPU bandwidth by half Now real world in a game that may mean little, but the difference between a gen 4 and gen 5 m.2 drive means even less, so it's a worthless tradeoff for a grossly overpriced product that is gimping the rest of the system without any gains in return More on reddit.com

Are you able to install the M.2 Rog Hyper card into the PCIE 5 #2 slot if you have a large GPU like a 4090 in the PCIE 5 #1 slot?
NO NO NO - this mobo is too small.

I have my single gpu connected to PCIEX16(g)_1 to take advantage of 16x.  My question is:  If you have 2 nvme drives plugged into positions m.2_1 & m.2_2 of the hyper m.2 card which is plugged into slot PCIE16(G4) (3rd pcie slot),  will the 2 nvme drives share 4x?  Or can you only run a single nvme drive in order to maintain 16x on the gpu?     * i am not using the onboard m.2 only the hyper m.2 card.
yes

Will this board run SLI? they no longer mention multi gpu support even though it may. I had a z590 e that would.
The product information provided does not mention support for SLI or multi-GPU setups. Therefore, it is unclear if this motherboard supports SLI.

r/ASUS on Reddit: ROG Z790 Maximus hero 14th gen Intel supported???
March 13, 2024 -

I recently built my new gaming PC and I currently have an Intel I7 13700kf paired with a Asus 4090 gaming OC. I have old parts from my previous build that somebody wants to purchase and they would like to buy my CPU from this build. On the box and online I can guarantee it supports 13th and 12th Gen Intel because I was going to upgrade to a 13 900 KS. But on Newegg it shows in the description it supports 14th and some places say it does support 14th but I can’t find anything with actual hard evidence so if anybody has some information on this, it would be greatly appreciated so I can make my decision of whether or not to buy a 13th I-9 or a 14th I-9. THANKS!
