Im getting and 14600kf but im going for z690 or b660 instead of z790 bcs im staying with ddr4 for now. For future upgrades ill switch to ddr5 but not yet. So i wanna know if bios fkr 14th gen is out yet. Motherboards are z690 aorus elite or b660 aorus master. Im not doing any overclocks so b660 is more than enough too. Ill put links of the motherboards bios versions if someone can tell me if latest updates are for 14th gen. It says its for future generations, but when 13th gen came out it specifically said in the description of the bios "for 13th gen compatability", so im not sure.

I updated the BIOS on my Z690 MSI board before installing my 14700K. No problem at all.

All the 600 series motherboards should have compatible BIOSes available. Just put the latest on.

Note that the Gigabyte boards you’ve selected DO have BIOS Flashback, which means you can update the BIOS without owning a previously compatible CPU (which could be 12th gen for a 600 board). Not all boards have this feature, and most B660 do not.

Try to go for a Z series board if you can.
