Ok here is my situation...
i managed to snag a newegg deal that includes
TUF z690 plus mobo
12900k
and 32gb XPG Lancer ram
I also ordered a 14700kf and they're all in shipping right now...
I want to sell the 12900k new and just install the 14700kf immediately in the mobo...
I think the Motherboard comes with the 2703 BIOS which supports 13th gen...
and my question is will the 14th gen cpu work with the Motherboard since it's the same architecture or will i nees an older CPU first to update the BIOS?
This mobo sadly doesn't have flashback functionality (shocking at 2023) and i will need an older cpu...
