Sup.
I have a Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Hero EVA edition motherboard, recently bought, initialy for the i5- 13600k.

But i saw some people saying that wont work unless you update Bios. The funny thing i dont have any intel processor, cuz i was an AMD user.

So i want to know if there is any chance that the system will post or boot with 13th gen by any chance!? So atleast bios gets updated...
Or
I'll just have to get an 12th gen cpu 😓

Thank ya!

Some z690's have a bios flash option, run through USB. Fortunately, yours is one of those. So you should be able to do it just fine.
