This is a great price for this board, but it is not a board for everyone and the lack of certainty about the company's future should give the average user pause when considering purchase of any EVGA product. It's sad the state that EVGA is in.
When you buy mobo it should have version 1.xx. My suggestion, buy/borrow a 12th gen, insert cpu and flash each of the three bios to 2.00, 2.08, and 2.13
Once done, insert 13th gen and then you're set.

The issue is that EVGA is loosing resources and as a result, there is concern that an lga1700 14th gen CPU may not be supported on this board as the bios team is likely leaving/gone.

The reason this board wasn't selling like a hotcake is for 1. two ram slots instead of four. Little did most know two slots likely make sense for DDR5 as it doesn't play well with 4 sticks. If populate all 4 slots ddr5 will run at a much slow speed. 2. z790 can run ddr5 oc for much higher freq. than z690 board to really push the ddr5 speed, just read the spec. which is probably the only real advantage z790 over z690 boards.
If this is a ddr4 board then it'd be a no brainer. For ddr5 board I'd wait for z790 to drop price.
However, I can't find an official Intel statement that you have referenced, could you share where you got this info?
Warranty and BIOS updates will cease to exist if they go bankrupt.

Hey, Trying to pull away from the spammy Windows eco system. I've built multiple PC's, run two laptops. Just switched my garage PC to Linux and slowly migrating my two other machines to Linux- baby steps.
Q I am familiar w/ dual boot- Grub. How do you run windows in a VM on a GPU? So Linux is on the cpu and Win on on the GPU? Makes no sense to me.
this is like buying a sports car without AC, rear seats, power windows etc etc. it's built for pure performance and makes some sacrifices to be the best. the evga classified is the more consumer friendly version of this board.
also worth mentioning it is eATX, so will not fit certain cases, e.g. it would not fit in my nzxt h9 elite, but does fit my fractal torrent case.
Def not worth the risks @ $349.99 when Asus Z690 Strix-E is on sale for over $100 Less from Amazon ( for $244.13). https://slickdeals.net/f/16863887-asus-rog-strix-z690-e-wifi-6e-lga-1700-atx-gaming-motherboard-244-13-free-shipping?src=ca

But you should be able to google it, I didn't make it up as you alluded to. It's literally allover on the internet, here, https://www.pcguide.com/cpu/intel...-lga-1700/
Current indications are that the 14th gen Meteor Lake processors will move away from the LGA 1700 socket, which was utilized by Alder Lake and Raptor Lake chips. The shift to a different socket means that consumers would not be able to reuse their LGA 1700 hardware with upcoming Meteor Lake CPUs and thus will have to get a new motherboard.
