So is better keep older BIOS and 12th gen CPU?

If it's a very early BIOS close to the launch of 12th gen CPU, then personally I wouldn't update it. But if the BIOS version on the mobo is already updated before it was shipped to you, then you can update it to a more recent version if possible.

Yes but how I gonna verify it, EVGA isn't specifying it.
So now I have to buy CPU and don't know which i9-13900K(higher failure rate and $420) or i9-12900K(slower and cheaper $300).
 
Go for 12700K. These often overclock to 5.4 GHz and easier to cool than a 12900K. When you boot up the mobo, go into BIOS and it will show you which version. You can also use CPU-Z to see that info (mobo tab).
 
How I find out This EVGA board supports 3 diferent firmwares by switching.
If one goes bad you can always rely on other two.
Cool feature.
 
Once you get it fully tested you could sell it and buy an even newer system for what you could fetch from the mobo alone.
