I made a fresh build with an Intel i7-13700K 13th gen and an ASUS TUF GAMING Z690 PLUS WIFI. The issue is the motherboard only supports 12th/13th gen processors if you flash it with the newest BIOS; otherwise it’s limited to 12th gen. Since the latest CPU I own is a 4th gen, updating the BIOS isn’t possible. Flashing the motherboard via USB isn’t an option either. I purchased a programmer and tried clipping the chip with a crocodile clip, erasing, uploading—still no success. The board has two BIOS chips: one for 12th gen (MX25L12872F) and another for 13th gen (W25Q64JVSIQ). I need to split the BIOS files somehow, which would require about 24,756 KB without the capsule, while the chips themselves can hold up to 24,000 KB. I’m looking for someone who knows how to edit the BIOS or has an alternative solution.

To try this manually, you'd need to extract both EEPROM chips and match them against the BIOS package. This usually means determining the BIOS version for your board (often by a hex search). A better approach is purchasing a budget-friendly compatible CPU to upgrade the BIOS or contacting the retailer to inquire about BIOS update services.

He has several videos demonstrating how to recover BIOS when it's not included in the main installation, and I've noticed he does similar things as well.

I saw a video showing him doing it, so I won’t take that chance. Instead, I’ll send my mobile to a nearby technician who’s following what Levent mentioned.
