There are numerous options available, and using a BIOS Flashback board (anything except low to midrange ASUS models) lets you update the BIOS via a flash drive. The Tomahawk Max should work, though many MSI boards have encountered problems with their 14th gen BIOS updates. For a 14th gen compatible board, the Z790 Aorus Elite X AX is likely your best choice.
