You have a solid opportunity with the MSI Z690-P and 13700. Since you’re not on the 12th generation and the seller hasn’t updated BIOS, you’ll need to follow the correct steps. Check MSI’s official documentation for BIOS flashback support and confirm whether your motherboard allows it. If not, consider purchasing a 12th gen board to get BIOS updates. MSI service centers can usually perform BIOS updates for free, but availability depends on location and model. You can also attempt the update yourself if you have experience. Buying a cheaper 12th gen might be the safest route if updates aren’t possible.

You can send the board to their RMA team for updates, though this may take a few weeks. It’s still worth reaching out to their service department for a more accurate timeline. You might consider purchasing an external BIOS flasher, which isn’t costly but can be frustrating to use. If you’re able to find a used 12th-gen board and sell it quickly, that could be the most efficient option—ensuring you don’t lose money.
