I’m currently running a gigabyte Aorus elite ax with a i513400f . I’m wanting to upgrade to the i7 14700k . Do I need to do anything like download bios updates before shutting down and swapping or can I just swap? Would it post if I swap ?

The Gigabyte Aorus doesn't specifically mentioned about update BIOS support for 14th Intel, so it should be fine

 

Although, I would still recommend to update the BIOS as it usually fix the security vulnerability and some tweak to optimize PC performance, especially since Intel LGA1700 is still ongoing production and active support from the manufacturer

My System: Ryzen 7800X3D // Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX // 32GB DDR5 Silicon Power Zenith CL30 // Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT OC with mod heatsink on the metal plate  // Phanteks P300A  // Gigabyte Aorus GEN4 7300 PCIE 4.0 NVME // Kingston NV2 Gen4 PCIE 4.0 NVME // 

Seasonic Focus GX-850 Fully Modular // Thermalright Frost Spirit 140 Black V3 // Phanteks M25 140mm // Display: Bezel 32MD845 V2 QHD // Keychron K8 Pro (Mod: Gateron black box ink; Tape mode on PCB and Keycaps) // Razer Cobra Wired Mouse // Audio Technica M50X Headphone // Sennheiser HD 650 // Genius SP-HF180 USB Speaker //

Just check CPU support for the board you have and if there is a BIOS that supports the CPU you want for it.
You'll know what to do from there.
