Should I update the BIOS on my new build?
Just completed building my new PC (description in signature below) and updated all drivers.
I am wondering, however, if I should update the BIOS. The version that came with the board is 0224 (2018.08.14), while the latest is 0602 (2018.10.31).
The description for the latest version is enticing, promising
- Improved system stability and performance.
- Updated Microcode for 8-core CPU.
- Improved DRAM stability.
- Fixed USB device issue.
All of these sound like important improvements (what was the USB device issue?), yet so far my computer is running smoothly. I know the adage is, "if it isn't broken don't fix it," but it's hard not to want to implement improved stability and performance.ASUS ROG Strix Z390-E | Intel i7-8700K | Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB DDR4-2666 | EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8 GB FTW ULTRA SILENT | Samsung 960 EVO 500 GB M.2-2280 SSD | Western Digital Black 6TB | Cryorig H7 | Fractal Design Define R6 Gunmetal TG ATX | SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Gold 650 W 80+ | Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
