okay bare with me cause im newbie about this stuff so anyway i have my newly rig with i7 4770 (without k) CPU and GPU Sapphire-TriX-R9-290, Maximus Hero Vi motherboard with 1301 BIOS version i havent encountered any technical problems so far in 2 months of using my computer although sometimes i rarely get some frame rate stuttering in some games i played i heard upgrading your BIOS should gives you some performance and bug fixes so should i upgrade/update my bios here or stick with 1301 version?

Hi Kenja444,

I would suggest you first read up what the real changes are in the new bios. Thus what codes the changelog say about it. On my formula I have had the 3 different bios versions and I have not been able to detect any difference. I simply had to upgrade due to putting in the 4790K instead of a 4770K

Its not that latest is the fastest always as changes often relate to bugs that might not even show up on your setup ever.

Bios 1301 worked for me for a long time including overclocking and benching with the K model CPU. The only reason I upgraded to 1505 was for the 4790K Devil's Canyon CPU. If you're not going there, I'd suggest not risking the BIOS upgrade.
