The general idea is that if you're not experiencing any issues with your current BIOS version, don't bother.

It is safe to update your bios. Do it if you feel like you need a newer version of the bios or your CPU/motherboard is acting up and you limited it to it being your motherboards bios. 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

if it's not broken don't fix it...you just risk messing it up.

its only safe to update it if the newer chips you put in it dont work, then you need to update it.

Only when it isn't working or just takes forever to boot up. It's safe unless you put wrong files in wrong places or just turn off the power when updating..

I need S340. But more Define S'ish
