Likely.

Always check the BIOS notes. But with all I have seen, with a newer BIOS all CPU's will still work (except sometimes certain A8/A10 won't work, because the BIOS flash is basically fully at this point)

Assuming your motherboard does not have a dual BIOS in place, it will brick.

That is why it usually is recommended to connect your PC to a UPS if you have an unstable electrical network where you live (in any case, but mostly for a BIOS update too).

1 more question for the bios update I want to go from f41 to f50 but on gigabyte’s website they say “you have to follow the steps detailed on the f40 bios description” do you have any idea on what that means?

It means you have to follow this:

make sure you have updated BIOS to F32 before F40.

So the way I read this, is if you want to go to F40 (or F41, F50, etc.) you need to be at least on F32 before doing that. So you can't go from F30 to a newer one, you need to first go to F32.

 

The way I read it, you can just go install the F50 BIOS.
