BIOS Update Question

Hey everyone in not sure if this has been asked already but, I have a msi b450 mortar max and a Ryzen 3600 and my last bios which I installed was one from December 2019, now I'm thinking about updating but not a necessity as I have had no issues with the current BIOS but am just curious if updating to the new one which includes support and optimization for Ryzen 5000 series, would mess something up with the current support for my CPU, I'm 95% sure that it wont but I would rather be safe than sorry.


Thanks again

I recommend not updating your BIOS unless you absolutely must

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
