You should only ever update the bios if you have to. If your system runs out of power during the update it will brick the motherboard not to mention the other problems that could occur.

As long as you are almost 100% sure the power wont go out and the computer will be stable for the entire process along with a stable bios version to update to you should be fine, worst comes to worst you can get a new bios chip.

A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.
