Do you experience the bug? If not, then there's no reason for it.

yes beta

I would say that if you have nothing better to do but make your PC better, upgrading it when it's not a beta.

 

I know the feeling of not downloading a update :/

If you don't experience it, wait until it is out of beta.

 

I usually update the BIOS with one simple explanation - update the BIOS, so you don't have to.

MOTHERBOARD - ASUS PRIME X370-PRO
RAM - 32GB (4x8GB) CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX DDR4-2400
CPU COOLING - NOCTUA NH-D14
GRAPHICS CARD - EVGA NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 980Ti SC+ ACX 2.0 w/ BACKPLATE
BOOT and PROGRAMS - CORSAIR MP600 1TB
GAMES and FILES - TOSHIBA 2TB
INTERNAL BACKUP - WESTERN DIGITAL GREEN 4TB
POWER SUPPLY - CORSAIR RM850i

Don't update to beta BIOS versions, wait for the stable release.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

sudo chmod -R 000 /*

BETA doesn't mean unstable ;)

 

usually it does - it's probably stable enough but why risk it?

risk what exactly?!

the only risk one faces, updating BIOS, a power outage during the update - if the mobo is a dual-BIOS type, it doesn't even matter

if it goes through enough validation and certification steps, yes

but technically, a software never goes out of BETA

I update my bios everytime there is a new one. Mainly because its fun to me and i like doing it. But like others have said wait for the Final release version. So Beta Bios can have some strange bugs. It may save you a headache trying to figure out when something goes wrong.

does bios update cause any proplems with your OS ?

do you clean install each time you update the bios ?

Unless it's in the BIOS revision itself, issues with the OS should not be felt. You do not need to clean install when updating the BIOS.
