If it's operating fine, no need to update BIOS... unless the later BIOS has features that you need?

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

Go through the list of bugs or improvements the new versions offer, If one of them fixes an issue you ACTUALY have experienced, do it. If not, as @paddy-stone said, dont update it.

 

If it aint broke, dont fix it.

||Intel i7-7770k | MSi Z270 Carbon Gaming Pro | 16GB G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3000mhz | EVGA GTX 1080 FTW | Corsair 400C & RM750 PSU + H100i||

||Creative SB Recon 3D Fatal1ty | Samsung Evo 850 500GB | Seagate 2TB | Lots of red LED fans |Corsair K70 Black | Razer Deathadder Chroma|| 

||Dell 27" U2713HM | ASUS VP239H | Kingston HyperX Cloud II | Win 10 Pro | Portable gaming made possible with MSI GT70 2OC and a bag to dump in||

~~Assembled with love and care~~
