Unless you're having an issue or need a specific feature added in a new BIOS, I wouldn't really advise updating the BIOS, there is a risk of bricking the board if you do something wrong or get unlucky.

They're also pulling Spectre/Meltdown fixes all over the place due to them causing issues. Considering how many systems are affected by it and how relatively few attacks there have been utilising it, it's not necessarily worth updating to a fix right now as it may cause more noticeable issues. 

 

Besides, OP's motherboard hasn't had an update for Spectre/Meltdown, so it's irrelevant here for OP.
