I have a gigabyte gaming 3 ab350m motherboard and through BIOS I checked that It had august 2017 BIOS software installed. Should I flash for a newer one? I don't want to risk destroying my MB and RMA it, they might not RMA it for me if I do stupid shit like OC or flash. What's the risk if i'll install a new BIOS using an usb stick with fat 32?

 

The reason I want to try is that I have constant stuttering in all games and it might be because of old amd chipset drivers which didn't have better support for ryzen chips. What do you think?

Well if you are experiencing a problem it's worth a try. Make sure that there are no risks of loss of electricity (e.g. if there is a storm in your area).

 

If you don't feel very comfortable in doing it watch a few videos (possibly of your motherboard model) so that you get an idea on what the process looks like.

 

I don't think it's the chipset that is causing stuttering though.
