New BIOS will have some improvements to things like bug fixes, and system improvements, but not a big deal. It is not required for overclocking, and I hope you can find a good video online to see how to overclock.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

The only time you'd need to update BIOS is if your future CPU needs a BIOS update first; For example, an X370 motherboard might need a BIOS update first before it can run a Ryzen 5 2600X.
