I didn't need to update my BIOS. Sometimes updating it can actually screw things up... so be careful. Do you really need to?

Nope, I was just wondering if they made some great fixes for overclocking or stability that I was missing out on. So far no issues at all with the mobo.

Don't update this mobo unless you really need to.
There is no easy way to recover from a bad flash on this board.
Its basically a board swap if you mess it up.
I managed to restore one but its a process of unsoldering the bios chip.
Using an external programmer to flash the bios chip and then resoldering it to the board.
