You will not lose your stuff if you update the bios. But if everything is working fine leave well enough a lone.

That CPU that you are using 2500 came out before the board so you should be fine. I don't understand why it is listed like that.

tnx for answering. That is why im asking it in here, cant see why do update if it is working. I even can OC my 2500 up do 3.9Ghz. If the F9 will not give me anything i think i will not update it. Last time i use the @BIOS update and i have to reinstal my op because it wont run enymore.

If it sees it right I am with  dmdilks as in don't mess with it. There is a saying if it isn't broke don't fix it.
