Hi Everyone
As it says flashing the bios is potentially risky, I updated my Mobo bios to F15c on 05/06/2022, so not too long ago.
I may change the CPU soon to the 5800X3D, and when I look in the current bios list the F15c is not there anymore.
The F15a is still listed and that includes Ryzen 7 5800X3D support, so my later bios should be OK
But now a new bios has appeared F16b ( Optimized for the 5800X3D )
Question 1
Will this bios make a real difference as I don't want to update the bios every few months if it is not critical?
Question 2
Why was the F15c removed?
Window 11 pro 64
Ryzen 7 3700X
GIGABYTE RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB GAMING OC Pro
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (DDR4-3200)
Gigabyte 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe ( PCI-Express 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.3 interface )
Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE ( Dual Ultra-Fast NVMe PCIe 4.0/3.0 x4 M.2 Bios F15c)

If your system is stable and running well, updating is not usually necessary. I only typically update in order to fix or correct something, add support for a new CPU, address a serious security issue, etc.
BIOS' with a letter designation are beta. I don't usually use or recommend beta BIOS, unless they specifically address something I "need" to have. Sometimes they get "pulled" if a problem or issue is identified. Sometimes they get removed if a newer update is found to be better or if the beta is converted to an official release. (example no letter).
