Hi

First I would suggest just making sure that the BIOS file that you are trying to use is for your revision of motherboard as some boards only have the smaller BIOS chip and so it wouldn't be physically possible to use the larger file. If you are sure that it is correct you might have to update using FlashSPI. The file is included in the download of the BIOS file.

It is only advisable to update your BIOS if either there is a problem that it will fix or gives you added features. As yours is working alright I would agree and just stay where you are for now.
