Update my bios, should I or leave it?
I'm using ASUS BIOS version:

If I should update will that not cause problems with my hardware that maybe doesn't work with latest version?

It shouldn't cause problems if:
1: The BIOS is well written and not buggy.
2: You update it successfully.
My question would be: what's the advantage of updating, when there is some chance of conditions 1 and 2 not being met?
If there is even a slight chance of it not going well, why would you take any chance at all? You're taking a risk. For what reward?
If you just want to do it or can't help yourself or are just hoping it fixes some problem, go ahead.
Personally, I'd want a good reason to take the risk, such as having an issue that the BIOS is known to fix.
Well I keep my Windows up to date without any reward so I thought maybe its best to update the BIOS too as people say its good to keep your BIOS up to date.
I'm not having any BIOS issue at the moment so I guess I shouldn't update but if I ever should need to it would be useful to know what version to pick? How it works? the risk if failure screwing up the pc?
The Old adage "If it ain't broke don't fix it" applies to a BIOS.
However, does the new BIOS version add a feature or support for new hardware that you need? and/or does it fix a problem you have? If yes then the BIOS upgrade should be considered. But it ifs no then its not needed.
