Should I upgrade my BIOS?
Hi guys,
I was just checking driver downloads from the ASUS website to see if there were any updates.
Upon running Speccy, I found out I have BIOS 212. There is a BIOS 223 available. Following is the changelog from my current BIOS version to the latest:
BIOS 223
1.Fix system may hang if press power button immediately after plugging AC in.
2.Fix OS led not light after resume from deep S3.
BIOS 219
Support i3-2370
BIOS 218
Firmware Change
BIOS 213
Support new CPU i7-2670
BIOS 212 (CURRENT)
Optimize Asmedia USB3
I have not performed a BIOS update before, because it required floppy disks back in the day and it could be quite the process, so I stayed away from it.
My driver CD came with a "Windows BIOS Flash Utility V2.31.1", which should allow a more convenient updating of the BIOS while in the Windows environment.
So far, things appear to be fine, eventhough my BIOS is quite outdated.
Would you suggest to proceed with the update or should I leave it be? Why so?
Advice is much appreciated. Thanks.
