If your system is stable on BIOS 5.10, I wouldn't update unless you need support for newer CPUs or specific fixes. If you do update, follow ASRock's recommended BIOS sequence, reset everything to default first, and use Instant Flash from the UEFI. As for Secure Boot, it's perfectly fine to leave it disabled if none of your games or applications require it.]]> Fri, 31 Jul 2026 15:45:21 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113509&PID=201881&title=x470-taichi-bios-updates#201881 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113509&PID=201409&title=x470-taichi-bios-updates#201409 Author: T1125P

Yup, the only reason I would update the BIOS like you did is for CPU support. Which I did once I bought my 5800X3D.]]> Fri, 08 May 2026 09:45:21 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113509&PID=201409&title=x470-taichi-bios-updates#201409 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113509&PID=201392&title=x470-taichi-bios-updates#201392 Author: Xaltar

In your situation I would do the same, I have always advocated for "if it works,
leave it be". One of my boards was still on BIOS 1.01, I updated it purely for
the CPU support given first gen Ryzen isn't "officially" supported anymore.]]> Wed, 06 May 2026 05:01:51 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113509&PID=201392&title=x470-taichi-bios-updates#201392 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113509&PID=201388&title=x470-taichi-bios-updates#201388 Author: T1125P

Thanks for the reply. After reading and since I don't have secure boot enabled and don't plan on enabling it, I think the safe thing is to just stay on 5.10.
If they are based on the previous 10.xx BIOS' I won't touch 10.50. This was from Reddit: "X470 Taichi Dead after BIOS Update?" https://www.reddit.com/r/ASRock/comments/1b26sd4/x470_taichi_dead_after_bios_update/#:~:text=BIOS%20Update%20Issue:%20Updating%20the%20ASRock%20X470,can%20result%20in%20the%20motherboard%20being%20bricked.

Your updates went fine on your 4 boards with 10.50, but I think I will stay put.

The only point of 10.50 is secure boot keys so if you are not using them and don't
feel comfortable updating then you don't need to bother with it. If you find you
need it at some point you can always update then. As far as I am aware 10.50 will
be based on the previous latest BIOS so any issues that exist there will likely
exist on 10.50 too.

FWIW I haven't seen many complaints about 10.XX, on here or redit. There is one
other user currently having issues getting 10.50 to POST on their setup however.
They are running a 5700x. It may be worth seeing how their situation plays out.

I had no issues updating to 10.50 on my AM4 boards:
X370 Taichi
X370 Gaming X
X570 Taichi
X570 Pro 4

I went ahead and updated them all when the new BIOSes dropped. The updates all
went without a hitch. The boards had been sitting on a shelf for a while as I
only have a Ryzen 5 1400 and Ryzen 5 3600 left in my parts bin. The 3600 has
been fine in the X370 Taichi for a few weeks now in my daughter's PC. She uses
it for graphic design and light gaming.
