No, do not fix unless broken. These days BIOS updates cause more troubles than they fix things ;) Especially when 3.60 version for your motherboard has the following warning: *ASRock do NOT recommend updating this BIOS if Pinnacle, Raven or Summit Ridge CPU is being used on your system. Your 2700X is Pinnacle Ridge ------------- folding@home |

I have to agree with Muziqaz, if your system is working well and you don't have a more serious issue than RAM frequency don't update. This is particularly true with Ryzen, the only time you should update is if you are upgrading to un unsupported CPU (on your current BIOS) or if you are experiencing a serious issue that is making your system unreliable/unuseable. More often than not, if you are not using the latest CPU generation, updates will break things rather than fix them. -------------
