I have a Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming ITX/ac motherboard which is currently at Bios 3.4. I am having no issues after dialing back my Overclocking settings. Are there performance or security needs that justify the upgrade to Bios 4.70. I understand, if I do go through with the upgrade I first need to do a 3.40 to 3.60 upgrade and then do the 3.60 to 4.70 upgrade. My concern is that I will brick a fully functioning computer and I don't want to rebuild this PC as it took a while for me to get all of the programs that I use loaded and working just the way I want them. ------------- MOBO: ASRock AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 RAM: G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB DDR4 3200 GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC PSU: EVGA 750 B3 Cooler: Cryorig C7 Boot Disk: SAMSUNG 850 PRO 256GB SSD |

| Don't bother updating the BIOS. You are fine where you are at. Stay on 3.xx versions with 1st gen Ryzen CPU. 4.xx stuff is too buggy with 1st gen and doesn't operate well at all. |
