My new system that I got back in early august has the TUF Gaming B550 motherboard and has a BIOS version that is from 20/05/2020.

Given it is a relatively new board I can see from ASUS’ site that they have released several updates (5 since my current version), some which are supposed to improve system performance and stability, DRAM stability etc, which seem like pretty major items. https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/TUF-GAMING-B550-PLUS/HelpDesk_BIOS/

Should I update or just forget about it?

System spec below:

Processor (CPU)AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Six Core CPU (3.6GHz-4.2GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4)

You need to contact PCS for a BIOS update, doing it without their guidance will lead to invalidated warranty.

If you're not having any issues, there's no need to update the BIOS.
