Bios update question.

[dani72]

If I update the BIOS on my PC does the overclocking profile get lost?

No, though if it did it should be simple enough to restore.

However

7.8 The company reserves the right to suspend the warranty or refuse service if your Case, Motherboard, CPU or BIOS have been replaced without authorisation. Any tampering, repair or modification by unauthorised personnel voids the warranty.

I'd strongly recommend contacting PCS for advice (and permission) before updating your BIOS.

Why do you want to update the BIOS? Is there any particular thing you need from a newer version? What mobo is it?

I'll second Oussebon's note of caution. Don't update the BIOS unless you absolutely have to.

I always thought it was beneficial to have the latest version of the BIOS installed, as it gave you the most up-to-date features/enhancements. I always updated the BIOS on my old PC every time there was a new version.

The MOBO is Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming.

It isn't. It may contain updates that have no practical value to you at all - unlike, say, GPU drivers which should improve performance over time and support new games and which you would expect to periodically update. But you do have the risk (however slight) of wrecking your system, or introducing new issues caused by the new BIOS.

You can check patch / release notes for the BIOSes and see if anything looks relevant to you. If it is, ask PCS. If not, you're probably best off leaving your perfectly functional system alone
