The installed BIOS on my ASUS X670E-PLUS Mobo is dated 2/2/2024 Version 2413
There have been five updates since then.
The latest version is 3042 dated 22/10/2024 (plus there's a Beta version 3056 dated 26/10/2024)
What is the perceived wisdom regarding installing the latest versions?
Does it impact the warranty if updates are applied without informing PCS?
