Hey all, first time here hoping to get an answer to what I imagine is a pretty easy question.
In a few days I'll be putting together my new build (4670k in a Maximus VI Hero). I plan on overclocking and had a couple questions in regards to the BIOS.
I read a lot of people say to not update BIOS if you aren't having issues, but then there are people that say if you are going to overlock you should have the most up-to-date BIOS... I'm not sure which train on though I should be following here.
If I do decide to do a BIOS update, which is the best way to do it? Windows utility? BIOS utility? Flashback? Is there anything specific I need to know about doing any of the methods?
Will my CPU even work in the board without a BIOS update? According to
http://rog.asus.com/304032014/asus-gaming-motherboards/asus-announces-bios-updates-for-new-4th-gener... I will have to flash the BIOS for sure, won't I?
I'm just trying to cover my bases and not brick my board (although I read that you can always use flashback to fix a brick if it does happen, is this true?) I've read a lot of scary stuff in regards to flashing BIOS so I was hoping for some reassurance. Thanks everyone for the help with this.
