Theres a new bios update, for my motherboard. http://www.service.asus.com/#!downloads/c1wax
It provides no changelogs, which is kind of stupid, but, its called life. The only thing it says is "Improve System Stability". I don't got an OS installed yet, never overclocked, so, everything is completely new. Should i download the latest bios? Thanks in advanced!

If the board is unused and still under warrenty, update away. Better to know now if it is the odd one that bricks, even tho its now rare.
If it isnt under any warrenty, forget about it and use it. The bios update will make a tiny difference at best, and not worth the sod's law (fails when it costs) risk.

Heres the thing though, i heard you shouldnt update bios before installing your OS. Its either a do or dont. Like mentioned before, this improves stability. Can i find out if i have those issues? Perhaps, by installing the OS, but you shouldnt update the bios when you have the os installed aready.
