Hi,

CPU: I7 6700K
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170M DH3 (http://)

I bought this motherboard with CPU right when they come out here in Europe, 8th August. There are few newer versions of BIOS which i was waiting before OC'ing my CPU and RAM. I heard that there were some problems with XMP memory profiles of some rams so i haven't even enabled the XMP profiule of my G.Skill Ripjaws(2x8GB 3000MHz CL15).

It is a pain in the ass reinstalling windows 10 for me, is it safe to not reinstall windows after BIOS update?
 
Solution
You don't need to reinstall Windows after updating your BIOS.
The Operating System has nothing to do with your BIOS.

P.S : I never reinstalled windows after BIOS updates
