I've just got my brand new Asus Z97- PRO Gamer motherboard, I was thinking if I should update my BIOS to the newest one available ? Would it help me to get better overclocking results / motherboard stability ? Or should I leave the BIOS just as it is ?

BTW : My CPU is i5-4670k.
 
Solution
You should pretty much always update it, it'll allow for better everything, bug fixes, stability and whatever else updates do, so yes.

I had high voltages to the cpu 4790K with original bios on my Asus Z97-PRO GAMER resulting high temperatures.
After updating to 2202 bios, almost 20C lower temperatures at high load.

This may also be due some bad settings @ bios, but I had everything on auto with the old and the new one.

But yeah, If the original bios works with your setup, it is fine.
