I tend to not like to flash a bios unless its very much needed. I have a asus maximus v11 hero motherboard. bios is dated 2015. should I flash it? I'm running windows 10. just curious what everyone else here thinks.

When ive sold boards in the past once ive finished with them, ive always found they sell easier and quicker with the latest bios installed, the next user then will know they're not going to have any problems running their parts on it.
