Are BIOSes from the same manufacturer for the same chipset compatible?

There's more to the BIOS than just making the chipset and CPU operate. It initializes all motherboard peripherals too including network, audio, Super_IO, SMBus, etc as well as the VRM's for each of the peripherals including memory as well as CPU and chipset.
You're probably better off hitting one of the Reddit overclocking forums, e.g.,

No, each bios isn't written with a checksum for compliance with the motherboard. It's similar to a small software component that helps the hardware function optimally.
Checksum remains an issue only if the size difference is substantial.

I'm curious if it's possible to just swap out the CPU microcodes this time, then determine where to adjust the maximum voltages.
Beyond just setting up the chipset and CPU, the BIOS also configures all motherboard peripherals such as network, audio, Super_IO, SMBus, etc., along with VRM settings for each device—including memory, CPU, and chipset. For more detailed information, consider checking overclocking communities like Reddit’s r/overclocking or forums on overclock.net, where you can find discussions about BIOS modifications.
Updating the BIOS version can be quite dangerous, even if done correctly! I wouldn’t consider using a BIOS version for a different board.
