Your CPU is a Ryzen 3700X, built on a Zen 2 architecture. Updating the BIOS to version 1.1.0.0 for the MSI B450M Mortar Max should improve stability and security, but it may not significantly boost performance over the current 1.0.0.0 release. For Ryzen 5000 series users, the latest BIOS is generally recommended for optimal compatibility and features.
AGESA 1.0.0.6 was launched in May 2017. Your CPU was released in July 2019, meaning the version you're using doesn't include the Zen 2 updates AMD added after release—let alone the Zen+ patches. For FTR 1.0.8.0, which targets Zen 2, upgrade to 1.1.0.0 right away. When updating the BIOS, download the newest B450 chipset driver from AMD and install it as well.
For AMD you might actually need to do this often, as many enhancements are included in recent updates.
