Consider updating your motherboard's BIOS. Your Gigabyte Z390 gaming X Rev 1.1 board runs BIOS version F9, which may need the latest changes for stability and security.

Not unless you have a reason to.

Generally no, updating bios isn't usually necessary. In some cases, newer bios perform worse than older ones—my DS4P F9A bios lag behind the F4 and F4 have better oc performance compared to F9A. Still, I’ll crossflash to UD3P or DQ6 eventually.

Unless it's an update to add support for a specific CPU you're planning to use or adding stability/compatibility for RAM... generally no. In corporate settings maybe as BIOS updates for business machines typically come with FW vulnerability patches. But that's not the case here.
