It’s not necessarily bad to refresh your bios if you notice they’re outdated, especially on older systems. Updating can bring stability improvements mentioned online. However, it might feel excessive if your hardware is performing well. Consider your needs before making the change. Thanks!

If stability remains intact, it’s best to let things stand. Fixing a BIOS update isn’t as straightforward as updating software. I usually avoid BIOS changes unless there’s a problem or a security advisory applies. Right now, BIOS updates are less risky and simpler than before. If you choose to proceed, please check the manufacturer’s support site and follow their steps carefully. I understand this isn’t a clear-cut answer—it depends on your specific situation and expertise. Personally, I’ve only done a few BIOS updates when necessary.

Typically, x79 boards lack secure boot functionality out of the box, and they were developed prior to the W8 release.

It seems like you're considering a particular setup. The main problem is that your external USB 3.0 drive isn't behaving well when you enable UASP. It's a small issue, but it might be worth checking before making any changes.

They’d probably handle it fine, though a small hiccup could become a bigger problem like BIOS corruption or bad flashing. It seems like the x79 BIOS was known for flashing difficulties—possibly due to changes in the process or an earlier generation. I’m not sure if that’s accurate, but it might have been around then. /shrug
