It generally is good to update BIOS when you get the MB before setting it up. If something goes wrong, you still can return it. If you have any issues, you at least can exclude the BIOS in trouble shooting. After you set up the PC and all works, I wouldn't bother unless there are issues being fixed by new BIOS (this is likely with brand new platforms), security patched, or you install new CPU etc I Personally update BIOS (along with drivers) if there is some really hard to pinpoint issue. Usually doesn't help, but at least excludes those as causes Never touch a running system. Think of it, 99% if users don't even know what BIOS is and never update. And if they have computer issues, 99.99999% of those are not resolved by new BIOS.
