Yes, the BIOS has been updated.
Yes, the BIOS has been updated.
You just received a brand new board, or someone refreshed the bios before it arrived. It's not the newest version, F56a is the current one, but F55 meets the basic requirements.
Sure, I'm okay with F55. I don't think I'm very lucky—if I try to update the BIOS, the power might drop or a meteorite could hit our house. Plus, it's storm season, and the power isn't very reliable here. Cheers!
