I checked the latest BIOS info for your MB gigabyte Z790 gaming x ax rev.1. The most recent version was released on July 8, 2024 (f11d). Since your CPU is an i7 14700kf and you haven’t experienced any issues, there’s no need to update unless you want the latest features. The attached photo shows the new settings.
