    Recently one of my RAM sticks died and I couldn't get it replaced since I removed the id sticker... So, now I need another 8gb stick and I found the same RAM on another site but I'm not sure if it would work with my current stick. I think the timings and the voltage is the same so would I run...

    Is updating BIOS necessary in a new build?

    I'm not 100% sure but I think my motherboard is on BIOS 3.20 right now. Anyways, If there are no issues I won't upgrade and I don't think I will ever need the 3.30 version's new feature. Thank you all for the help, this forum has really helped me a lot for this new build.
