Hi there.
Currently have an asrock z370 killer sli/ac housing an i7-8086k processsor but I'm looking to sell it off relatively soon and upgrade to the upcoming 9900k. I know the new chip will be compatible with z370 boards but I would need to download the latest BIOS update (3.20), correct?
Is it difficult to download this update? I looked at the "how to" section on the asrock website but it says that I shouldn't try to download updates if my system is working correctly. I've also read some horror stories of people trying to update their BIOS on other boards and bricking their motherboard.
Is the 3.20 update what I need for the 9th generation cpu's? Can anyone recommend a user friendly guide for updating your BIOS? And lastly, is it really that risky trying to do this myself? I wouldn't want to ruin my system over it.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/advice.
