I have an Asus M32AD computer with an Asus H81M-E motherboard. I was wondering on how to change from the Asus M32AD BIOS https://www.asus.com/us/Tower-PCs/M32AD/HelpDesk_Download/ (BIOS it came with) to H81M-E default BIOS https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H81ME/HelpDesk_Download/ if that makes sense.
Reason why is my current BIOS will not let me change fan speed or voltage and it seems like you can under the H81M-E's defualt BIOS http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/asrock-b85m-dgs-asrock-h81m-hds-asus-h81m-e-msi-h91m-e34,4099-5.html

I would advise against it -you could possibly render some components useless. The second to latest BIOS "Version 0504", added support/compatibilty for PCIE devices (GFX cards, sound cards, and other things might not work if you do).

Pick OS, then expand BIOS section, and you can see this.

Let me rephrase that...will it be okay if I update my pre-built PC (Asus M32AD) current BIOS to the motherboard name BIOS (ASUS H81M-E) using a usb flash drive?
