Question Is it okay to jump Bios versions?

[ATIEagle]

Hello everyone, I've finally found newer bios versions for my GB X570 Aorus Elite mb this evening. For the longest time, I've been on F37C, since I couldn't find any newer versions of the bios, since GB hasn't posted their bios updates on the Gigabyte website, rather, I had to go to the Aorus website instead. F37C is pretty outdated, yet I like to have things up to date, is it worth updating to F38H, If so, can I jump to that instead of updating one by one until I reach F38H? I don't have any issues with my board, aside from RGB ram not being detected, but I think that's the software side.

Thanks for responding!

Read the install notes that are typically with each update to make sure one isn't a 'bridge' or a have to be installed before others.

It can be OK or not OK.

Did you dig deeply into the BIOS info for a clue on whether it is OK?

......"yet I like to have things up to date"........... Is that your strongest reason?

As always, refer to the manufacturer,

Verify this is the correct motherboard and BIOS.

I see no "F37C"

well, the install notes are very vague, only listing 1-3 different things, but nothing relating to a 'bridge'. It's mostly AMD Agesa V2 stuff, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D optimization, security updates, and checksums. I'm pretty ignorant of the checksum stuff. Maybe it isn't worth it if nothing is broken.

Oopsie, accidentally deleted my reply. Gigabyte has other updates on their Aorus website for some reason. https://www.aorus.com/en-us/motherboards/X570-AORUS-ELITE-rev-10/Support F37C is on there.

That link does not work for me.

But....BIOS updates are generally...if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

If you DO need to update, you do it exactly as the manufacturer states.
If there is a step in the middle, you do that.

Oh alrighty, I'll look into it, thanks!
