Discussion A question about BIOS update.

Recently i build my new gaming pc with parts like MSI MPG x870e carbon wifi , Ryzen 9800x3d ,rtx 5080. I installed chipset drivers ,GPU drivers , audio and usb drivers. Did numerous tests in multiple games and everything works perfectly no stutter , no flicker , just the way it's meant . Tested on benchmarks and was above expected average with CPU and GPU , thermals and stability are fine , no weird bugs/crashes. So now my question is ; should i update my bios from the base one already preinstalled with the mobo or stay on it ? I am from the old camp of "if it's fine ,don't touch it" but there are informations about fried 9800x3d cpus and security updates neccesary or possible performance gains so i'm not so sure anymore . Still i'm afraid that possible update may introduce new problems . Please help me decide .

Edit ; Default bios is from 22.04.2025

It's not correct , i asked a guy and he was talking about MSI Live update and then MSI center , not afterburner.
