I’m running ROCK on a NUC7i7BNH for over 18 months now.
I see there have been several BIOS updates since.
Do we need to update the BIOS or is that taken care of by the ROCK updates?
These instructions are for the initial installation of ROCK if I’m not mistaken. I’m wondering if we need to install BIOS updates once ROCK is up and running.
I don’t think its really necessary, though having said that, I’ve just updated mine to BN0078, and didn’t notice any difference- the release notes had something about energy star compliance.

No need, unless you want to do it…

Don’t if you’re not experiencing an issue that you have reasons to believe it’ll be fixed by a BIOS update.
BIOS update is always risky. In the worst case you’ll kill the motherboard even if you do all the steps correctly. This actually happened to my coworker.

I didn’t update my NUC BIOS when I installed ROCK, no problems.
However, all NUCs that I’ve had run a utility in the background that will notify about and optionally update components, i.e. BIOS, drivers, etc.
When I get nudged I update as a matter of course, with no problems, even in the case of BIOS updates.
I must admit I never look at the Bios once I am up and running. I don’t think there is any point unless I have an issue that needs fixing.
