i am planning to get a new 12th gen i5 cpu(most likely 12400) and a gigabyte b760 motherboard in the near future.
Do i need to install the latest bios updates for this board to ensure the cpu doesn't degrade or go bad over time? Or are such updates required only if i am using a 13th or 14th gen processor?
I observed that in gigabyte's newer bios versions,it has been including intel's 0x129 microcode patch to prevent elevated voltage usage in 13th/14th gen cpus. Has anyone tried this newer update? Is it safe to install or could it potentially cause more unforeseen issues in the long run?
Please advice whether i should stick to the default bios included with the motherboard,or upgrade to the newer version just for the sake of safety?
