As mentioned previously, some things can happen during a BIOS flash, and potentially brick the motherboard. Performing the update will be at your own risk.It also means any fan speed adjustments we've made, or any secure boot/TPM settings we've enabled or disabled will be reset.

This means systems that ship with a RAID/Optane configuration will likely default to AHCI and could result in a boot error if you do not manually change this setting back.

Our BIOS default values will be overwritten.

Now with all of that in mind, you can absolutely perform a BIOS update using a BIOS from the board manufacturer, but there are a few things to keep in mind. That last one may sound obvious, but some recent motherboards ship with unlimited current values by default, which can be pretty harmful if you are overclocking and don't pay attention. The BIOS we include has been thoroughly tested to ensure all of the advertised features of the board works, all of the ports are properly mapped (if you do any VM work, you'll really enjoy that), and we make sure no potentially harmful options are enabled by default. We generally do not recommend performing a BIOS update unless you have an important reason to do so, as the process itself can be pretty risky depending on your board and whether it has crashless features/backup BIOS EEPROM's, you experience any power failures during the process, or unintended bugs that may arise in new BIOS updates (memory training issues, fan speed bugs, voltage/current issues, etc). An example of this would be security vulnerabilities (Spectre, Meltdown, etc) and critical bug fixes.

Typically speaking, we do not provide BIOS updates for our systems unless a specific need for an update arises. Welcome to the forum this is a great question. Just wondering how to keep the board current with an updated BIOS. The computer has a B360M Pro-VH system board from MSI, but seems to have a custom BIOS not from MSI. I have a Powerspec PC that I have upgraded but I was wondering how to go about updating the BIOS.
