Any time you flash a BIOS there is a chance of turning the motherboard into
a brick. The chances are low if take the right precautions but it does
happen. I've flashed hundreds of BIOS' and I have seen two bricked
motherboards. Whether or not to flash the BIOS depends on your aversion to
this risk vs. your need for the bug fixes or new features in the newer BIOS.
