    If you don't encounter any issues with the current BIOS(e.g system freezes, unexpected restarts) I wouldn't advice you to update.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.

    Hi,
    If your system works without any issues and the updates are irrelevant to you, I would suggest you to leave as it is because in some cases newer BIOS fared worse than older BIOS for some members in the past.

    Hi,
    I don't think the high temperature during games will be reduced by BIOS update, you could try undervolting and/or repasting the CPU might reduce the temperatures, anyway, please wait for replies from someone more familiar with gaming for further advice.

    You can check the temperatures from NitroSense. If it doesn't rise above 90C for the CPU and 85C for the GPU, then it is fine.

    Yes, for now i dont have any problem. 

    But I just need to check my temperature while playing.  From what I remember when playing Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts I had 80-90.  My last laptop was core2duo :) so now I do not know what the temperature should be during the game
