For the Intel NUC7i7BNH, does anyone know if there is a benefit to upgrade the BIOS to the latest 0050 version?

Did you read the release notes?  What is your current BIOS version?

Yes I read the notes. Not sure if the changes make a difference. I have 0046.

 

Thanks

You might want to get more current.  Version 47 includes a microcode update to fix a problem with hyperthreading.  You want that fix unless you turn hyperthreading off.  Usually, I don't update the BIOS unless I am having a problem.  You can google for more information about the Skylake/Kaby Lake hyperthreading issue.

 

Got it. Thanks. I'll look into it!

I updated my NUC7i7BNH from Version 46 to Version 50 with out any problems. Roon ROCK is working great. Thanks for the help.
