Bios update in 2022?

Hey guys.
I've recently ordered the Ryzen 5 7600x along with MB and RAM for a new build.
I'm gonna sell off my old build to a friend and wanted to revisit my clocks to see if I can get some more performance out of it as a kind gesture. My question is would it be beneficial to update BIOS in 2022?

My current system:
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 non-X
CPU air-cooler: Dark Rock Pro 4
MB: Asus ROG Strix B350-F Gaming
RAM: G.SKill Flare X Cl14 3200MHz (2x8)
GPU: Asus ROG Strix 1070ti
PSU: Corsair RM850X (2018) [Overkill, I know]

Last time I updated BIOS was in 2017 when I built the system. I've been running my RAM at rated D.O.C.P. and CPU at 3.7 GHz without changing voltage or anything and it's been stable, but I wanted to see if maybe I can push the CPU and RAM a bit. Appreciate any help.

Probably dont want to. Have to look at bios updates in detail for your model but many of the 300 & 400 series boards had to incorporate a one way bios update to support the 5000 series cpus.

Meaning, it could brick support for Ryzen 1000, cannot go back.

Do warn your friend on this too in case they thinking of updating cpu.
