[rocckstar]

I have msi b560m bazooka mobo and new bios update will update cpu microcode.. Do i really need it if I use it mainly my pc for gaming.. Is it necessary? Processor is i7 11700f.

if you don´t wanna upgrade to a newer gen CPU, the BIOS update might not be needed, and if you don´t have problems with it, don´t update.

Will it help gaming performance?

not likely, on such old board. Maybe OC is getting better
but you can update and find out
