is Bios upgrade needed on my part for AMD 9600x bundle Mobo asus-b650m-a-prime-ax-ii?

Simple question, eyeing this bundle for my friend as a budget build, want to confirm if the firmware is upgraded already.

    Depends on the shipping BIOS, I believe this one would POST with the shipping BIOS. I'm actually testing RAM on these bundles internally. If it doesn't here's what you do.

    1. Turn the PC off.
    2. Download the latest BIOS from ASUS.com.
    3. Run the BIOS renamer tool included with the download.
    4. Copy the renamed file to a FAT32 formatted flash drive.
    5. Insert the flash drive in the port labeled "BIOS".
    6. Press and hold the BIOS flashback button until the light starts to flash.
    7. This takes 3-5 minutes. When it stops you can power on the system normally.
