This board supports Asus' EZFlash2 so you just need to put the update on a USB stick and point the current BIOS at it
https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1008279

Current BIOS update is 4802
Side note:  When it comes to flashing a new BIOS on a motherboard, I stick with "Si non confectus, non reficiat."  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

BIOS flashing is for times when (a) the hardware absolutely needs a new feature only available in a later revision of a BIOS, or (b) it fixes a specific well-defined problem that is known to exist on this particular system.  If a BIOS flash fails for any reason at all, it's too easy to end up with a  useless brick.

Many users don't seem to realize that once Windows loads the BIOS is completely out of the picture.  The BIOS operates over a very short period - from the time the power button is pressed, to the time that Windows starts to load itself.
