    Do not confuse the mobo manufacturer with the BIOS maker. A mobo maker can use any one the available BIOSes makes. But the BIOS is modified for the board maker to the specific needs of the mobo.
    You should always get your BIOS update from your mobo maker and for your specific board.
    I wouldn't flash the mobo unless you really need to because there is a serious risk of damaging your board if it is not done right.

    If you must do it then follow your mobo makers instructions to the letter.

    Good luck
