Hi Dave
I built this computer from scratch, does it automatically have default settings?

Yes it does, you only need to update the BIOS if you have running problems

Hi Jack06
You should not need to flash the BIOS on a new Motherboard as you would have purchased your Motherboard to coincide with your needs, also BIOS upgrade may void your motherboard warranty.
