Aurora R3, modded A07 Bios?

Does anyone have the modded A07 Bios for the Aurora R3 which enables support for uefi, and upgrades the raid controller. If so, would you mind sending it to me!

Thanks!!

    The warm reboot issue is specific to the R3 and Win10 (and before that Win 8).

    The problem re-emerges with subsequent Win 10 updates.  The workaround is to shutdown and then power up the machine.  Otherwise R3 runs Win 10 fine.

    Yes, I remember the issue and that thread. That is why I just posted about recent experiences with the XPS-8300. I believe the issue can be cured.

    The Aurora R3 has a buggy system BIOS that cannot cope with the hybrid vBIOS firmware on recent AMD Radeon cards. It is possible to modify the RX580 firmware to work with the aurora R3 (I've done it on an RX480 with the same issue) but hex editing the card firmware is risky, make a mistake and you can brick the card.

    See this post on the win-raid forums for more details.
