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!!

I've never seen it.
I decided it was a joke or vapor-ware.
Why do you think you need it?

Oh.
Well, I've never seen UEFI added to a machine (that never had it before) by a late BIOS update. That's one of the reasons I think this fabled BIOS update was a joke.
I don't think Nvidia cards (GTX-1050/1060/1070/1080 or TI versions) have this problem.

The main concerns around the R3 is its age, RAID strip is no longer working, processor liquid cooling probably need a replacement soon, etc. Thermals are still looking good with OC level 2 selected.
Warm restart still fails under Win 10 due to some of the old drivers. May sound like more trouble going forward. Not planning to update to version 1803.

I'm not seeing that on my Dell Vostro-460/XPS-8300 . IIRC, motherboard and chipset is very similar to Aurora-R3. Turning off the OC might help.

Different machine, but my Aurora-R1 still works fine. It is very loaded/upgraded/current. Disabling Windows Fast-Startup seems to help with MIO-Board initialization and Power-Mode detection (Off/On/Sleep/Wake).

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.
