    I don't think you can find Prema vBIOS anywhere.
    @Mr. Fox Any ideas???

    No. But, that is by design. And, most of the people that have it honor their agreement with @Prema not to distribute it. A few bad apples ruined it for the masses.

    @ OP please stop posting my firmware here. It's against the TOS and I also no longer support it due to hardware revision changes. Apart from that you already have the last version 2.There is no newer one.

    You can ask what bios is best for your system, but posting your current bios is NOT allowed. I have removed it from your post, don't post it again. If you have questions feel free to PM me.

    There is version 2 of the vBIOS but download links are nowhere to be found.
