    P34G (v1) BIOS changelog anywhere?

    Hey guys, haven't posted here in a while. Still using my P34G I bought in Fall 2013, still on the 305 BIOS, looks like I'm a few versions behind at this point.

    Is there a changelog somewhere? Have the fan temperature thresholds been further tweaked (I hope)?

    Kind of worried about updating through Smart Update, has anyone experienced issues with it pulling the BIOS for the v2 instead of v1?

    I would not flash a V2 BIOS on a V1. You're asking to brick your laptop.

    As for flashing via Smart Update, that's how I've been flashing and have had no issues.

    Curiously the latest BIOS is BF306/ EF207 which was updated on 2015/05/11. On my V1 I have BF308/ EF207 which was available a while back. Not sure if that's a mixup on their end or if they accidentally released an update they didn't mean to.

    Obviously I'm not going to intentionally flash a V2 BIOS onto a V1. My concern was Smart Update potentially grabbing a V2 BIOS inadvertently.
