So i've been looking into bios modding as i want to have nvme support on my ecs z77h2 a2x deluxe 2.0 , as seen in this post :[Discussion] NVMe BIOS Modules and NVMe Support.

The only problem is that ecs isn't exactly a popoular brand by any means , so i was wondering if i could use one of the modded bios files made for an msi board or an asus board etc, as long as it is based on an ami bios.

You can extract the desired NVMe BIOS modules from any other mainboard BIOS and insert them into the BIOS of your mainboard (hoping, that it works for your system), but you should never try to flash a BIOS, which has been designed for another mainboard.

hello ,
I don' t want to sound like an idiot , but after doing a little bit of research and reading your post , i installed mmtool and loaded a z97 bios made for an ecs z97 board.
The only problem is that there is no module named something like "nvme"( i found "nvmerecovery" on a z170 board bios , but that was it).
Can i use an nvme module from a different board and insert them into my bios ?

Best regards ,
Luc

If you don't find an ECS mainboard BIOS, which contains the NVMe modules, you can inset modules, which were taken from a BIOS of another mainboard manufacturer. Anyway there is no guarantee, that it will work for your system.

The only problem is that , when i try to insert the module , i get the"file size exceeds volume size" error .

If you cannot insert the modules into the BIOS (not even in compressed form), you may have to remove some unneeded BIOS modules (like the Intel EFI RAID module named SataDriver or RaidDriver).

I'll be testing it in a few days when i get my 950 pro.
