No and i don't think there will ever be any new update in the future for the Samsung NVME module. The reason why is explained in this post.

Thank you for the swift reply.

I have read this whole post and followed everything down to the T, and for some reason the BIOS refuse to install! I'm on the verge of giving up, I tried Bios Flashback, it didn't work I guess because of the USB stick I have so I tried Afuwin, Afuwin clearly showed that it successfully installed the BIOS but nothing ,not even the 2 rog screens ,I even tried flashing the bios using ai suite technique and nothing. Idk what to do.

I have an Asus Crosshair V formula Z
FX9590 CPU

Im trying to flash the latest version because it has all modules added so it should just work , Correct ? And again I followed everything to the T . help please

I also realized my UEFI SSD only shows when I enable fast boot

@Codyoco1

Some things you can verify:

- For Flashback, be sure the Bios C5FZ.CAP is in the main directory on your USB key.

- Be sure you are using the Flashback USB port behind your PC.

- You can try to format your USB key in FAT32.

Thank you for the quick reply all,everything you said is in place and verified like I said ,everything to a T ,I'm tech savy ,so thats why I'm frustrated, cause idk what's going on or if I'm missing something

My only other hope right now is too buy a 1gb 2.0 flash drive and see if it works with bios flashback. I have a 8gb 2.0 and a 32gb 3.0

@Codyoco1

Ah, i see what you think... You are considering the possibility that your USB keys are too big to work with Flashback. Hard to know if it is the case but you have another hope that don't require you to buy anything. You can try this trick as a workaround:

Try to partition your USB key so that the first partition in FAT32 that Flashback will try will be of reasonable size. It is worth a try...

OK got it I'll do that right now. Thanks

Well it was worth the try I guess I'm still getting 6 blinks,then that's it. I just don't know, do you think I should try my USB 2.0 8gb ? Do the partition on it then covert it to an MBR format.
I've tried both GPT and MBR none works ,the only difference is I haven't tried MBR on my 2.0, sigh Jesus Christ I hope this works

@Codyoco1

It is worth a try.

Well my 2.0 refuses to convert to MBR.I'm using diskpart. I got no other tricks up my sleeve it is indeed frustrating. I think I'm giving up now. It was fun while it lasted ,been trying for 3 days straight 🤷‍♂️, guess it wasn't meant to be.

So just an update I only got it to work with using Clover,I'm happy but wish I could of just done the bios. Clover worked great except my ram is 8gb and only 4gb usable . but cheers for the reply

@Codyoco1

I am glad you found a way to make it work.

@Arx

Did you ever get this working? This is the only other case of Linux with NVME on a CVFZ board I could find online.

I tried installing Linux standalone before windows on a NVME - it would install, but when rebooted it would fail to find the bootsector. Did you try using Clover?

Windows installed & boots fine from the bios entry as expected.

In the words of XKCD 979 - what did you see?

EDIT: Never mind, figured it out - the Linux USB installation stick must be started in UFEI mode from the BIOS, and then it will install a ~500mb EFI bootloader partition at the beginning of the drive, and it's own boot entry in the BIOS, like the WIndows entry where it's separate to the drive name.

Can confirm this works with WD_Black SN750 NVME drives
