I have Gateway FX6800-1e computer with X58 + ICH10R storage controller. I have the computer set up to boot from SSD connected to SATA3 controller inserted into PCI slot. Also I have 2x1Tb spindle HDDs connected in RAID0 to ICH10R ports for storage. I wanted to upgrade 2x1Tb (RAID0) drives to 2x3Tb (RAID0) drives. I discovered that the firmware of the ICH10R was limiting my drive sizes. Using this thread I modded original BIOS (latest Gateway which is derivative of AMI) containing ver8.XX firmware to ver.11.XX. Mod was successful and the controlled setup can be accessed and it properly sees the 3Tb drives and is able to set them up in RAID0. My problem is that when in ICH10R RAID mode I'm not able to setup the PCI SATA3 (with SSD on it) controller as boot device (BIOS is not seeing it) but it works fine when in AHCI mode. Please note that this setup worked fine with ver8.XX firmware. Anything I can check or do correct?

BTW: I was able to connect SSD to ICH10R port bypassing SATA3 controller but when setup in RAID mode it does BSOD while booting since drive was setup as AHCI during OS (W8.1) installation. For now I did set up my 3TB drives as AHCI (non RAID) to get it to work.

Thank you for your help.

Fernando,
Thank you.

I inserted v 11.2.0.1527 without TRIM mod.
I'm more interested to be able to use Inter RAID for storage drives and be able to connect boot SSD to PCI SATA3 controller. I wondered is there is way to get mobo to recognize and use Sata3 card as boot device (like before)

Thank you again for your quick response.
