#1 | NVME on Gigabyte GA-Z77-HD3-Rev1.0 datum

I've come across this forum while trying to modify the BIOS of my ageing Gigabyte GA-Z77-HD3 motherboard to support NVME.

I came across this tutorial, through which I downloaded my current BIOS, and the BIOS for a GA-Z97-HD3. From the latter I have extracted the required Nvme.ffs, NvmeSmm.ffs, and NVMEINT13.ffs files.

However, when I try to follow the next step, I am presented with the error "File size exceeds the volume size", which seems to be common. From what I've read, I need to delete a couple of existing modules within my motherboard's standard BIOS to make room for the NVME modules?

I'm not sure which modules I can delete however, and would appreciate advice. Other posts seem to suggest deleting network boot options (which I don't use myself either), but I'm not sure of the module names in my BIOS.

I've generated a report from my motherboard's BIOS using MMTOOL:

This is my first time trying to edit BIOS files, so any general advice is greatly appreciated. If the BIOS mod works I'd be happy to provide it on the forum for other users.

A secondary question: If I understand it correctly, this mod should allow me to boot from an NVME drive using a PCIe 4x slot on my motherboard. If I am unable to mod the BIOS however, would the drive still work as a secondary drive i.e. to install games on, but not the OS? Without a BIOS patch, would the NVME drive work, or only in ACHI mode, or not at all?

@piphil:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
Why did you follow an absolutely outdated guide, which has been copied from this Forum a long time ago by someone, who never had own experience about what he had written.
If you want to know the easiest and safest way to get full NVMe support for your Z77 chipset mainboartd, I recommend to look into the start post of >this< thread. There you can find as well tips about how to get more space for the insertion of additional EFI modules, if you should get the "File size exceeds the volume size" message.
By the way: The insertion of all 3 NVMe modules (Nvme, NvmeSmm and NVMEINT13) doesn't make much sense for mainboard BIOSes, which natively do not fully support NVMe. You will get all possible benefits by inserting just the NvmExpressDxe_3 module.

Yes. Precondition: You have to run an OS, which natively supports NVMe (like Win10), or an OS, where you installed the matching NVMe driver.

Without the BIOS modding the SSD will be usable as storage drive (provided, that the NVMe driver is in-the-box or installed), but you will not be able to boot off the NVMe SSD.

Hi Fernando,

Thanks for your quick reply. I am busy this weekend, but when I have time I will follow your more up to date tutorial I will do so and report back here. I haven't bought the NVME SSD yet, as I wanted to make sure if it would work before spending the money, so I can't test the modded BIOS, but I will at least be able to see if it flashes successfully.

Here is my modded bios for Gigabyte Z77-HD3 rev 1.0:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/sodbiqob5gp7szh/z77hd3-f3.zip
It's based on a unofficial F3 bios found on softpedia. Added NVME support from a newer Z79 bios. It's works like a charm with my Patriot Hellfire 240Gb M.2 SSD inserted on the fastest PCIe slot (moved video card to a slower one).
If Windows won't install you must safe erase SSD with software provided by manufacturer (in my case patriot toolbox).
Have fun!

@adig1971:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum and thanks for your contribution.
Maybe it would be a good idea for other users with a Gigabyte Z77-HD3 mainboard to offer your modded BIOS within >this< Subforum.

hi, I have a Gigabyte Z77-HD3 rev 1.0 + Intel E3 1230 V2 + Window 10 HOME x64 (Samsung EVO 850 Pro 1T)
i recently purchased Samsung EVO 970 PLUS 1T + Pcie 3.0 adopter card.
i have the 970 working as a storage drive but after many attempts still cant get it to work as a boot drive. please help??

i've downloaded the F3 bios from adig1971 (thank you), went into the bios setup and successfully installed the F3 bios (showed PATA SS)
i then removed the EVO 850 and left with only the 970 PLUS (which i cloned using Samsung Migration)
rebooted and entered setting ......but i dont see "Windows Boot Manger
what am i doing wrong?

@tokyoxtc "Cloned" is your first mistake and probably all that's holding you back. Please follow this guide, step #4 doing all things in #4 exactly as mentioned (ie clean install, formatted drive first, GPT, BIOS settings etc)
[Guide] How to get full NVMe support for all Systems with an AMI UEFI BIOS

Please don't send PM's for help on BIOS edits, I can't help with BIOS in PM's. Please make a thread and I will try to help as soon as I can - thanks!
If you appreciate my efforts and are willing to donate to help improve my hardware, gift cards work for me (Amazn, NuEgg, eBa) - send me a PM

hi, i followed #4 as mentioned (formatted an USB FAT 32, created a windows. iso file, formatted the 970 plus (converted it GPT)
i booted from the usb (rufus with windows iso, GPT setting) and successfully installed a new windows 10 on the 970
but i ran into a problem...

after the install was done......As i took out the usb, rebooted the DT with only 970 ( without the old 950)....it couldnt find anything bootable
in the bios....it didnt have anything bootable drive listed as windows boot manager (ony had the dvd drive shown)

Sounds like maybe you didn't remove all other drives before you started the process. Or, you need to do again but this time delete all volumes/partitions and have raw disk, then let windows setup the GPT partitions itself

@Fernando could tell you for sure what happened I bet, since he's very familiar with this process and all the possible errors and their causes.
