@chuckbam - please link to BIOS you need in this thread, or give the post #

I would like the modded P9X79 BIOS 4801 dated 2014/07/28. That is the last Asus P9X79 bios released. All I need is updated for NVMe SSD booting. But, other updates are ok.

Thank You

looks like the file was posted in #2

@chuckbam - the BIOS at post #2 on page one of this thread is still there, attached at bottom of his post and it's hosted by this site so download still works fine and I checked to confirm it too.

Why do I get the message "Zurück zur Forum Übersicht " ?
-----------------
Sorry, it works in Firefox. got it Thank You

@chuckbam - That means "Back to Forum Overview", not sure why you would be redirected like that, maybe some glitch with the browser you were using and this site?
Glad you were able to download finally I was going to download it and re-upload it for you if you couldn't get it, but I wasn't sure if you maybe just didn't see that attached file link or not

I modded the latest bios v_4801 beta from the manufacturers website...

EFI and ROMs updated as per the picture as I'm too lazy to type by hand!


CPU microcodes updated as follows in the picture, which again is way too much to type:


All courtesy of UBU v1.73_2 which made this rather painless once you've done the learning curve...


NVMe functionality via ------> NVMe mod to run UEFI NVMe SSDs using module NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs dated 04/18/2018 inserted after CSMCORE for this Aptio IV UEFI/BIOS

You will have to set CSM (Compatibility Support Mode) to DISABLED in your bios. Then you will see "Windows BOOT MANAGER" to install the OS. Make sure to convert all your drives from MBR (Master Boot Record) to GPT (GUI Partition Table) or the UEFI enabled OS won't 'see' the MBR partitions.


Enjoy your NVMe capable drive!

As always BACKUP your drives and old bios BEFORE flashing...

Good luck and much success![thumbs-up]

I flashed the Bios with the mod and my Intel 600p NVMe drive shows up in the bios and boots ! I have a hyper m.2 x4 card. Could I use the hyper m.2 x 16 ? Would I need a Bifurcation Mod ?

@chuckbam - yes, you need this BIOS - http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=22813479928448371943
Flash via USB Flahback

Thanks a bunch. I looked and see the Bios P9X79.CAP. But what is the P9X79.md5 ?

That is checksum file, so you could check MD5 checksum to be sure file you downloaded is OK, nothing needed for flashing, I'm sure it's fine

OK thanks, Later I will load it and buy a hyper m.2 x 16 and report my success.

Hi, I have been reading these fascinating forum posts for the past few weeks and decided to bite the bullet and get an NVME PCIe card and Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500Gb.
I have a dual boot Windows 10 and Windows7 both x64. In windows 10 it can see the drive ok and in Windows 7 I installed the Samsung NVMe driver and that can now also see the drive however I have not yet formatted the drive.
Now the crucial part, I brought my BIOS up to v4502 using EZ-Flash and then v4801 using EZ-Flash. All is well so far. Then using the same USB stick used for flashing v4502 I reformatted and copied over Hancor's modded BIOS from post #2 using USB Flashback port. The flashback started ok but after approx. 1 minute the light went to constant the BIOS update had failed.

I switched off and re-flashed v4801 which took ok so the BIOS has restored. Since other people using this BIOS are not reporting this issue I guess it is something at my end, so am wondering where do I go next?

I have a Asus P9X79 with the 4701 mod bios. I have 2 m.2 NVMe cards with a 600p and a 760p and can boot from both. Flash with the USB botton.

@chuckbam
Thank you for your response Chuckbam.
Hancor did state that he had modded the Beta v4801 which is the one I am trying to use here.
I understand from these forum posts the safest way to attempt this is to use the Asus Flashback USB port (white) and the flashback button as it does not check the file and this is the one that I used for Hancor's modded v4801 however I had no luck with it.

Hi! i read everything, but can't upload mod and plug my new Samsung 860 evo 500 gb to my asus P9X79.
i bought PCI-E M.2 NGFF for SSD Bulk.

i try @hancor modd
also
tryed this three methods from [Guide] How to flash a modded AMI UEFI BIOS
also try BIOS 4801 and BUIS 4701.... nothing happens.

i want to use just like storage.
