@Jerzy:
Since Lost_N_BIOS is offline since several weeks, it may be a better idea to ask the Forum member haVck for the modded BIOS via PM.
Alternatively you can do the BIOS modification yourself by following >this< thread. If you are unsure regarding your result, I will help you by checking the BIOS.

My current System:

What is lacking in the NvmExpressDxe_Small.ffs file on favour the bigger .ffs file? A functionality, additional options etc? If nothing why to use bigger one?

@Jerzy: To be able to get the NVMe module properly inserted even into BIOSes with nearly no space for any additional "DXE Driver", our Forum member Ethaniel had shrinked the size of the NVMe module as much as possible without touching its functionality. Until now we don't even know, whether the user gets any benefit by inserting the "normally" sized NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs file.
Nevertheless it is possible to get the much bigger sized standard module inserted even into a BIOS, which natively has not enough space for it, but this requires the removal of 1 or more other "DXE Driver" modules.

I modded my BIOS with the not shrinked version of DXE ffs module. It was a success by half. The modded BIOS shows NVMe drives as SS:PATA and allows to boot from Windows Boot Manager, but installation of 20H2 fails with some weird information about an "unexpected error" and after confirmation the pop
up message offers everlasting series of restarts of the computer with exactly the same result. From the other hand installation of 1709 went fine with no problem. I probabluy stay there since it is the last version with REFS. Another bads thing is ERROR in Event Logs. Error code is: EFI 03058003, Severity cllasified as: MAJOR and description says: DEX BS driver Unrecognized. Now I'll perform some efficiency tests plus will try to use my old ASUS HYPER x16 board for check whether the bifurcation works as I hope it does. Anyway thanks for your work and help here.

@Jerzy:
How many and what sort of NVMe SSDs did you connect to the mainboard and which generic or specific NVMe driver did their NVMe Controller use?

Hi,

Would it be possible to get a copy of the modded bios for this board, as the links do not seem to work any more?

Thank you in advance,

@Narerusco: Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
As long as Lost_N_BIOS is offline, you cannot expect help from his side.
My advice: Do the BIOS modification yourself according to >this< guide.
Good luck!
