I have a gigabyte x79-up4, bios version F7.
I've modded the bios following the instructions, however, a bit "blindly" as I can't see the "subtype" tab.
Is this normal?


Thanks guys

@Fernando I was being retarded. my bad. the tab attribute width was absurdly large.

also many thanks for the guide and the effort you put in this. I've managed to get it working!

@Fernando very neat forum you have here with some pretty smart cookies!

Which method would you suggest I use between this thread/duet/clover/ or [OFFER] P8P67 (Non pro) BIOS to support booting from NVME or any alternative to try and get my 960 evo m.2 pcie as my windows 10 boot driver on a p8p67 evo? Ive tinkered with the duet/clover methods on my own to no avail, but this is my first time doing anything with bios other then an update so any help from you or other experience forum members would be great. I am open whichever would be most effective.

Current bios running intel sata ssd. and I note I get a hang at the asus screen during boot when switched from legacy to EFI mode.


Also note I can see the blck's for my nvme drive here using duet, but they do not show up as a file system, so I am stumped



Also noteable, while in windows via ssd, the nvme drive is super fast considering its on a pcie 2 slot. Read 1675 Write 1425 MB/s with samsung magician.

Any guidance is appreciated.

@stuckatmarine

I looked at your bios last night. Not much room to squeeze any nvme driver in there. Something will have to be compressed or cut out as you only have 21 kb free. Promise to look into it later tonight. Maybe one of the earlier smaller sized nvme driver could fit in there.

@davidm71

Thanks for looking into it. zazzn here [OFFER] P8P67 (Non pro) BIOS to support booting from NVME has taken out tpm drives to make room for nvme. If you think this is viable how would I go about loading it? the Asus EZ utility will not work with it.

I would first try to squeeze it in there without taking out anything and make sure he gives you the Evo version! Has to be the right bios or your going to have trouble. I'll look into it more later.

Hello, I applied all methods but couldn't flash bios. It always give error, like : extension must be .CAP or couldn't read file. I have Asus z87 sabertooth . Can u explain what did you do after extracting edited bios ? Thanks.

This Thread saved my Ass :D Thank u very much!
It was a little bit scary to mod the Bios but it works perfect!

You have to rename the modded BIOS according to the ASUS USB FlashBack rules (there is a special "BIOS Renamer Tool" available at the ASUS Support page for your mainboard), to insert a suitable FAT32 formatted USB 2.0 drive, which contains the modded BIOS, into the special FlashBack USB port of your mainboard and then push the FlashBack button for ca. 5 seconds.
The rest will be done by itself.
