The Gigabyte X99 NVMe modules are compatible though as it is detected in both MMTOOL4 and MMTOOL5. I'm still a high school student so I don't have money to buy an Intel 750 SSD. I was just trying to learn some BIOS modding, that's all. You could try the ASUS Z170 NVMe modules if you want to and open through MMTOOL4 to check if it can detect the various NVMe modules (filenames) and if it works on your Z68 system.

Thanks for the offer, but why shall I always be the guinea pig?

@Fernando You might want to put it in the first post. I have installed it successfully in my Windows 7 64 Bit Computer

No problems, just do it when you feel like it. I would love try it though, I might get an Intel 750 SSD when I start working on a part time job.

Just wanted to post my successful experience getting my Intel SSD 750 to work as primary boot drive on a Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H. It has been working for a few weeks now as the lone drive under Windows 10 Pro.

At first, I simply tried to boot off the SSD with the latest UEFI version for the Z77X-UD3H with no success.
So I simply took Fernando's advice and downloaded the latest BIOS version from one of Gigabyte's Z97 boards (I guess it was Z97X-UD3H). I extracted the three NVMe modules (nvme, nvmesmm, nvmeint13) using MMTool and added those modules to my original BIOS for the Z77X-UD3H.
That's all, I have been able to boot off the Intel SSD 750 ever since. Windows 10 installation has been done using a bootable USB stick with the Intel SSD being the only hard drive connected.

Well, there are a few UEFI settings I had to change:
Fast Boot --> disabled
OS Type --> Other OS (I did not manage to get it to work with OS Type set to Windows 8 or Windows 8 WHQL, even with CSM off. I could successfully boot off the SSD but there was no video output at UEFI level, which did not sit well with me)

@ Fernando:

Thanks a lot. And great work of yours with this site by the way.

Attached are some Benchmark scores from my Z77 system: The Intel 750 sits in the second PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot while my GTX 680 sits in the first x16 slot, therefore bringing the speed down to x8 for both of them.

That topic is started by rootuser123, who also started one at TweakTown. It would have been better if he added a link to this topic, since this is where the talk and testing happened, not to mention he forgot CodeRush contribution. Without it, the way he presented the idea would make unknowing users to think he had an important part in the process. Still, he added some credit, so it was not his intention to simply add his name on top, it was rather unintentional.

He tried to be fair-play and just spread the idea, but not all of them do this. This message was written because of this, someone is trying to push this patching (not yet officially) without mentioning where it started. It is not the first time he does this and I have been silent about other things, but this last drop was too much. I simply cannot understand why someone would take something from this community, ignoring that you offered not only a place where we can share these ideas but also a real life test (without being compelled to), only to present the patching as his own solution and "forget" to give as little as a thanks.

@lordkag No problems I will add CodeRush too. I only saw yours and Fernando's posts only. I will link to this thread too so I don't get blamed for bricking someone's motherboard.
EDIT: Fixed the tweaktown and overclock.net post and added disclaimer.
The tutorial wasn't meant to be a rip off of your work. This wasn't meant to cause harm to the integrity of your own works. Sorry for the misinterpretation caused.

I am also able to insert the NVMe modules on my X79-UD3, i am going to test it with intel 750 and report back the results.

@rootuser123
Have you flashed bios of your X79-UD3 with these new modules inserted??, i guess you've got the latest OROMS for you mobo???

Original X79 bios doesn't have any native NVMe modules, so i've just inserted them, not extract.

Ghostearth.
