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.

Please report here about the result of the test.

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

Yes, you cannot extract anything, which is not present within the BIOS, but the extraction may be needed to get the NVMe module from another mainboard BIOS (unless you download already extracted modules like the ones I am offering within the start post of this thread).

@Fernando
Hello, yes no problem i 'll of course report my results here, and i've used https://mega.co.nz/#!EBMGwDiI!FT-NKR47Kb...G36X2vR_dk_ItQ4 and now my X79 get these, i just waiting rootuser answer about the bios flashing,
One more question, i know that Q-FLASH utilities is not flashing entire BIOS, FPT command allow you to flash the full bios, does Q-FLASH is enough?????

Yes, because it will replace the entire BIOS region within the BIOS chip and that is the only important thing here.

@Ghostearth I managed to insert the X99 NVMe modules into my X79-UD3 BIOS and I flashed it successfully. I used Efiflash in DOS to flash the BIOS. I don't have an NVMe SSD to test though.

As i 'im planning to install the Intel 750 with Windows 7 x64, it's better to install the NVMe driver from intel after OS installation or mount the ISO natively with the KB2990941???
Thanks.

@ Ghostearth:

Since Windows 7 natively doesn't support NVMe, you will not ne able to get it installed onto the Intel 750 SSD, unless you have integrated or loaded a suitable NVMe driver. If I were you, I would integrate Intel's own NVMe driver.

@ imsims:
Thanks for your interesting report.
Are you sure, that the used tool "Hard Disk Sentinel v4.60.9b PRO" is able to read the data of an Intel 750 SSD correctly?
According to >this< site the version you used is the first one with NVMe support. It is a Beta version and available since 08/07/2015 (latest Beta version is 4.60.9e).
Unfortunately the recently released Intel SSD Toolbox v3.3.1 still is not able to read the related data from my 750 SSD.

@Fernando I found a person with an X79 chipset who is able to test the method and I assume he has an Intel 750 SSD on hand right now. He needs help to flash the modded ASUS BIOS to his motherboard and I already linked your tutorial on how to flash modded ASUS BIOS.

For the oldie but goodie motherboards ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 and Z77 Extreme 6 there are new beta bios with NVMe support available. Can't say anything about it, because I have no NVMe device.

Yes, ASRock is usually the first and sometimes the only mainboard manufacturer, who supports even older products, when a new hardware generation is coming up.

Never use only one tool for checking things like temperature, SMART or such things as there are always vendor related "bugs"/features not every app handles

I have compared the before and after files. Luckily, it has just a small increment. After removing the timestamps from files, the result with all changes is bellow:

Only the highlighted three have code changes, with the second being font related (I think) and the last being just the Setup menu. This leaves us with NVMe being added in either AMITSE or the new Samsung_M2_DXE. I would think the later is not a good candidate, being an OEM related driver, which leaves us with AMITSE, surprisingly. As a side note, that M2 driver is now a good candidate for those with older boards. They've also made some changes to UEFI menu, so that users don't enforce legacy only.
