Is it possible to use these M.2 NVMe 1.3 drives on modded motherboards with NVMe 1.2 module?

---

I will test it... maybe today :)

But first I have to upgrade my Windows 10.0.16273.1000 to build 10.0.16275.1000.
This 16273.1000 is buggy :P

Update...

Stage 0 - Windows Updated / Cleaned / Benchmarked for old NVMe version.
Stage 1 - The new NvmExpressDxe.ffs file is lager (43050 Bytes) than old version (29280 Bytes), but I create a new modded Bios for ASUS P9X79 Pro.
Stage 2 - Updating the BIOS with new NVMe Module - soon...

@Fernando ,

Yes I definitely think its worth posting them at the start of the thread but would mention they are untested though I have the highest confidence they should work. If anyone else can join the effort and test them as well the better. I'll do what I can but very busy this week.

Thank you

Been reading about the latest changes in the latest EDK-UDK NvmExpressDxe driver and unfortunately I could not find
anything regarding the new 1.3 Spec.

Hi there

I'm trying to mod the BIOS of a ASUS P8H67 to support my Samsung 960EVO M2-SSD properly.
So I followed the steps in this finde tutorial very carefully.

But right after "3. Insertion of the NVMe module" before saving I get a:
"parseBios: one of volumes inside overlaps the end of data"

Despite this, all seems to be fine and the screenshots are exactly the same like the ones posted in the tutorial.

Any idea i if this may cause problems or what I've done wrong and how to do it right? Thanks in advance!

@chiefrocker,

UefiTool is weird like that. I would try the latest Version. Think it's the NE40 version of Uefitool. Binaries are available at Longshot's Github page.
Could also try MMTool,

Ok, now it's getting weird.

I've opened the original BIOS-File (P8H67-ASUS-3801.ROM) with the up to date UEFITool_NE_A40.exe and before I've started modding, these messages showed up:

parseFileHeader: file alignment 10h is greater than parent volume alignment 8h
parseFileHeader: file alignment 10h is greater than parent volume alignment 8h
parseRawArea: one of volumes inside overlaps the end of data
parseFileHeader: file alignment 10h is greater than parent volume alignment 8h

But the file should be fine since i've downloaded it directly rom ASUS (http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1...7-ASUS-3801.zip) and extracted the zip.

Any help is much appreciated ;-).

You should be ok but try MMTool.

It seems that AMI doesn't want me to get my hands on the MMTool. At least I can't find a downloadlink and it seems that

The new UEFITool_NE_A40.exe does not let me insert the NvmExpressDxE_2.ffs. I guess it's because of the errors shown.

Here are my plans:
1. I'll give the BIOS I've modified with the old UEFITool.exe a shot.
2. If somehow magically some wizard (;-)) sends me the MMTools I'll try that as well.

I won't update the chip on my board, but buy a premodified BIOS-Chip. Therefore I'll send the modified bios-software to some service who mails me (physically) the premodified bios-chips with the modified bios on them.
So in this case if the modding fails, I do have an unmodified backup-bios-chip and won't be stuck without a working machine.

I'll report when I've tested everything.

Any ideas/objections before i buy those chips?

Thanks for the great support by the way. I'm really amazed how helpful some people are these days.

I also bought an extra bios chip just in case in the past. Never had to use it thank god but I would look for MMTool google searching. Its bound to be out there.
Check out Bios-Mods.

Perfect!

I've uploaded the files modded with MMTools 4.50.0.23 and UEFITools 025v and the reports generated by MMTools 4.50.0.23.
It seems both the modifications do have the exact same result. At least both roms do have the exact same md5sum.
But I'll try out both and when they work, I'll post a new thread >Here< including a tutorial using MMTools including all the details.

I'll order the brand new chips tomorrow and check if they work next weekend.
