Hi , yes thats what i found out by myself , other filenames are not even recognized. So this is the Thing
But with the same Filename, all extacly same its like how i said when iam trying to flash it just freeze, normally a percent scale comes up and flashing begins.
with the modded Bios it just freezes.
Right now iam checking if iam did anything wrong in the nvme file insertation Process, but would make no sense because
the modded bios works on usbboot , just cant be flashed

Hi Fernando, I followed your guide but when i try to save the bios file after inserting the DXE module (i tried both compressed and uncompressed versions) i receive the error "reconstructVolume: root volume can't be grown".

My motherboard is Asus Sabertooth P67 bios version 3602, can you please help me?

You can download the bios here :

Thanks

There is obviously not enough space available for additional EFI modules within the DXE Driver section of the BIOS.
You should either ask the ASUS Support for a BIOS with more free space for EFI modules or remove a dispensable DXE Driver module. The latter option seems to be difficult, because I haven't seen the usual EFI LAN modules within your specific BIOS.

My Board is an MSI Z77-GD55 ! You ever heard from such an Problem?
Now i simply switched to an old cheap usb stick and running like that for the moment. It simply boots up the 960 when iam not selecting anything other by F11.
But the Bootsequence is very long because of bios from usb so its not a good solution.

Hi. First time posting here. I have a question: I have an Asus Sabertooth Z87 motherboard that I'd like to have full NVMe support. If I were to use this BIOS mod, buy an M.2 to PCI-E X4 adapter card (i.e. Asus Hyper M.2 X4 Mini Card) and put a Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVRe SSD that's rated for "Read Speeds up to 3200MB/s and Sequential Write Speeds up to 1900MB/s" in it, what speeds can I realistically expect on the Z87 using one of the PCIe 3.0 16X slots? I'm thinking considerably less than 3200 MB/s, correct? Before I invest in a lot of time and money, I just want to know if it will be worth it. Any others here have z87 chipsets and received dramatic results using this intriguing procedure? Thanks for any replies.

Thanks for the info, Fernando. I just ordered this M.2 to PCIe X4 adapter and will be using this NVMe SSD drive. I actually already have an Asus Z97-AR motherboard that natively supports booting from NVMe dervices but it's in storage as a backup motherboard because I prefer the Asus Sabertooth Z87 due to its extra feature set like two eSATA ports on the back (that thermal armor thing seems like gimmicky crap though!).

One final question: how much extra boot time is typical when using this BIOS hack? I think I might miss my 10-15 second boot to Windows 10 time using my old Crucial 250GB SATA SSD but it's a fair trade-off considering the dramatic speed boost (however unnoticeable in typical daily use) I'll get with the new NVMe drive.

My System Specs: Windows 10 Professional 64-bit OS, Intel Core i5-4690K CPU, ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1070 8GB video, Asus Sabertooth Z87 MB, Corsair 16GB (4 x 4GB) RAM, Corsair Carbide Series 300R PC Case, Antec 620W PSU

Today I had a unforgettable experience.

For preparing my UEFI Win 7 x64 Ult. installation, on a USB, I used Rufus, but i followed Rufus creator advice and formatted my USB with NTSF . So I did not format it with Fat32. Win installation (on my standard SSD) went ok.
Then I installed a modded bios for my Asrok Z77 Pro4 motherboard, on my regular SSD. It was modded in accordance with Fernando's tutorial. And as it is larger then 6Mb I uploaded it to: https://www.sendspace.com/file/1mehl7

System rebooted ok. Then I did some BIOS settings in preparation for installing M.2 NVME SSD on a PCIe card. Truly, it was more guessing than knowing what I was doing
Note: my NVMe SSD was not installed .
After rebooting, system unfortunately could not boot, and it did not see my regular SSD.
Only Microsoft boot loader and UEFI USB (with Win 7 installation), were visible as boot devices, but none of them was bootable.
After that I re-installed my original BIOS, and fortunately everything went fine.

Can someone tel me : was my attached modded bios modded incorrectly or I made some mistake in setting my new=modded bios?
Original bios is here: http://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/z77%20pro4/#BIOS

PS: After this experience I would suggest that a detailed bios settings should be added to the first page tutorial And it should be as detailed as possible.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Fernando,
Thank you for the reply.
Here is my modded bios: http://www.mediafire.com/file/oh0hlb5xegcxlph/Z77PRO41.80
What cluster size should I chose in Rufus - 16k or 32k?
i think that even a basic bios settings winch would describe major (a must) setings, would
be a great help to everyone who wants to do bios modding.
