You mentioned into the topic to install best ahci drivers

---

This advice is only valid for users, who are running their system drive in AHCI mode, but your NVMe SSD uses the NVMe protocol.
That is why you should choose the best NVMe driver.

Has anyone else experienced issues with the files from the first post? Whenever I download and try to open the files (UEFITool_v0.25.1 and NvmExpressDxe_4) or extract them, I get the error: "The archive is either in unknown format or is damaged". I tried downloading and opening the RAR files on multiple computers. I am using WINRAR.

--edit - Had to upgrade to newer version of WINRAR 5.60

Update to latest version of WinRAR

Hello,
I'm new here and very happy to see so much ppl interested in that type of moding ! ;)

I have this :
ASUS SABERTOOTH X79
XEON E5 2660 v2
Intel 600p and 760p NVME SSD
Sylverstone NVME to PCI-E card (both the single NVME and the dual NVME+SATA)

I've just folowed your "how to" to add NVME support with UEFITOOL 0.25.1 using NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs
I get exactly what we see on your screenshots
When I go to bios I see this new device : "PATA:SS" I can use as bootable
but trying to setup bios (CSM, etc) wont let me boot on it
and trying to install Windows 10 pro x64 build 1803 via PXE from my WDS server I get that kind of msg when partition selection menu open :
"you can not use this device/partition because boutable bios isnt loaded" or something like that but in french...

If I try to disable CSM in bios I get a bios message that this device isnt fully supported until I setup bios properly and cant go ahead anymore.
If I try to open moded bios with UBU it clearly state that NVME support is included so it looks like it's missing something for those SSD or else... I'm stuck ;)

BTW the 600p had a previous Win10Prox64 1803 from when it was setup on a Sabertooth Z97 mark 2 with the same sylverstone card so they both realy ok.

Any idea what I'm missing ? doing wrong ?

thx and keep the good work guys! ;)

thx Fernando.

About the bios it is one already moded with UBU successfully but never had the possibility to add/remove/update GOP drivers and according to files I can see there's no LGA 2011 folder for GOP drivers in UBU folder, only for 115x platforms.
About the Secure Boot and Fast Boot option :
I can disable Fast Boot
but can not do so for Secure Boot
If you look at pics I've attached secure Boot only alow me to select from WINDOWS UEFI or OTHER OS then I can go to Key management if Windows UEFI is selected
I've added a few others to show you how I setup CSM and what happens when I disable CSM.

M.N.

First you must choose Other OS, then you can disable secure boot and delete it's keys

nope
Choosing "Other OS" will only remove possibility to access/modify/delete keys
and no "disable secure boot" option will show up

Hi guys,

I'm planning on using this with a p8z77-v lx motherboard and I can only use a pcie 2.0 x4 slot.

What performance can i expect if i use a pcie 2.0 x4 slot?

Will a samsung 970 evo reach top speeds? (3000mb/s)

Well, if i'm not getting top performance i can save some money buying a kingstom or something slower. That's why i'm asking :D

Thanks.

@DoYouW - disable secure boot - delete the keys then, that should disable it. Delete keys, and leave that area of the BIOS, then go back and check again (If still not possible, reboot and check again)

Hello.

First of all I would like to thank all of this thread supporters. It's really cool to have such type of workaround for old hardware.

My HW configuration:
MB: Gigabyte GA-Z97N-WIFI
NVME disk: THNSF5256GPUK (it's OEM, and not widespread)
PCIE adapter
OS: fresh install Win10 64bit pro

I patched bios and NVME is now bootable however I'm still unhappy with stability of the system:
- NVME speed is random from boot to boot. E.g. first boot read 1800mb/s, second boot 14mb/s. I still can't figure out what cause such behavior.
- Unrecognized USB device in device manager
- Bluetooth doesn't work while NVME is connected
- BSOD not often but happens
- while NVME is connected i'm unable to boot linux from other disks connected through SATA (get just black screen). Tried different bios option combinations.

I would like to make system a bit more stable and consistent. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi everybody,

I've just received my first SuperMicro X10DRi motherboard and was surprised that it didn't detect my Samsung 970 Pro. So I started to do my homework -Google-, and noticed two things: SuperMicro has contradictory answers on its forum/faq/support site saying that this motherboard is and isn't compatible with NVME SSD's. The other thing I've noticed is this forum, several people refer to it, so here I am!

I'pretty much explained my issue: new motherboard, just 2 v3 xeon's, 64GB DDR4 memory and the 970 Pro mounted on a Lycom DT-120. I also have a new HDD that I've used to check if everything is ok. And it is, when using the HDD, I can install an Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Server with no problems at all. Everything is last update, BIOS, firmware and so on.

I've tried all the obvious things: putting everything on EFI and UEFI, CSM off, checking the SSD on another PC, etc. It just doesn't detect the 970 Pro.

I also read Fernando's post on the same X10DRi motherboard that I have, but it is not clear to me what exactly did you do. Besides, that was a 960 Pro with new firmware, if I'm not mistaken.

Now, I've "rehearsed" the BIOS modding and it seems to work, but honestly I don't dare to risk a new, very expensive motherboard.

Any advice, please?

Thanks in advance.


PS- I'm aware it may be a SSD's firmware problem, as in the 960 Pro. But I just can't try one of those or the 950 Pro to be sure they work.
