@ijokerboy - What does it freeze on? Sounds like mod maybe OK, but you need to change BIOS settings possibly
If you are unsure of your mod BIOS, upload it for us to check, and please mention what tool and version you used to do the edit.

Also please be sure, and mention exactly in full, what motherboard model you have, what you mentioned above does not match what you mentioned to me in PM

@ijokerboy - I understood all that previously

The BIOS NVME mod is universal to all slots, and should not matter what slot you are using, that is why I asked when it's freezing, what you see etc and said sounds like maybe you need to fix BIOS setting.
Shut Down, clear CMOS, put GFX in slot one and Put NVME in second slot, boot to BIOS, load optimized defaults, save and reboot back to BIOS, then on BIOS Features page >> Boot Option Priority make sure you move windows boot manager to the top of the list
If that freezes, then maybe it's a bad BIOS Mod, upload for someone to check and say what tool and version you used to do the mod. Or, could be some adapter issue possibly, what adapter are you using, please give a link example where you purchased

If you are unsure of your mod - I already modified this BIOS, confirmed working by user on next page, BIOS at #58
[OFFER] Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P rev2.x BIOS Mod NVME Added (4)

@Lost_N_BIOS:

Thanks for the help again. Here is the adapter i bought> https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/400044904....1191b90aGJPRxn
I skiped straight to your version of the mod, downloaded and made the steps you mentioned. Still no luck. When i put the adapter on the board and turn the pc, it beeps and freezes on the post screen. Cant press to go to bios setup or select boot...

EDIT by Fernando: Unneeded fully quoted post replaced by directly addressing (advantages: 1. the author will be notified about your reply + 2. needs much less space)

As usually...people still going for the cheapest they find and still thinking they r buying a full x16 adapter with a nice dissipation heat sinker.
That kind of adapter works on a very low percentage of systems...less than 5€ for a ton of problems.

Hi,

I have managed to install Windows 10 finally after figuring out you need to disable secure boot to launch the UEFI launcher. I was also having issues formatting the NVMe during install which was because the base clock was still too high I lowered it even more to lower my overclock.

Now I am kind of worried everything seems to be running fine no crashes or apps crashing also downloded 1gb file and checked the MD5 hash and it was fine just don't want it to be case that files can get corrupted. I ran crystal disk mark and the random 4k seems kind of low not sure why even with normal base clock it is low...

Hi, everyone. I've just built a server Gigabyte C246N-WU2 mobo and Seagate Ironwolf 510 1.92TB ssd (m.2 nvme pcie gen3x4). If I power on the pc with the ssd plugged, it turns on for around 2-3 seconds then it powers off. After another 2 seconds, it powers on by itself but the fans keep spinning at maximum and it never posts, nor makes a bip from the motherboard speaker. I tried the ssd in other two computers and it's working good, then I tried other two ssds in this computer and they work, so both the motherboard and the ssd are good. There's no bios update for this mobo up to now. Do you think that I can solve this problem modding the bios with this nvme modules? You can find the bios dumped from q-flash in the attachments.

I suspected also that it wouldn't solve ur problem, u may need to give this info to Gigabyte and/or Seagate...as this is relatively new model of M.2 NVme from Seagate.

@ijokerboy - Maybe just a faulty adapter unit you got this time (bad batch, or something wrong with it) or not compatible etc, I use those tiny cheap similar ones in black and green, price $4-6 without heatsink and do not have issues on many boards
But maybe the ones I picked up are better design or better quality control? I've never ran into any issues with these below.
These are el-cheapo ones I've used many times, similar to yours but without heatsink - Maybe pickup one similar to these and try again (you can use heatsink from your current one)

@ste94pz - how are you connecting the NVME now? Any PCIE adapter you have should also fit into x16 slot too, no need to wait for other adapter, unless you just want to also try other adapter to rule out current one.

Why doesn't it work on the native m.2 of the mobo (though this slot works with other brand ssds with same specs) but it works on the pcie with the adapter?

---

Are you sure, that the M.2 port supports the NVMe protocol?
