CSM (Compatibility Support Module) -> Enabled

---

Hello guys!
I'm new here, and I watching this thread about a month.
Straight to the point.
I have an Asus x79 deluxe motherboard and Windows 7 64bit.
With the latest bios update (4805) the x79 chip gets NVMe support.
I download from Samsung the driver for 950 pro because the windows 7 have not native support. (I tried to install but needs the ssd to proceed)
I also found and bought this: ASUS HYPER M.2 X4 MINI CARD PCI-E.
So I'm ready to go to the next level and buy the Samsung 950 pro or I'm not?
I don't have experience of moding or play with the UFEI options but I can manage if someone guides me.
Before I pay the amount of 360€, I have some question and I kindly request answers from anyone knows.
Does anyone have done this in a same motherboard (Asus x79 deluxe)?
If there is no one with the same m/b, is it possible to be done
(I want to boot from the Samsung, not for a plain ssd)
or there is issues that can't be solve?
I read for enable CSM, for disable CSM for many other things and I'm confused.
And of course I'm not willing to throw this amount of cash for nothing.
If someone is pretty sure for this, first thing in the morning is to order the 950.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry my bad English. I do better with Greeks!

Everything should work fine when booting from a PCIe M.2 adapter in UEFI mode with CSM disabled after modding. If you don't mod, the 950 Pro will boot with CSM enabled. This is how it is on my Rampage IV Formula X79.

Thanks LOcutusEstBorg for your answer.
If I understand, you telling me that the 950pro will boot from my x79 deluxe.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
First I insert the asus HyperCard with the 950pro onto the m/b.
Then I open the pc and go into the UFEI to enable the CSM or it's already enable?
After open Windows 7 64bit instal 950 drivers and at the end clone the OS from Samsung 840 to the new samsung 950 pro.
Then what? It will boot from the 950 or i have to go to the UFEI mode and check from which ssd will boot?
Are those steps right?
Have I miss anything?

Thanks in advance for your time

Hi,

Any one with success get NVME support for Asrock Z87 Extreme3 ?

I trying but without any effect. I make custom bios from Z97 Nvme.ffs , NVMEINT13.ffs and NvmeSmm.ffs compiled and flashed - but nothing happen. Dont see in my boot devices NVME hdd.
I trying also put inside extra SAMSUNG_M2_DXE.ffs but its same case - nothing happen after flashed.
Maybe its not possible get it :( ( i see my nvme sdd proper inside windows installed on other stat sdd disk - then all fine with it )

Fernando thnx for tips ;)
I get windows 10 installed and all works fine !! ;)
You'r right - working without bios recognized this device as disk.

Also its possible get windows 8.1 woking or only Windows 10 ?
When i try install Windows 8.1 get info about " can install on this partition / disk ". Its normall ?

EDIT: OK Windows 8.1 works too ... UEFI mode makes magic ;)

Just purchased a Samsung 512GB 950 PRO + Asus Hyper M.2 X4 for use with my Asus Maximus VI Gene.
I've read reports on this thread of success with that configuration using this mod, so I'm happy that I can hold off upgrading to a new system till Kaby Lake / Zen.
It should arrive on Tuesday, I'll read up on the procedure and report my findings after it is done. Thanks for this mod !

Post #300, Page 20 ( @daemont ) used the MMTool 4.5 with "ASUS Z97 NVMe modules" (he extracted 3 NVMe modules from a Maximus VII Z97 BIOS)
He was also trying to get NVMe working on a Z87 Maximus VI Gene. He didn't get it working with the posted files but did with his extracted files.
I'm assuming he means the 3 modules labeled: "Nvme", "NvmeSmm" & "NVMEINT13" ?

I made this mini Guide for Asus M6 Gene using the M7 Gene NVMe modules as vaguely described by daemont

Does this look right ? I will test it on Tuesday and will report back.
I'm already fully on board with UEFI, GPT & Windows 10, so I'm not expecting any issues there.
I'll off load my RAID0 array to my server and do a fresh install with the NVMe drive. If everything is "super green", then my 3x 256GB 840 EVOs will be on eBay.

Yes, Zerreth you are right!

Thanks for the follow-up!

Won't be able to test it today since Amazon decided to experiment and use Chronopost for One day delivery. They never showed up even tough the tracking number said they were out for delivery. Very disappointed.
