It is very strange, but in "UEFI only" mode I'm able to see the empty list.
Parameters of Rufus which I used are:
Partition type: GPT with UEFI
File System: Large FAT32
Cluster size: 32k
Bootable disk type: ISO-image

But now it is not important. Finally I've managed to boot in UEFI mode from USB DVD-rom.
But when Win 10 installer asked me to choose drive for installation I again can't see SSD drive in list.
Frankly this time I haven't disconnected my SATA drives during boot of installer, hardly it impacts to discovering M.2 drive.
I'm starting to think that M.2 technology still is very immature if it still can't work from the box.

Finaly there are 2 questions:
1. Should I nescesary boot from USB Flash or from DVD is also suitable way?
2. Should I always disconnect SATA drives in order to right discovering M.2 SSD?

Here are screenshots of booting steps:

Modded BIOS is here.

The SM961 has the latest cxz7300q firmware dated 2016.09 which runs cooler to sort the thermal throttling of the early drives.

Hey kwk_kwk,

Are you able to see your nvme drive as a secondary drive from another windows installation on a separate standard sata drive?

Curious..

Thanks for having attached the BIOS, which had been modified by you.
I could not find any mistake, which may be the reason for the SSD detection failure, and I have no idea about how to solve your problem.

Hi Jan771,

My drive came with the newer firmware installed.

I'm not aware of any firmware update being available as it is really an OEM drive for system builders.

Best chance is to keep an eye out on Dell and HP sites/forums as this is most likely place an update will be found (if at all).

Throttling may be reduced if you have good air flow in your case or maybe install a small case fan to cool the drive?

To help detecting drive by bios when trying to install windows, try attaching drive as a secondary drive and just intializing it (but not partitioning or formatting it) in Computer Management console.

Then turn off, disconnect all other drives (including DVD rom etc), attach NVMe in the PCI-e slot, boot up and go into bios and set up CSM to boot via UEFI only with fast boot disabled, restart computer with GPT-UEFI FAT 32 formatted USB flash drive inserted and go to boot menu, choose UEFI USB stick and let windows setup start.

Go for a custom install and hopefully the NVMe drive will now show up!

Finally, I managed to add nVme support to my bios. I bought CH341A-based programmer to flash SPI EEPROM and followed the instruction written by CodeRush. But still I do not understand why some of the users (including me) have problem with Asus flashback. Anyway, now I am buying Samsung 950 Pro and I am going to install Windows 7. I found it instruction here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/...mbdrive.783921/

Hello, first of all thank you all for this work.

I would like to know what's the difference about doing an insert of the NVMeExpressDxE.ffs instead the 3 modules separately Nvme.ffs, NvmeSmm.ffs, NVMEINT13.ffs

Have an ASRock P67 Extreme4 Gen3 and I want to give it a try. So as stated in this post: [Guide] How to get full NVMe support for Intel Chipset systems from 6-Series up (8)
I downloaded the Z97 bios from ASRock and extracted the 3 modules from it but now I don't know if I should insert only the NVMeExpressDxE.ffs or it's better to insert 3 modules extracted from Z97 bios instead.

Thank you.
