If you have the time can you please detail how you performed the modifications above from step 'a' to 'c'?

---

Step a): I simply cut the header and replace it by another one.
b) I cut the last bytes of the BIOS module to let the code end at the end of the offset "F".
c) For the correction of the checksum-8 I use CodeRush's UEFITool. After having opened any original AMI Aptio IV BIOS, which does not have yet any NVMe support (I took the ASUS P8Z68-V one), I inserted the freshly modded NVMe module into the section, which contains the other EFI modules, and saved the modded BIOS. Then I opened the modded BIOS by using the AMI Aptio IV MMTool, extracted the just inserted NVMe EFDI module as "uncompressed" and check the checksum-8 by using HxD.

Well I'm still a little bit confused. Guess I'm going to have to compare your finished product with the raw module to get a better understanding.

Thank youi

Trying to compare my NVMExpress-DXE file I made myself to yours and there are some differences. Perhaps if you could please post your unmodified 29kb ffs file for comparison that would help. Its possible that the gensec and genffs commands I ran were different than yours. Also wonder what version of Clover was your file was from. Still curious on how you also add its proper name to show up in mmtool. Must be a command on genffs I'm missing. Anyhow it was a miracle I was able to get it to work with out those modifications fwiw.

Thank you.

Which Samsung SM951 SSD model (AHCI or NVMe) do you have and which OS do you want to install onto it?
If it is the NVMe SSD, just follow exactly my guide, which is within the start post of this thread.

your mobo is very cool but you should update the cpu ....because it is only pci-e gen 2... http://ark.intel.com/fr/products/63696/I...-up-to-3_90-GHz
look for a second hand cpu at ebay ...same for the vga ..you should try to find some rx480 .
i have a sabertooth x79 and these days i find good upgrades for 100 euros : 2 rx480 from amazon [450 euro] plus 2 ek wb to replace 2 of my 3 gtx570 ...plus a 12 cores cpu from ebay that will update my i7 3820 . i plan to check the famous helmet for VR ... i already took 5 cpu on ebay and the 4 i kept are still running well , i hop the coming one will be the same good surprise...intel is not very kind with prices...and no longer makes "overdrive cpu"...

i read that two ati are very good with VR : each card managing one eye ...same goes with a rx 290

for the NVMe support , there is not so much difference with some ssd-ahci , only when filesize is very big [ 4 Mo ] ...so booting windows is not so interesting while storing games should be very cool .
by the way , having a pci-e gen3 cpu will make a big difference with the NVMe

Hello,
I am new, but i read a lot and try alot (The How to from Page 1)
My Board is an Gigabyte X79-UD3 with the latest F20 Bios and i tryed for booting the 960 Evo (1TB) from Samsung.

Under my Windows i get the SSD all Time (with Windows (10) and Samsung Driver)
But booting doesnt work.
i get in my Bios, after How too, in the list of Booting, but if i will install Windows (10) it says.....my Hardware dont get this SSD Booting so i cant install on it.
I have Input 3 other Nvme Drivers from the X99 in my Bios and tryed, but it doesnt be able to boot from it, or allowed Windows to Install on it (From USB Stick)

My System
4930K
2133 Mhz DDR3 - 32 GB
960 Evo over Pci-e
Windows 10 - 64 Bit
Gigabyte X79-UD3 with F20 Bios

Tryed to Clone with Acronis 14 and with AOMEI-Backup and tryed to install from USB.......but doesnt work.

Sorry for my english, i am 36 Years Old German, and this is only my School English.....

Kind regards, Critter21

Hi guys!
i have succcessfully switched from Intel P3700 to 960 pro without new windows installation!

1) i have installed Samsung driver as second driver as i have showed some days ago
2) installed Samsung Nmve Windows driver.
3) Use Acronsi 2017 Boot Cd Iso to CLONE P3700 to Samsung 960 Pro (Windows 8.1 x64)
4) Power Off, remove Intel drive

No boot driver detected from Asus X79 Sabertooth as expexted.

5) mod my bios with Asus X79Delux 4805 by Extracting 3 tracks

"Nmve"
"NmveSmm"
"NmveInt13"

and inserting in my 4801

6) Now My Asus X79 detectd Samsung 960 Pro and Windows Boot Manager

Have a nice day!

if it could be usefull to great Asus X79 sabertooth here is how i have done 960 pro bootable.



Before bios patch

after

i couldnt find the nvme modules on the rampage x99's or sabertooth x99

could i extract those 3 modules from yours and put into mine? - nope nvm didnt work lol

i have the same board as this user
[Guide] Flashing modified AMI Aptio UEFI using AFU (4)

but i havent done the same step as him since im still not sure how to attept flash bios. as i was confused if i rename file extension from .cap to rom?

anyway i have windows 10 and using intel 750 as storage device and g et poor results



intel 750 is on slot 4x gen 2 slot. Shouldnt i get at least 1.5 GB/s?
