@TrackStar:
Please stop posting here unless you have successfully flashed the modded BIOS (don't try to flash any BIOS, which has been designed for another mainboard).
As I already have stated earlier, the first and most important step for you is to flash the modded BIOS, which contains the required NVMe EFI module.

Currently I have two problems:
1. When I set the CSM Storage Disk Drives to UEFI mode the computer black screens on restart and won't load. I have to reinstall the BIOS in order to get it to work.
2. When I try to install the Win 8.1 OS without changing the CSM I get this screen:

If you can help me figure this out I think my problem will be solved

It took me 4 days but I finally did it!!!
I did the steps on the first page combined with the steps here and it finally worked properly!!!
SO HAPPY!

@TrackStar
you will not see hdd on hdd list as it is not an sata hdd!
you will see it in the boot list UEFI if it has a UEFI boot partition, done AFTER you will install windows on it.
just to be clear, the bios mod nmve module JUST scan PCI-E bus to find UEFI boot partions to be able to boot from PCIE "devices"
that in OUR case are HDD !!
Hope i have been clear .... :D
PS: what i have done is JUST use 3 tracks from Asus x79 Deluxe bios 4805 in the Asus X79 Sabertooth 4801
becouse ASUS is lazy to update its products bios!
meanwhile i do not understood why asus update X79Deluxe Motherboard and NOT Sabertooth that it was an expensive product!!!
PS2: i think my mod is better than Fernando one (sorry for saying this .. :D) becouse it replicate ASUS near-same-motherboard X79,
hope Asus has tested it on X79 deluxe :D

Can someone help me with that problem. Can someone send mi modded bios for this motherboard.

Hi,

I just wanted to share this little utility I modified for adding NVME support into your rom bios file. It automatically will remove unnecessary networking boot rom files and compresses core-dxe, and then inserts NVMeExpressDxe.ffs into your rom. To use it uncompress the rar file into a folder and go into a command prompt and type: 'AddNVME.bat <biosfile.rom>' and hit enter where biosfile is the name of your rom module. It will automatically created a new rom file called 'compressed.rom' from your original rom with NVME module added without having to mess with mmtool and having to delete satadriver or anything like that. I should say the utility is based on 'OZMTool' by Tuxuser and is mostly 99.99 % his work but I have cut out a lot of the Oz stuff. For now as this is like an alpha release I recommend you guys with dual bios try it out and see how it goes. Appreciate feedback.

Thanks

Weird it worked for me. Got to beta test it more. Thanks.

Hello,
I followed your guide to the letter and it works with the SSD Toshiba RD400.
- I took the last bios of the X79 Deluxe 4805.
- Extract the 3 files Nvme, NvmeSmm and NVMEINT13 with MMTool 4.50
- Insert in my bios P9X79 4801, put the modified bios on formatted USB key in fat32.
- Important: Installation of the toshiba drivers under windows to recover on their site.
- Backup my C drive with acronis True Image 2016 under windows.
- Restore the C drive on the SSD with True Image under windows, turn off the PC at the end.
- Flash of the bios via Flashback.
Restart the PC leaving all options by default, I just changed the language (French).
And it starts, it goes very strong compared to my old hard disk of 10 years of age. Great!
Thanks fernando

Hello,
I have a Asus p9x79 ws motherboard cpu i7 3930k, and it does see the intel 750 ssd 400 giga, and i can boot from it too, is there any need to mod my bios 4802 with nvme modules and what is the best to use??

Any chance if i renamed your modded bios to P9X79D will work in P9X79 Deluxe?

Hello you guys have been so much help I wish to share my latest tweak that only was possible because of info I found here. Thanks to you I manage to boot from a 960PRO in Nvme.

I had a asus z87pro with latest bios 2103. I assumed it would work same as for 950 PRO for boot thanks to some built-in OPROM and using CSM but it didn't work for 960PRO using a Asus Hyper M.2 X4 mini using PCIx16_03 in X4 mode.
It seems like 960PRO doesn't have the OPROM and the only solution is modding the bios (I tried every single CSM option it is just not working only modding will work). The problem however is that asus only give bios in .cap which will prove a bit more challenging for flashing.

So nothing works until I followed a guide provided by this forum:

1. follow guide to mod the latest asus bios
2. download latest z87 pro bios 2103
3. download the nvme module uncompressed
4. mod the bios following the guide and then save it to a USB stick in FAT32. Make sure to name your mod file: Z87P.cap
5. Plug your USB stick into flashbios usb slot in the back of your mobo and start machine holding the button Flashbios on the mobo until you see the LED blinking. After a while blinking stop and you can boot safely.
6. Once your bios is flashed, make sure to plug your Hyper mini in the lowest large PCI-E slot and go into bios to set up this particular slot to X4 (it will disable several SATA ports)
7. Go to CSM (compatiblity support mode) and disable it, your bios can now deal with 960PRO natively. it will be recognized as PATA but work flawlessly once you boot from UEFI usb stick media for W10 install
8. You can even use DATA migration tool from samsung to migrate your old SSD since the boot sequence issue is now resolved.
9. ASUS Z87 PRO can boot 960PRO in NVME without CSM at all in pure UEFI once you mod the 2103 bios without default NVMeExpressDxE module. You can even use the option Fast boot and Hardware fast boot everything work flawlessly like you have a Z170/270, you're in real NVMe...

so .... im not sure if its due to a bios mod i did previously... or if it was really just the m.2 to pci-e adapter problem... i ordered the angelwings px-1 and installed it into my test machine (rampage 4 gene with 3930k) it worked immediately and booted off it. I stuck it in my main (rampage 4 extreme with 3960x) and installed win10 on it. works great...? at first read's sucked for some reason and i installed samsung's latest nvme drivers... and these are the numbers im getting




what you think?
