Asus Sabertooth X79 and NVMe PCIe Gen4 M.2

Hi,

Running 1701 bios, so up to date on the stables, pre beta.

Tried the usual tweaking with UEFI and LEGACY, couldn't get those to allow past the boot drive not fully supported, try changing bios, hit enter to go into bios loop.

Tried clearing Sec keys, changing to other os and installing win 10 after creating new partition table. It worked but not enough to get the bios to see the new drive (only other one in there).. back to not fully supported screen. (So no windows 10).

Tried applying new sec keys, and popping it back to "uefi windows" instead of "other os", and updating sec keys... Same, no full drive support..

Tried running a repair on the installation using a win ten disc (yes it got that desperate), that actually spotted that the windows install, but stated there was an issue and suggested running a repair on the installation... So i abandoned that particular hell loop.

I tried an identical nvme drive, different pci slots, different pci cards.. nada.

Was considering installing linux and then having a windows dual boot, managed by grub, or something, but thought I would wait for you till I tried that particular flavour of rabbit hole, given that it seemed to be bios kicking a fuss and you reported having a solution.

i feel dumb as hell, totally overlooked the "check out the ROS archive motherboard forums. i was running a custom bios from there on my x79 rog formula that allowed me to boot from my 950pro."

Any link to which you used?
 
Hi mate,
So, this is the link to everything I used as well. Post #295 is where I churped in with questions etc

https://www.win-raid.com/t3325f44-O...pport-w-optional-Bifurcation-uCode-OpROM.html

All the instructions that I used are on there. Also, how are you connecting the NVME drive to your PCI slot? is it an adaptor and if so, which one?

Also, if you've followed the inctrustions that they've given, let me know and I can go into my BIOS and get some screen shots that I've got to get it working,.
