SOLVED: BIOS von ASRock X79 Extreme 6 für NVMe Boot-Support modifizieren

Zitat

So far, there hasn't been a BIOS update for NVMe support for any of the ASRock X79 boards. Only the Z97 boards have BIOS updates with NVMe support.

Intel is not saying much about chipset compatibility when using a 750, except X99 and Z97 boards. There is an NVMe driver that must be installed, which Intel provides or is built into Win 8.1 and Win 10.

But NVMe support in the BIOS is essential, as well as configuring the 750 as GPT formatted and the system configured for UEFI booting. So far, not available for X79.

Für normale User wäre das die Antwort. Für einen oc.at'ler geht es hier weiter:

• Automatisches BIOS-Upgrade via UBU Tool
• Oder ein manueller Austausch der BIOS-Module auf neue, von anderen Mainboards extrahierte Versionen: Guide

Klingt schwerer als es ist.

Es hat auch schon jemand mit dem ASRock X79 Extreme 6 geschafft. Du darfst nur nicht die Intel Management Engine tauschen, die ist bei ASRock in einer benutzerdefinierten Version enthalten und ein Update macht das Board nicht mehr bootable.

Hi everybody, I have a few questions regarding my above mentioned mainboard. I'm using BIOS 2.80 right now and have inserted the modded OROM 12.7 for X79 into

Code:

If not already done, you can now insert the NVMe SSD resp. its M.2>PCIe adapter into the M.2 port resp. PCIe slot, which offers the best possible performance and doesn't share the PCI lanes with other devices (please look into your mainboard manual).
Important:
The "BOOT" section of the UEFI BIOS and the shortcut to the "Bootable Devices" will not show the NVMe SSD, although it may be bootable!
After having installed the NVMe supporting OS in UEFI mode onto the PCIe/M.2 connected SSD, you will see the new bootable system drive listed as [b]"Windows Boot Manager".
Here are some advices about how to get Win10 properly installed onto an M.2 or PCIe connected NVMe SSD:
Save the important data, which are currently on the NVMe SSD.
Create a bootable, FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive containing the desired Win10 image by using the tool Rufus (important: choose the UEFI mode partition table = GPT).
Enter the BIOS and navigate to the "BOOT" section and - if applicable - the "SECURITY" or "Keys" section. 
Make sure, that the "Secure Boot" and "Fast Boot" options are disabled. The "Compatibility Support Module" (CSM) should be set to "Disabled" as well (requires full UEFI compatibility of the graphics adapter) or to "Enabled" with the ability/preference to load EFI BIOS modules for the Storage Disk Drives.
Side note: Some users reported, they they had to disable the ASMedia SATA Controller within the "Storage Configuration" section to be able to boot off the NVMe SSD.
Most important: Unplug all storage disk drives except the NVMe supporting SSD.
Insert the prepared USB Flash drive and boot off it in UEFI mode (the related bootable USB drive should be shown by the Boot Manager with the prefix "[UEFI]").
When you come to the point, where you have to decide onto which Drive and which partition the OS shall be installed, delete all existing partitions from your NVME supporting SSD. After having done that, let the Win10 Setup create a new partition for your future drive C: on the related SSD. Then point to this just created partition as the desired future OS location.
The rest should be done by the Setup automaticly. You will get a message, that some additional partitions have to be created. Accept that and follow the advice of the Setup where to install the OS.
Once the OS is up and running, shut down the computer, remove the bootable USB Flash driver and reconnect all your previously used storage drives.
Before you restart cour computer, make sure, that the NVMe SSD resp. its listed "Windows Boot Manager" is on top of the bootable storage drives.
