is there a SATA3 controller on your motherboard ? disable it in the bios. also disable all kind of extra "raid" controllers to see if the nvme drive appears in the "hard disk" list in the boot section of the bios

+

unplug all other drives.

anyway if you want to install a fresh windows on the nvme, you need the other drive to be disabled.

also i speak french if you need details, send me a private message i'll try my best (no asus here, gigabyte only)

It looks ok can you attach your bios file here in order to see what is going on

 

[sgk008]

With pleasure

Ok can you try following attached file .But please with afudos from bootable dos (disk or usb ) or from afudos utility in bios . In bootable dos you have to rename the file in bios.rom With afudos utility from bios you can let the actual name . Also take the advise of @MrPanda regarding other controllers especially if you have raid configuration .

Hello Goldfinger,

you will have to change one byte value in the bios mod, it s not very complicated, the hardest part being to identify correctly the hardware hex code of the drive you will use in the future.

please refer to the quick guide i wrote, link to message is in my signature. if you feel lost reading the different steps, dont hesitate to ask for clarifications, we will be around to help.

have a great weekend

Hello MrPanda
I have now installed my M.2 NVMe drive, a Samsung SSD 970 PRO with 512 GB (Hex signature: 144D:A808), in my Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R.
Device ID: PCI\VEN_144D&DEV_A808&SUBSYS_A808144D
I have patched the BIOS according to the previous excellent contributions.
Everything went smoothly. Once you understand the process, replacing an NVMe SSD is very quick. So the effort was definitely worth it.

MrPanda, you were right – I only had to change a single number. Thanks again for the tip!

My system:
In the last PCIEX8_2 slot:
SABRENT PCIe M.2 Adapter, NVMe PCIe X16/X8/X4 Card for the Samsung 970 Pro 512 GB
In the PCIEX1_1 slot:
SupaGeek PCI-E USB 3.0 Adapter with 5 ports (2× USB-C, 3× USB-A),
connected to a Chenyang USB 3.0 Hub with 4 ports (Front panel)
Additional USB hub:
ORICO USB 3.0 Clip-Type Hub, 4 Ports, 5 Gbps SuperSpeed, which is highly recommended
Storage management:
Cablecc 6-port storage controller for four SSDs
Everything is working flawlessly. Thank you!
Have a great day!

Hi, I hope you can still assist me after all these years.
I'm looking for a BIOS mod for the following:

Motherboard - ASUS P6T Deluxe,
Hardware ID: E21-512G-PHISON-SSD-B47R-06ELFMB0.6

Thank you in advance.

Hey Goldfinger

Nice work, really nice rig i hesitated a lot between usb3 and 10Gbit/s ethernet card. But this relies on the quality of your fiber optic, if optic is available, i know i m quite lucky on that point.
keeping the reference of the USB3 Chipset, just in case

-> one thing though, get something like LibreHardwareMonitor to have an eye on the Nvme's max temperature. If it goes near 65-70°, try to get a heatsink, summers are not getting any cooler year after year.

To Small Old Oy : well, those are not the codes you will need to modify the values in the modded bios. check again Catup's guide, you re not looking at the good place.

MrPanda thank you for your swift response my apologies I looked at the wrong thing this is my Hardware ID for the controller I believe this is the correct thing!

Hardware ID: PCI\VEN_1987&DEV_5021%CC_0108

 

[MrPanda]

so now you have to refer to Catup's post, download a few files and follow the steps

Hello MrPanda,
thanks again for the helpful instructions. I still have a PCIe-to-NVMe card from my old Gigabyte X299 motherboard with an integrated heatsink. I want to install this one and use the SABRENT PCIe M.2 adapter primarily for testing purposes. It is very practical because you can easily insert and remove it.

I recently found and tested a pretty good heatsink. It is relatively quiet and very effective, even with the hottest M.2 SSDs: Akasa Gecko Pro LX, M.2 NVMe PCIe 5.0, aluminum high-speed cooler with built-in fan.

Yes, with a $6,000 PC, anyone can be fast. The real challenge was, how much performance could still be squeezed out of a 12-year-old machine – and that was definitely a surprise.
Have a nice day!

 

[MrPanda]

wow, the Akasa is a monster. I think it might be a bit large and could block the next slot, unless installed on last slot, like mine, problem then being the fan wont have much air intake.

still a solid cooling solution for specifically hot nvme during the summer heatwaves, thanks for the info

mine is 15 years old, 12x4ghz with 24GB and fast file system access, well, yeah, it works very fine. GTX 1060/1080 still works very well if you re not into FPS games, why buy a 6k computer indeed. In my house there are 5 computers from 2007 to 2014 all equipped with nvme, this mod is really a game changer, windows 10 biggest problem being the permanent I/O on huge amounts of small files.

works very well on linux too.

glad we could help, thanks for the information feedback have a great weekend.
