[OFFER] Asus Crosshair V Formula 1703 mod BIOS

BIOS/UEFI Modding Offers: Already modded special BIOSes
241

My personal PC is a Crosshair V Formula Z flashed with 2201 BIOS including latest Microcode/OpROM updates.

I clone 2 or 3 systems a week on average & unless there’s something special about booting from NVMe drives either GPT or MBR should work fine. I prefer MBR myself.

Which imaging software did you use to clone the drive? I use Macrium Reflect.

I would first try the SSD in the adaptec slot to see if it’s at least recognized, that would be a start.
Also, enable CSM under BIOS boot menu options, enable UEFI & Legacy as well as “boot from PCI devices”. option.

See how you go.

Cloning is quite OK.

The 850 Evo is SATA not NVMe, so you won’t gain anything from installing it in a PCI-e slot.
My 860 Evo tops out at ~500MBps.

Thanks for the info MW. I did a fresh install of Windows 10 on the Samsung 980 EVO NVME and it booted fine. I had all my other drives disconnected just to be safe. Kudos for this firmare update! Now I just have the pain of reinstalling software… :slight_smile:

Just as a side note, when I went to install the AMD SATA RAID/NVME driver, I received a error that installing the SATA RAID driver would disable boot capabilities from the NVME. So that is may be why the clone did not work.

Samsung Magician Stats:
980 EVO => NVME => PCI-E 2.0 x4 => 1.6 GB/s
950 EVO => SATA 6G => ADAPTEC 71605 SAS => PCI-E 2.0 x8 => 484 MB/s

Typo… fixed. :smiley:

Thats a lot of cloning for my taste… im not fund of it but done plenty back in the time of the old Norton Ghost in dos. Data drives, an emergency clone…sure, but not my choice for a PURE UEFI system, not talking about the “windows garbage” left behind on an old OS against the new performance.
Not for my systems neither losing time in system clients… thank you for your contribution to this user situation, cheers.

EDIT: Im not here to suggest anything my friend…i just gave my opinion about a clean NVMe OS install vs an cloned old OS related the performance vs garbage.
If you are responsible for customer data drives you should do it as it fits you better.

Thats it my friend your on peak performance on old PCIe 2.0 x4, on this systems on PCIe 3.0, when possible, can give you a tiny boost, congrats.

247

So if cloning the drive isn’t an option how would suggest migrating data from one PC to another three times a week? Reinstall?

Not likely.

Thank you very much to the landlord. The same motherboard successfully recognized the solid-state drive and installed the system. Chinese netizens

Hello everyone, I read your topic, but it didn’t help! My mother Asus Subertooth 990 Fx died, I bought an analogue of the Asus Croshair Formula V, but it turns out that she does not see my NVMeM2. I was looking for a BIOS with support for this, but alas, I couldn’t find it at all, and the latest 1703 was installed! All you have to do is add it yourself! The ones on the forum are not suitable - they are in .CAP format (8Mb"C5FZ), but I need a .ROM of 4Mb (C5F). I pulled out the original via Windows, now the question is where to find a driver for writing in BIOS? This has never happened before I didn’t, thanks!

Всем привет, ознакомился с вашей темой, но она не помогла! У меня умерла мать Asus Subertooth 990 Fx, приобрел аналог Asus Croshair Formula V, а она оказывается не видит мой NVMeM2. Искал BIOS с поддержкой этакого, но увы не нашел совсем, и установлен последний 1703! Осталось только самому добавить его! Те что на форуме -не подходят-они формата.СAP (по 8Mb"C5FZ), а мне нужен .ROM на 4Мb(C5F). Оригинал я вытащил через Windows, ну теперь вопрос где найти драйвер для написания в Биос? Ранее подобное никогда не делал, спасибо!
