@Ice009 - yes, I can do anything I want to a BIOS, modified or stock doesn’t matter NVME would only need updated if someone did the mod long ago using an old version of the currently available NVME module we all use now. For your reference, here is what all is in there now, so you can see the versions of everything currently there. On the microcodes, there is only 5x microcodes in there (#1-5), but then duplicated into 4x different volumes that’s why it looks like so many (3 are out of date)
The NVME Module in there currently is not the standard one we all use now, I am not sure what it is, possibly older version? You’d have to ask @BOLTS4BREKFAST I looked back to see if he mentioned, but he didn’t post in this thread so not sure where you got this?
Hello everyone. Yesterday i tryed to update my BIOS to support my new 970evo. Tryed the File from OP but no chance… also another one… same… my Bios LED blinked for like 4 seconds but still no support. Then i tryed the Biosfile from this Thread: https://www.overclock.net/forum/6-intel-…ner-s-club.html (also includes Spectre and Meltdown fix) my board needed some minutes to flash (it worked) and then i was able to boot from my NVME SSD yayyy The speed is incredible! Used a cheap 20€ PCIe/NVME m.2 Adapter since there is no difference because its just a 1:1 link without any controller. Anyway, i wanted to thank you guys. Used Last Pciex16 slot.
This is a working option. I did exactly the same and everything works. I want to add that you definitely need to have a driver for the SSD on the installation flash drive. I installed Windows 7 PRO x64.
My setup; CPU: i7-3930K Mobo: Rampage IV Extreme BIOS: 4901 + NvmExpressDxE_4 GPU: 1080GTX SSD: Samsung 970 PRO + Intel 750NVMe SSD
Wird hier deutsche Unterstützung auch angeboten? Ich habe eine Rampage IV mit dem aktuell BIOS 4901 installiert. Dann habe ich die Zip Datei runtergeladen und mit dem ASUS AI Suite 1.02.15 das Bios geflasht… Jedoch wird meine NVME SSD immer noch nicht im BIOS angezeigt(Im Windows ist sie ersichtlich)… Ich habe festgestellt, dass das Bios nicht aktualisiert wird… Ich verstehe jedoch nicht weshalb nicht…
You can only update to moded BIOS using ASUS BIOS Flashback function (with properly formatted pendrive connected to right USB port on the IO [correct port should be marked]).
I’m running Rampage IV Extreme with 3960x CPU. Trying to use ASUS Hyper with 2 x NVME M.2 SSD. Can I use 2 x NVME on 1 x Asus hyper PCIE card? I think Raid should not be workable, but would like to know that I can use 2 x NVME.
Hello sniper. Ich kann dir gern auf deutsch antworten… Schau bitte, dass du auch das richtige BIOS bootest. Auf diesem Board sind 2! Ich hab auch eins mit diesem Update für NVME Support und das zweite hab ich noch nicht geflasht. Somit läuft das ganze nur auf einem. PS: das flashen funktioniert nur richtig über USB am dafür vorhandenen Port.
Liebe Grüße
Sorry for the German talk. I just told him to boot from the right bios, since we have 2 and you can flash both individually. I also just flashed 1 and don’t have NVME support on bios 2. Kind regards.
The OP’s R4E.zip extracts a R4E.CAP file found in the first post wont load in "UEFI Bios utility:. I copied the 4901.CAP also to the same USB stick and it and it loads fine…
Does anyone have any suggestions for loading the OP’s
format your usb flash drive to FAT32 filestystem 2. put R4E.CAP to the root of the falsh drive, also you can copy the file and place it in the same directory nameв as R4E.ROM (regarding R4E official manual) 3. put your flash drive to OC white usb port 4. turn off the pc, hold the OC connection button until it starts blinking 3-5 sec 5. wait until it starts blinking fast and then stop blinking 3-5 minutes 6. start your pc, configure your bios likes described on the first page
windows 10 installed on Samsung EVO 970 + PCI-E M.2 NGFF for SSD V2 + Heatsink Ret adapter
I had an issue using the provided CAP in OPs post. I tried with many different sticks formatted many different ways, using Diskpart and Windows formatting. None of them worked. I took the time to create my own for RIVE (Rampage IV Extreme) by dropping the NVME driver into a freshly downloaded (ASUS Website) rev4901 bios. I will attach it here for anyone that wants to try this one (in case OPs doesn’t work for you too).
EDIT Unable to upload because of file size limit. I have uploaded it to the following: ***EDIT EDIT *** Unable to upload my post because of a lack of posts on this forum (literally registered an account an hour ago to post this to be fair). I have attached a text document that contains many of the same steps plus a MEGAUPLOAD link.
1. Run command prompt as Administrator 2. Type DISKPART 3. Plug in your USB drive. Note the size of the device (which is likely much smaller than your hard drives). WARNING >> THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING ON THE USB DRIVE 4. Type LIST DISK 5. Locate your USB thumb drive. Remember the drive number 6. Make sure you have selected the right device. 7. Type SELECT DISK xxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the drive number from step 5 8. Type CLEAN 9. Type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY 10. Type ASSIGN LETTER=yyyyyyy where yyyyyyy is a drive letter you aren’t currently using 11. Transfer the file attached here to the root of the drive (note I kept it lower case, this worked fine for me) 12. Plug into white USB port on back of motherboard 13. Press and hold the appropriate ROG Connect key until it blinks a few times 14. Wait a while until it is done. The ROG Connect key will slowly blink. If the USB has a light to indicate disk read/write, it will blink too.
Connected M.2 adaptor card to bottom red PCIe slot.
The already modded BIOS versions I found in this thread did not work for me. Got an error message “The file format is incorrect. Ensure that the filename extension is .CAP” when trying the file in EZ-Flash and Bios Flashback failed after a couple of seconds.
This gave an error message in EZ-Flash that it failed “Security Validation” which I was not surprised by, but using the file in Flashback the update was completed correctly.
Which one among the numerously attached files of this thread do you mean and why should I check it?
I am not responsable for the quality and usability of a BIOS file, which has been modified and offered by someone else.
I cant install the mod bios (4901). I don’t know why.
I have a sabrent m.2 ssd to PCIe adapter.
W.D_Black 1TB m.2 NVMe
Windows recognize, i can use it as storage but ASUS RAMPAGE IV EXTREME Bios it wont recognize it. So i cant install windows on it. Bios boot it wont show up.
Do you know why i cant install the BIOs mod using the Rog flash on the back?
It flashes like 3 seconds and and stop. wont do much. Flashing a BIOS take like 3 minutes but it seems MOBO is not allow me to install it. Anyone can help me with it?
See Post#36
Now…can you succeed in flashing an official bios file with USB BFB feature?
If not, then change USB drive model or the port/controller has an HW issue/failure.
The provided mod can only be flashed with USB BFB as its a cap file.
NVME would only need updated if someone did the mod long ago using an old version of the currently available NVME module we all use now.
