Yes, right before you mentioned I saw you guys discussion. I think in his last post just now he’s telling you to look at his previous post, for 82579 you can only use certain ones as I mentioned
Otherwise if you force it would be incorrect for that chip ID. ie as he said nonsense, meaning if you do it wrong it will force the other older one instead, and still not even put in the latest version as in choice 1 would do.
If you want things to be clear to yourself, and maybe others from new/edited post #1 - then ask him to confirm the properly suggested updates by UBU for 82579 are indeed the new/latest versions as I mentioned (Again, may be slightly newer versions in latest UBU, I did not check and am using 1.75)
EFI Intel PRO/1000 UNDI - 5.5.23 >> 0.0.23
OROM Intel Boot Agent GE - 1.3.72 >> 0.1.14
* Edit - your latest question at UBU thread is invalid, with recommended option, the above version IS installed as selected/suggested by UBU. V6 is not installed when using option 1/suggested
For this, I agree with your earlier comment on the thread, if those are correct/compatible, when using option 1, the v6 message should be removed and only shown when you attempt to use the force/2 option.
UBU 1.75.3.2 (the one I’m using), gets 0.0.24 and 0.1.15 versions.
I think he meant that program does whatever is needed for LAN ROMs to work, regardless of what option I choose.
It will replace what I got currently, with what’s most compatible (if message I highlighted is visible) and no further explanation is needed.
See my last edit above. And yes, that is what I said, it installs the latest update for your chip (82579) as I’ve mentioned all along.
As for the edit : I’m worried about reasons of putting this message in the first place though.
You don’t put it there for the heck of it in the recommended option, right ?
That’s why I asked if rollback ROM a.k.a. “compatible version” is the same for both cases.
I assumed both messages have a reason to be displayed.
There simply may be a detection issue, which prevents program from seeing “compatible” version after recommended option is used.
^100% guess work here
Yes, and that’s what I agreed with you about in what you said earlier on the UBU thread. I am unsure why it would be shown (ie shouldn’t) after choosing option #1, maybe in case someone with other chip ID chooses 1?
It should be removed for option #1 I think, but I don’t know why it would be shown anyway, since it’s detecting what is already in BIOS by DevID coded into stock module and giving you option #1 updates based on those findings.
@Lost_N_BIOS
hi again mate,
i have an issue with this motherboard(asus saberx79).
The issue is that in "Event Viewer" i get lot of error with error id "27"(says "e1 cexpress" ) and error id "1014"(says "DNS Client Events" ). In description it says these messages:
error id 27:
Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection
Network link is disconnected.
error id 1014:
Expired name resolution timeout for s1.cystream.net since none of the specified DNS servers responded.
(translated with google)
i dont know why i have this issue. it disconnects random times…but some times it disconnects 10 times in 30 minutes.
i dont know if someone else has this issue with this motherboard …i am sure it is not from modded bios as i had this error before any bios update.
also i am using windows 7 ultimate (i had it in windows 10 and 8.1 by the way).
has someone any solution for this issue??
@agentx007 as you have this motherboard too, are you facing this issue?
@Ntrako - Sounds like a driver issue, or possibly your LAN chip is going bad. If you have a spare disk, I would also test a clean OS install, to see if anything in current one may be causing it
Could also be a virus, or the disconnect caused by the virus, another reason to test clean OS install. I say that because I looked up cystream.net, and this is some music/data streaming service.
Unless that (cystream.net) is something you are trying to use when you see this, I would be concerned.
Could also possibly somehow, be related to general OC or memory errors that just happen to be affecting that.
Test at stock CPU and memory speeds, without XMP (let memory run auto/1333 etc) and use a single stick of memory, see if issue persists, if it does, then test another stick of memory just to be sure.
Isn’t ID “1024” connected with ID “27” ?
I mean, if you aren’t connected to internet (assuming LAN is your only way), and you try to open a browser (which usually refreshes pages upon opening them) - won’t you get a timeout error ?
Also, is it possible your router “hangs” or “QoS” on it does weird stuff ?
Maybe your ISP is doing something in the background (low chance of that happening) ?
I do have “27”/“1014” errors in my event viewer, but I don’t experience random disconnects…
You could buy a WiFi card on PCI-e adapter (assuming you have WiFi signal), or standard PCI-e 1Gbit LAN card…
Hi guys,
I’ve been having a heck of a time with this and I hoping you might be able to help me with what I might be missing. Flashback went fine and inspectre says that I am protected. Windows has recognized the drive(samsung 970 pro), it is set as GPT, and speed tests on it are good. I’d like to use this as a boot drive but it doesn’t show up in the bios. I’ve tried various CSM settings and there have been plenty of re-boots over the last couple of days. This adapter I am using, www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=809&area=en. Any ideas?
@tbonius - you have to do clean install to the drive if you want to boot from it, with all other drives removed while you do it.
Follow step #4 in the “This is what you should do” section here - [Guide] How to get full NVMe support for all Systems with an AMI UEFI BIOS
Once you do that, you will see “Windows Boot Manager” as choice to move to first position in the BIOS device boot list
Thanks for the reply, but I managed to get it working last night. More importantly, thanks to you and everyone else here for there work, it’s top notch, and I wouldn’t have attempted this without this thread.
I updated first post.
@Lost_N_BIOS I would like to ask for help with bifurcation support my other board : LINK
Thanks !
Greetings and salutations;
This thread has been a great resource for keeping my x79 system running with these newer SSD’s, so I’m hoping that you can help with my current roadblock.
I have a ADATA M.2 SSD on a card (in the bottom PCI-Ex slot) and have Windows 10 installed and booting fine.
I bought 4 Intel 660p 1TB SSD’s and the infamous Asus Hyper M.2 x16 card V2. Before flashing to the 4801 bifurcation bios, the system recognized one of four drives.
I’ve just flashed the 4801 bifurcation bios and set the top PCI-Ex slot to x4x4x4x4 in the bios… I think, that page makes little sense to me.
But now the system recognizes two of the four SSD’s. I can’t do much else with them. RAID options don’t work with Disk Management (spanning only offers 1TB instead of 2TB?) and I would really like to get all four into a RAID0 anyway.
Is there a post I should look to in this thread that outlines how to set the bios correctly? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I don’t want to upgrade this relic… the only things I’ve had to upgrade over the years are the video cards and I like the option of having two GPU’s running at full x16.
BTW I installed IRST after initially installing the Hyper V2 and it first showed 1 drive at 2000/mbs and then later at 4000/mbs transfer but now the IRST manager ‘crashes’/fails to launch… not sure if that is important or not, but thought it worth mentioning.
Thanks

@Orbserver Which slot you are using for Hyper v2 card ?
Because bottom slot on X79 Sabertooth is x8 max.
@agentx007 I first attempted this with the V2 in the 2nd farthest (from the CPU) x16 slot, and one SSD was detected. So I could assume that it was at least getting power and some (at least x4) lanes. Then I moved the GPU down and put the V2 in the x16 slot nearest the CPU. And lo, two SSDs were detected. That was after flashing the BIOS and bifurcating the slot (I think). I say that because I guessed at which IOU slot setting to change and the fact that the GPU is working… I’m thinking that wouldn’t be possible if the slot settings for it were bifurcated? It was IOU2. I set it to x4x4x4x4 and all the PCI Gen #'s to 3… originally they alternated from 3 to 2 to 3 to 2.
Have you managed to get a V2 card to work on the Sabertooth X79 board?
Also, as mentioned, I have a single M.2 SSD on a card and moved it to the bottom slot. That is working and has my OS on it.
My board layout is as follows now;
x16 - V2
x1 - empty
x1 - empty
x16 - RTX2080
PCI - empty
x8 - SSD (OS)
I have a feeling that its down to the BIOS settings but I know little enough about them and less regarding what needs to be changed.
Hopefully something that I’ve mentioned stands out as glaringly obviously wrong.
Thanks
@Orbserver - see these threads, maybe you will find answer. I think x4x4x4xfails, but not sure what all Asus X79 variants that applies to
[OFFER] ASUS P9X79 DELUXE BIOS 4801 MOD NVME Dxe4 (3) << read page 2-3
[REQUEST] How to connect 2 M.2 SSDs to the same PCIe slot? (12) << See last page (also, through this thread, they explain how to find what slot is what setting in BIOS (Also thread below shows how to test and locate what is what too, I believe)
[Guide] - How to Bifurcate a PCI-E slot << See first post, how to use HWINFO to locate what slot is what setting/port in BIOS etc
@JackSted @paranoid_android - Can you guys advise, did you ever sort the x4x4x4x4 issue, or confirm which boards/configurations are affected and which are not etc
@Orbserver
I use the ASUS P9X79 pretty much same as "P9X79LE" which has no PLX chips so all slots are directly connected to CPU or PCH.
I got 2 NVME drives to work on the ASUS Hyper x16 NVME card at most, either in the any x16 slot or the bottom x8 slot. There is either an electrical or BIOS/UEFI level limitation that prevents x4x4x4x4 from working, my research on this has halted.
All more expensive single CPU ASUS boards have PLX chips to automatically switch lanes between more slots which does not work together with the bios bifurcation options at this moment except for the last x16 slot which is directly connected to the CPU but can support x4x4 bifurcation.
If you really want more (more then 2) NVME drives to work I recommend to either use additional PCIE slots with single NVME adapters or buy an NVME raid controller card that splits the lanes for you, or buy a large x16 NVME "drive".
Greetings and salutations all;
I read through the suggested threads and learned from the exhaustive research of @JackSted that getting all 4 of the M.2 SSD drives recognized is probably not going to happen… at least not by me standing of the shoulders of you giants.
That said, with two having been recognized at least and the fact that these types of drives work at all in this ancient machine will probably extend its life until PCIv4 becomes the standard and I’d have to halt all upgrades (I already hit that milestone when I maxed out the DDR3 ram at 64GB just before ASUS updated the capacity to 128GB). I took advantage of some December sales and jumped to AMD of all things (2nd Gen Threadripper with 60 some odd lanes FTW!) so hopefully this new system will last me as long if not longer than the X79. Not sure what role the X79 will play going forward. It may be underutilized (if I ever fully utilized it is up for debate) but not unused or by any means useless.
So long, and thanks for all the help… and fish.
