Note the Intel Management Engine version in the photo above!
Further observe the non empty padded files; which implies the NVMe mod should be done using MMTool 4.50.0023.
** Your board should be upgraded to ME 8.1.70.1590 before you update the BIOS. Copy the contents of IntelME.zip to the root of a DOS boot drive, boot from it and run flash.bat (doing this in advance speeds up the BIOS flashing procedure quite a bit and prevents possible ME version clash issues).
So I just flashed this onto my ASUS Z68V PRO Gen3 board…after flashing the IntelME update…rebooted but if I select UEFI Boot etc the PC won’t boot and I can’t get back into the BIOS I have to reset the CMOS…so what gives…the new modded BIOS I thought was supposed to allow UEFI boot from M.2 SSDs etc.
Thanks for replying…my other non Pro board boots fine in uefi mode with the modded 3603 bios…but the pro after flashing the intelME update and the .rom in this thread…in the first post…won’t even save in the bios …bios locks up and I have to reset back to default with a CMOS reset. Both boards have unlocked CPUs running closed loop water blocks so I’d like to keep them going … anyway thanks again.
I reread the install OS setup stuff you linked to…I think that has answered an issue I had on my p8z68v-gen3 board, the one that does boot with uefi mode enabled…so thanks for reminding me of that thorough detailed explanation…I only read it once when I first joined and most of it went over my head…
Hi there! Could you say to me what were the procedures did you take in order to install OS into NVME? Have you updated the Intel ME? I couldn’t find the files to update it, nor any tutorial teaching how to do this update. So I updated my bios without updating Intel ME. Bios is functioning ok, but when I try to install windows 11 into the nvme, a message is shown saying my bios have no suport to GPT.
My english is very limited, my head is anching of trying things work without success.
So thing is…
P8Z68-V PRO/GEN 3 does not have options to desable secure boot. At least I didn’t find it anywhere. What have you done?
Could you describe the steps you did in order to boot your nvme ssd in this board?
This board dates from 2011 so you should try to install Windows 10; as Windows 11 isn’t technically supported due to lack of TPM 2.0 etc…
Further, as others have noted there is no CSM in the BIOS to switch on or off. If you can find a Samsung PRO 950 256GB or Samsung 950 PRO 512GB this has the built in *.ROM to allow booting into a non UEFI environment.
Thank you for this! After a bunch of faffing around I was able to reinstall Windows 10 onto a 1TB SK Hynix PC401 NVMe M.2 ssd on a generic PCIe x4 to M.2 adapter in the 3rd PCIe slot (the other PCIe x16 slots have GPUs already) and boot crazy fast now!
