memory needs to TRAIN when you plug it in and boot. let it keep trying.
try all different combinations of placement in memory slots, but always match slot to get dual channel

i tried 6 different combinations, ramping up from one stick, letting the pc train the memory then add another stick reboot etc until it trained in all sticks. trying pairs in diff slots also

google ram training

make sure you dont have any bios settings manually set for ram, best to load factory defaults

Hey Rock,

For the Samsung EVO 970, which adapter did you use?

I am looking at the same thing for my Extreme6.

Thank you for this!

I will be testing Z77 Extreme4 Q BIOS with an EVO 970 next week. I'll post results! I have heard general problems with IEEE1667 and NVMe boot, Samsung say they have fixed it with 970.

What I want to do it migrate my existing OS from AHCI SATA SSD, but obviously need NVMe driver active. Not really sure how I'm going to do this?

Hello,
after long tests and trials I`ve got the Asrock Z77 extrem4 boot from the Samsung 960 evo NVMe M.2 1TB!
First updated the BIOS to latest Beta 2.90P version found here: http://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z77%20Extreme4/index.de.asp#Specification.
Following other posts I'd tried to install Windows 10 from the USB stick. yyBut in BIOS mode, don't start the system.
The workaround that helps is:
Go in BIOS in "Advanced" and ACPI Configuration: Last item in the Beta 2.90P is CSM. Turn it to ?œDisabled??


But now, you cannot start the windows 10 installation, the USB stick is no longer recognized.

Create a UEFI Windows 10 installation stick follow the instruction on this link:

https://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/wiki/Windows_UEFI_Boot-Stick_unter_Windows_erstellen


I?™ve done with the Rufus tool ??works great!


Now start your computer again ??CMS off, boot the UEFI-Stick and install windows 10 as you want on your samsung 960 evo.

After installation you find the Windows Boot Manager in Boot Option Priorities.


After the system runs stable, I?™ve changed the setting in BIOS back to CMS enabled. First boot device Windows Boot Manager.


Starting the computer, it boot the Windows10 from Samsung M.2 SSD on PCIe 3 slot. Pressing F11 while booting give the choice to boot from another hard drive. I?™ve still my old Windows7 on the old harddisc ??works still stable. Very helpful when you copie your old programs and settings.


I?™ve not tested, but I think can work also for other Z77 boards. Clear, the samsung M.2 SSD should be found from the board. This work around will help to get the drive as boot drive.


Have fun.
MU

Thanks much!


Support of the NVMe protocol is provided by the NVMe driver. There is no reason you cannot install an NVMe driver in a Windows installation on a PC with your mother board. Windows 8.1 and 10 have a built in NVMe driver provided by Microsoft. Otherwise the NVMe SSD manufacture will provide an NVMe driver, most of them do.

What is loosely called "NVMe Support" in the UEFI/BIOS is required if an NVMe SSD will be used as the OS/boot drive. Your board does not have a UEFI/BIOS version that provides NVMe support, so in general an NVMe SSD cannot be used as the OS drive. An NVMe SSD could still be used as a data drive on your board.

Certain NVMe SSDs like the Samsung 950 Pro and possibly the 960 Pro and EVO series, have a built in Option ROM that takes the place of the NVMe support in a board's UEFI/BIOS, and are able to be used as the OS drive in PCs without NVMe support.

The performance of an NVMe SSD in your board depends upon the level of PCIe support you have, which depends upon the CPU you are using. Performance does not depend upon NVMe support as I described it above.

Most NVMe SSDs require a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface to provide their full performance. If you have an i5 or i7 Ivy Bridge processor in your board, then you have PCIe 3.0 support from the PCIE2 and PCIE4 slots. If you have a Sandy Bridge processor, you will have PCIe 2.0 support in the same slots.

The PCIE5 slot will be PCIe 2.0 x4 regardless of the CPU being used.

A PCIe 2.0 x4 interface will limit the large file sequential read and write speeds to ~2,000MB/s. You may also see a small reduction in the high queue depth 4K random read and write speeds.

Or what do you mean specifically by performance?
