X79 Extreme 6 BIOS with NVMe boot support

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have two motherboards from AsRock - the Z77 Extreme4 and X79 Extreme6
The first one can boot from NVMe SSD with 2.90P beta BIOS, but the second one lacks such a capability, even though it's an HEDT board

Sure thing there are internet guides on BIOS modding to get NVMe boot support for X79 boards, but wouldn't it be fair for all AsRock X79 boards' customers to have an official working beta BIOSes from their favorite manufacturer - like Z77 owners do?

Thanks!

	Actually there is a way to uncover NVMe boot for all Z77 and X79 boards And i've done it myself for X79 Extreme 6 by modding its BIOS using a guide available at win-raid.com But my post was about that strange fact that HEDT platform owners have to do it manually themselves, while mainstream platform owners can stick to official BIOSes And it's even stranger because simply updating a BIOS and posting it at AsRock site wouldn't actually cost anything for the manufacturer Edited by MarginCall - 29 Oct 2018 at 5:03am
