" rel="nofollow - Has anyone successfully used the Intel 750 NVME SSD with the X79 Extreme 6/GB? Just thinking about upgrading to an SSD, and I want to make sure they'll work with this board... I cannot seem to find any information other than someone was able to make it work with the X79 Extreme 11. I want to make sure that this X79 Extreme 6/GB board is capable of booting from it as well. I do not want it as my secondary drive. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

In order for any mother board to be able to use an NVMe SSD as the OS drive, it must have NVMe support in the UEFI/BIOS. The latest Intel mother boards have NVMe support, older boards require a UEFI/BIOS update that adds NVMe support. Your X79 Extreme6/GB does not have a UEFI/BIOS update that adds NVMe support. The X79 Extreme11 also does not have a UEFI/BIOS update that adds NVMe support, so I don't know how true the information you mentioned really is. If in that case a Samsung 950 Pro was used, then it may be possible since that SSD has a built in Option ROM that allows it to be used as the OS drive on boards that do not support NVMe. A potential alternative for you is in the link below. The same website also provides instructions on modifying the UEFI to add NVMe support: http://www.win-raid.com/t2375f25-Guide-NVMe-boot-without-modding-your-UEFI-BIOS-Clover-EFI-bootloader-method.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.win-raid.com/t2375f25-Guide-NVMe-boot-without-modding-your-UEFI-BIOS-Clover-EFI-bootloader-method.html ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">
