The same erratic behavior is also seen while benching my 850 EVO or 840 Pro. It seems that in Windows 10 the combo 990FX-Phenom II 1090T that i have is not used properly, who knows, maybe inefficient drivers. I have a pair of 480 SSDs, and I'll try to install them in RAID0 configuration with the NVME 951 drive as a boot drive to improve the performance of my system, in the future I'll offer a RAID guide of this config, and tell you how it goes.Īs i was afraid.the culprit was Windows 10.i cloned my Windows 7 UEFI 圆4 installation from my laptop's 950 Pro (it's an intel laptop.lol) and i got the correct numbers. I'd recommend to install the Samsung NVME drives during the WIN7 installation, so the OS recognizes your drive without issues. | Copyright (c)2010 American Megatrends, Inc.Good test Felix, I wish you find the best performance of your 960 pro, this will benefit everyone that wants to take the max advantage this MOBO offers with M.2 drives.

Use the EZ Flash updater to flash the BIOSĪppendices MMTool Report for modifed BIOS.

Copy the updated BIOS file to a USB flash drive (extract it from the 7zip first).

Enter a 'Vol Index' (the module from the 990FX BIOS went in at '01').

Insert the extracted DXE file into the latest version of the motherboard BIOS. No investigation into the differences was made. The second one I tried from an Asrock 'Fatal1ty 990FX Killer' v1.30 BIOS worked so I used that (the BIOS was new and it's description included 'Improve M.2 compatibility' and 'support NVME'). The first was from an Asrock Z97 Extreme6 BIOS. Once complete I was able to boot the machine directly into Windows 圆4 v7 (SP1).

Reading some of the the following information on the UBU tools might be useful. This procedure uses the ' mmtool.exe' executable. Add the SAMSUNG_M2_DXE file to the Asus motherboard fileĭownload the UBU rar from and put the files into a directory.Extract the SAMSUNG_M2_DXE file from a BIOS.This should serve as a good advertisement for the BIOS support in Asrock motherboards. I also opened a support ticket with ASUS but that has proven to be fruitless. This documentation is the minimum I had to do to get the BIOS booting. At the time of writing the UBU (UEFI BIOS Updater) v1810 supports Aptio 4 BIOS - newer X99 chipset boards are not supported by this version.

This steps are only appropriate for motherboards with AMI BIOS. Using the MMTool Aptio a bootable BIOS was generated by using the Samsung_M2_DXE from a Asrock BIOS. The standard Asus BIOS for this motherboard doesn't support booting a Samsung XP941 NVMe SSD (MZHPU512HCGL-00000).
