[Tutorial]How to add NVMe support on any AMI UEFI BIOS with an Intel Chipset

[rootuser123]

This method will work for any motherboard with an Intel 6-series chipset and above and has support for an AMI UEFI BIOS.

Disclaimer: Win-raid, Tweaktown and me are not liable or responsible if you brick your motherboard. Do this at your own risk. You have been warned.

1. Download your vendor's Z97 BIOS such as ASUS, Gigabyte, EVGA and etc i.e. if you have a Gigabyte Z77 Motherboard then download Gigabyte Z97 BIOS.
2. Download MMTOOL4 here: https://onedrive.live.com/?id=501422...&action=locate
3. Load the Z97 BIOS in MMTOOL4.
4. Click on the extract tab.
5. Go the Extract FFS Option
6. Choose the option 'Extract Uncompressed'
7. Find the various Modules named Nvme, NvmeSmm, NvmeInt13.
8. For every module press Extract.

9. Press on the button extract.
10. Exit MMTool4.
11. Open your own Motherboard BIOS in MMTOOL4.
12. Find the module named CSMCORE.
13. In the insert tab and in the Insert FFS Options and choose the option Insert Compressed.
14. Load the NVMe.ffs module click on the button insert.

15. Repeat step 12 and step 14 again for NvmeSmm and NvmeInt13.
16. Save the modded BIOS and flash it.

Thanks to Fernando and lordkag from win-raid for all the help.

I don't remember, that I helped you to write this guide, but I am pretty sure, that you were not the person, who found out, what you have written here.

I used your information on win-raid. That's why I credited you for it. Lordkag and you wrote about the breakthroughs you made about NVMe.

It should work on ASUS boards too as long as there are no conflicts of GUID. If you are in doubt please read Fernando's tutorial here:

The same principles are applied to this mod. If you need help or in doubt, please ask Fernando, lordkag, SoniX or CodeRush for help on win-raid.com

I managed to mod your BIOS properly after using UBU 1.33 by SoniX from win-raid. Please download your ASUS Z77 modded BIOS here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxg...ew?usp=sharing
