Yeah JJ has a strawpoll going to see if the demand is high enough to get official support on older boards: https://pcdiy.asus.com/2015/04/asus-nvme-support-poll-voice-your-opinion/ Also in a reply to a comment asking for support for Rampage IV Extreme black edition he replied: "My internal test have shown it works stay tuned for a “update” on boards not officially supported. I will be showing some tests of what I find internally." (http://pcdiy.asus.com/2015/04/asus-z97-x99-motherboards-intel-750-series-nvme-ssds-all-you-need-to-know/) Guess theres not much to do but wait and see what he (or others) finds..

So I take it that it's not possible to circumvent the X99/Z97 limitation, by having the bootmgr on a regular AHCI SSD and pointing it to winload on the NVMe SSD, in either CSM or native UEFI mode? I want one of these drives, but it would kinda suck to not be able to boot it on my Rampage IV Extreme. It's a tiny bit too expensive to be a storage drive Anyone with X79 up for doing the testing? JJ from Asus said that in their testing it sorta-somewhat worked (he wasn't very specific), but it would take a long time to get anything verified/certified..

You can, but only X99 and Z97 are "supported" though other chipsets are reported to work on some motherboards. If you have an older ASUS motherboard than X99 or Z97, please vote here if you want boot compatibility on it: https://pcdiy.asus.com/2015/04/asus-nvme-support-poll-voice-your-opinion/

Any chance you could test boot compatability on older systems? I want one of these (add in card), but i am still running x79 on Rampage IV Extreme with an i7-3820. Some people say that RIVE is capable of booting on NVMe, but ASUS won't confirm anything. Also various load speed benchmarks would be awesome
