NVME BIOS Mod

[Deekerr16]

Hello all,

I have a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R5 (rev. 1.0) with the F2 BIOS and I would like to have NVME support.

 

Firstly, if there are any already-made modded BIOS' out there could you share them with me please?

 

If not, I was hoping for some guidance on how to get into this myself. The only comprehensive guides I've seen so far are for Intel chipsets.

At the moment, I'm looking at this one ^ but it's a tad daunting and pretty huge.

I'm not looking for someone to give me the sparknotes version (though if you did that'd be cool too), but I'd love any helpful advice/tricks/tips from anyone who's done this sort of thing before.

 

I'm looking to use a Seagate Firecuda 510 M.2 SSD as a boot drive through a Vantec PCIe x4 adapter.

The rest of my hardware is:

AMD FX9590 CPU

Kingston Savage DDR3-1866 (16GB) RAM

Zotac Nvidia GTX 1060 GPU

EVGA 850 G2 PSU

You can use a bootloader like Clover to load an NVMe module and boot using that. How exactly I have no idea.
