Yes, your BIOS does not offer timings or voltages for memory, even hidden. To boot from a NVMe drive, the special BIOS EFI module is required.Thanks for the other images. It is not present in the BIOS of this old motherboard, therefore it needs to be added in manually. This post is based entirely on this win-raid forum. I am merely sharing my experience of modding my BIOS, the steps I’ve performed based on the forum. This can also be considered as a simplified guide.Īll credits goes to Fernando for creating the guide and CodeRush for his UEFITool. These few files are used by me for the mod.ġ. The original latest BIOS file, from Gigabyte official site, linked here.Ģ. This tool is not free available, but it is easily found by google search, so I will not link it here.ģ.ĪMI’s Aptio MMTool (v4.50.0.23 recommended).

Road to BIOS mod Using MMToolĪs Win-Raid forum suggest, MMTool is the safest method, so I go for it first.

Normally when this occurs, we can try to insert it compressed. But…įrom this point onward there are two options, the safe option, insert the “small” NVMe module with MMTool and call it a day. The not so safe option, use UEFITool to insert it. MMTool might freezes momentarily while inserting the module. There is no window showing that insertion is successful, but it can be seen at the bottom of the Vol. ![]() Save Image and overwrite the original file Insertion is successful, press “Save Image”, and flash the BIOS. I personally prefer to “Save Image as…”, to avoid touching the original BIOS file.

The modified BIOS file should be opened again for verification. It is easier to compare both side by side. ![]() The only difference should be the addition of the NVMe module, and nothing else.

Launch UEFITool 0.28 and open the original BIOS file. This will pop up, select yes, search for the NVMe module. It appears that insertion is successful, no error message or whatsoever during insertion, and the module is visible when the BIOS file is reopened. Full NVMe module is 21 KB Flashing the modified BIOS MMTool is able to see the inserted module just fine.Ĭomparison of original and normal NVMe module inserted. Since nothing appears to be broken, the modified BIOS file can be renamed properly and copied to a USB flash drive formatted to FAT32. ![]() Normally, I leave the USB flash drive plugged in the USB port before restarting my PC. I flash the BIOS through the built-in Q-FLASH function of this motherboard. Just press (or spam if you failed a few times) the END button upon startup. The Q-FLASH menu, select “Update BIOS From Drive”. The other entry is probably because my BIOS is already flashed and the NVMe drive is plugged in. ![]()
