Hello,
I just wanted to report that I was able to successfully install Bolts4Brekfast's modded
P9X79 PRO BIOS/UEFI firmware v4701 with NVMe Support on my ASUS P9X79 PRO, along with an Intel
600p Series SSD in an ASUS
Hyper M.2 X4 Mini Card plugged into PCIe 3.0 x16_4 slot (aka Slot No. 5) on the motherboard and was able to successfully install Microsoft Windows 10 with UEFI firmware and Secure Boot support enabled. I had some trouble getting the system to boot at first, but allowing UEFI/CSM mode to automatically configure itself sorted things out.
I had originally removed the motherboard, CPU (i7-4820K) and RAM (64GB Patriot Viper) from service because of problems with video output (ASUS ROG STRIX-GTX1060-O6G-GAMING GeForce GTX1060 attached to 27" Auria WQHD display) dying at random intervals, but since re-seating the RAM and building a new system around it, no further problems have occurred.
System is currently configured as follows:
- ASUS P9X79 PRO motherboard
- Intel i7-4820K CPU with Intel fan
- 64GB Patriot Viper DDR3 RAM (2 × PD000282-PV332G160C0QK kits)
- Slot 1 - ASUS GeForce GTX 1050Ti Phoenix PH-GTX1050TI-4G PCIe video adapter
- Slot 3 - ASUS USB 3.1 2-Port Card, Type A PCIe adapter card
- Slot 4 - ASUS ASUS PCE-AC55BT 802.11ac Wifi AC1200 Bluetooth 4.0 PCIe card
- Slot 5 - ASUS Hyper M.2 X4 Mini Card with 256GB Intel 600p SSD
System is powered by a Corsair 750W power supply which has tested as good, and assembled in a Fractal Design Core 2300 case for the chassis.
If anyone has any recommendations for burn-in tests those would be appreciated.
Also, I'd like to thank Bolts4Brekfast for creating the modded BIOS.
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky
