Well, having a similar problem with a different mobo/cpu combo, but two things come to mind:
I am sorry to say I discovered why I could to get it to work..
Bios updates to work with NMVe drives "only" goe back to z97 motherboards (with bios update) and not back to 87 motherboards.
So even with the most current bios, no NMVe support is available.
Now, if you have and are staying with z87motherboard and processor, I see only one way to get near NMVe speed, as I had done.
Get a 8X raid card and several ssd's in a raid 0. I got an Acrea 1213-4 8X raid card going to "4" 60 gig corsair F ssd's in a raid 0.
This provided a proven 2200 read and 1440 write speeds. However, there is always however..... your boot time will be much longer as the raid card bios takes a while to get through, but once booted, it screams.
The big question seems to be what series chipset is on your motherboard.
My solution was to purchase a z97 motherboard and use an asus m.2 mini card in 4X slot.
(After updating the bios to the newest one on the manufacturer's site.)
I am still waiting receiving my new motherboard and would be happy to let you know the results.
Since I have a 4970K processor, I had to get a motherboard with a 1150 socket.

to me, since I might even try to sli sometime in the future, I think I'll go for the 40 lane processor and let the board handle the ssd by putting the pcie on.
although I won't change my mind that this is a poor option for such a mobo, not letting us manage which pcie slots we want on/off on a 28 lane cpu.
from this day on I wont recommend this mobos to anyone.
its not going to be my responsibility if some guy has the bad luck to buy a cheaper processor and the mobo strands him out from her full potential because her software doesn't like its cpu. 🙂
if the problem was the SSD disk, you would even see the drive when booting from a pen to start installing the SO like I did.
its after that when booting normally that the SSD gets banned from existence because its slot gets disabled.
