![]() But for now I want to soldier on with the 1150 platform and i7-4790K until prices come down- not to mention I just can't bear the thought of putting the old workhorse out to pasture or- worse- down.Īnyone see any issues/problems with this configuration (cost c100 for mobo/drive) before I pull the trigger (on the deal not the horse)? Thanks. ![]() I've an i7-4790K OC'ed and this may pair up with a GTX2060 without bottlenecking (?) once it's in the realms of the affordable- it can also operate at PCIE 3/0x8 lanes without a performance hit not operating with x16 lanes (?). So I'd get PCIE2.0x4 speeds on the boot drive and PCIE3.0x4 speeds on the gaming drive. What I'm thinking of doing with the Z97 is putting the 128GB Win 10 NVME boot drive in PCIE 2.0x16 slot 3 using 4 lanes (it boots like lightning) and then the 1060 3GB GC in PCIE 3.0x16 slot 1 using ONLY x8 lanes, and adding an NVME drive to hold games in PCIE 3.0x16 slot 2 also using x8 lanes from the x8/x8 split (though really only 4 since the NVME drives only use 4). It also adds FreeBSD to the list of supported OSes thanks to pkubaj 's effort to make the tools buildable there. I've an option to get an ASUS Z97 Gryphon (manual here), which has an ASUS-supplied BIOS that supports NVME drives in PCIE slots AND the PCIE lanes can be split x8/x8/x4 (there are 3 PCIE x16 slots, 2 of which are 3.0x16). This release is full of minor improvements and fixes for minor issues that laid unresolved for several years due to them being so minor. UEFITool is a cross-platform open source application written in C++/Qt, that parses UEFI-compatible firmware image into a tree structure, verifies image's integrity and provides a GUI to manipulate image's elements. Yes, that may work, it would be similar to inserting NVME Mod, but you may need to adjust BIOS settings (hidden or not), or vBIOS/GOP settings, for the other display output to be active. ![]() The 1st PCIE 3.0x16 slot holds a 1060 3GB GC using 16 lanes (only option), so the NVME drive in PCIE2.0x16 slot can only run at x4 lanes since the slots CANNOT be split into x8/x8 lanes. Guide How to extract/insert/replace EFI BIOS modules by using the UEFITool. Gigabyte didnt start offering NVMe storage support until it provided BIOS updates for most of its Intel Series 9 Chipset motherboards such as Z97 models. I'm currently using an ASUS z87M-Plus (manual here) with a modded BIOS to use an 128GB NVME drive ( this for 20 plus an adaptor thus for 6) as a Win 10 boot drive in the 2nd PCIE 2.0x16 slot.
