The trick in ALL is the UEFI Flash. I used diskpart to setup the drive and copy the OS to it. Then the gigabyte image tool to transfer USB, NVMe drivers and the patches. I copied the SATA RAID floppy drivers to the flash as well. I used NTLite to incorporate the raid and chipset drivers. In the bios I enabled fast boot and UEFI and not legacy functions then restarted and back in bios I enabled the raid and configured it even if you cannot see it. I disabled HPET and disabled hyper threading. And that done it for me. Now, lightning at the finger tips.
