Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 rev4.0 custom bios

[shadowsports]

Hello everyone,

Thanks for custom BIOS. Works fine to me.

Can anyone tell me what causes an Ultra ATA CRC Errors on SATA SSD Samsung 860 PRO?
I hoped that after this update, everything would be ok with a drive but on occasions that errors come back again. I replaced SATA cable, even connect to the different power cable.
My setting is AHCI mode, but I think about changing 'On Chip SATA Type' to 'RAID' and see what happens. Anyone had the same problems?

Greetings,
Maybe the drive has a formatting error, bad cells or a failing controller?
Maybe the custom BIOS you are running has a problem, error or compatibility issue.

Might changing the operate mode of the controller help, sure.  Maybe?

We can only speculate.  Where to start...  Test the drive, verify its health.  Does it behave similarly in another system?

The errors were even on F2 BIOS version. I did RMA and they replace the drive for a new one. Problems still remain. Other HDD drives haven't any errors for years.
I try to run a LiveCD Linux system and test a drive.
I read on Samsung forum the problem is compatibility Samsung 860 drive series with AMD Controllers and they recommend run on Intel Controllers.
I connect to laptop Dell E6400 and test the drive for one hour and there wasn't any new Ultra ATA Errors.

Anyone have Crucial MX500 experience on that mainboard? Is running fine?

Best regards,

WoW, people still using this ancient chipset?

no it wont but this will:

not everyone has a bag of money for these things.

I updated this firmware with the proposed fixes, except the boot (broadcom boot agent 20.6.0), in which the UBU tool, apparently does not contain the version above.

Can you possibly create custom BIOSes for other Gigabyte mobos as well? Specifically, for the GA-970A-UD3P rev 1.0 in order to resolve GNU/Linux compatibility issues.

Thank you for your answer!

Yes

Hello.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4rC7reRUp6Qdnl2MUNfdEctaEk
990-xa-ud3 rev 1.0
unstable for me.

[bpn12123]

that would be awesome thanksy

try this:

Important:
The "BOOT" section of the UEFI BIOS and the shortcut to the "Bootable Devices" will not show the NVMe SSD, although it may be bootable!
After having installed the NVMe supporting OS in UEFI mode onto the PCIe/M.2 connected SSD, you will see the new bootable system drive listed as "Windows Boot Manager"
Write if work if no i will try something other.

Hi! I can't seem to access the drive. Can you help me, please?

I am so glad I found this custom bios to upgrade my 990FXA-UD3 Rev4.0 to support NVME boot for a Samsung 980EVO.  I downloaded the bios from the google drive and flashed it using @Bios utility from Gigabyte.  I installed the NVME using PCIE adapter and cloned my existing SATA SSD to the new NVME and change the boot order to pick the Windows Boot Manager for the NVME drive and it booted without any issue.  Thanks so much to Regit from making this possible. It's a good MB and this enhancement makes it even better.
