ASUS RAMPAGE III EXTREME BIOS - V1601 - Updated OROM MOD

I discovered today this other solution:

Personally I am impressed with this achievement, what do you think? what is your opinion on this method?

NVME support.
That can be done without full UEFI support.

The maintainer (İsmailTPC_Hastanesi) there created one for our R3E on 1/3/2023 (BIOS v1502 for PCI\VEN_2646&DEV_2263).

I have no need for this as my R3E is a NAS unit now.  it's OS is in ramdrive after booting.

İsmailTPC_Hastanesi will not redo another R3E BIOS.  so you gotta buy Kingston VEN2646 SSD module.

I can update his v1502 modules.  But this may break ram compatibility without the updated algorithms from v1601.

It might be worth utilizing if they come up with a multi-device support patch, instead of one per mainboard.

In the end, Ismail's bios has no interest for my system with my nvme, even if it remains an excellent job that I thought was impossible on x58. 
With it's true the default of not being multi-device, if that is possible?

Regarding your ramdrive,
it loads after a first start of Os, is that right? or after starting central unit: load Os automatically in ramdrive then run???
what OS are you using for your nas? which one do you think is most suitable for maximizing x58 performance?
And concerning the drivers installed on the OS, do you prefer those contained in the OS or manual installation of specific x58 R3E drivers?

Regarding RAM compatibility,
with the update to 1601, where can I find the compatible modules? is this theoretically ok for: Gskill Trident X 2133 9-11-11-31 (48gb)?
because even if it works well, I notice that in the bios the tRFC is (automatically) at 232, the maximum choice is 160 and the specifications
of these modules are 278 or 279.

Thanks in advance for your expertise.

The real question is can your IMC in your CPU handle 2133mhz RAM.  Mine could not.  My non-ecc memory capped out at 1866.  as a NAS i have ecc 1600 and never pushed it.

(your other questions are off-topic to bios and it's capabilities. PM me for off-topic)

Rolling back to the NVME discussion.
It looks pretty easy to add to any x58 bios, including my versions.
There is a great guide here: NVME Option ROM

Click the link to the OpROM thread to grab the module and edit tool.
Then you just need MMtool 3.19 or 3.22 to follow the guide with.

Then you'd have the best possible on the R3e.
native NVME boot, optimized OROMs, etc.

Still not an worthwhile option for my system..  And I have stacks of SATA SSDs here to replace it's current mirror boot drives.
I don't want to open a can of worms here with NVME discussion..  Start a new thread or PM me.
