Intel SSD 750 & RAMPAGE IV BLACK EDITION

[NPano2]

I have a RAMPAGE IV BLACK EDITION motherboard and after reading about it a bought an Intel 750 Series HHHL (CEM2.0) 400GB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEDMW400G4R1.

My mistake... 😞

After failing to boot from SSD… at Intel site I noticed the "Before you Buy" link that says:

A system based on an Intel® Z97 Chipset or an Intel® X99 Chipset.

My question: Is Intel going to support X79 chipsets in nearby future or I have to sell my NEW SSD 750 because a can't boot from it?

Is there any other way I can boot from Intel 750 SSD with my Asus RAMPAGE IV BLACK EDITION motherboard Intel® X79 Express Chipset.

Thank you all in advance

I suppose RIVBE supports SSD750 even as a boot drive: http://www.overclock.net/t/1555586/rampage-iv-extreme-and-nvme/40# post_24341897 http://www.overclock.net/t/1555586/rampage-iv-extreme-and-nvme/40# post_24341897

Windows 7 does not have drivers for it, so we must download and put it during instalation.

Windows 8/8.1 has drivers, but after install, we should change for Intel driver which has better performance.

The Operating System must be installed in UEFI mode.

Thank you for your answer.

I have win 8,1 but i can't see ssd drive at uefi bios.

You tell me that booting from win 8,1 DVD and loading intel drivers i can install windows on it?

After first reboot, will my system see the ssd drive and boot from it, as was not vissible at bios?

You must upgrade ASUS MB BIOS if drive not seen in UEFI setup right now.

LATEST BIOS from Asus is at 2014/07/14.

I have it installed a week after asus released it.
