Hi guys,
as the topic says, i need this one cracked as i am right now deciding between ASUS Z10PE-D16 and Supermicro X10DAX.
I ve read some horror stories on ASUSs boot times and various kinds of memory issues and compatibility problems so i am now more inclined towards the X10DAX.

However

I woudl really like to make use of my SAMSUNG EVO 960 NVMe disk.
The supermicro X10DAX doesnt have M.2 support so i am wondergin if i use PCIE M.2x4 adapter, if i will be able to boot.

I havent found any Supermicro forum to ask on so i turned here for some friendly feedback :)

Thanks a lot for you time and help!
Best Regards
Martin

Hi Popatim,

Actually, I own a X10DAi and have been trying to make a Samsung 960 Pro 1TB drive (connected via a Lycom DT-120) become a bootable device without any success... Would you happen to know what is needed for the X10DAi to work in this configuration? (note that I hadn't noticed this thread and actually started another one)

Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
David

I cant say which bios version this was but it was something like this: we set efi boot mode, set the pcie slot to efi, performed an efi install of windows and then had to set windows boot manager as the boot device (with the nvme drive as the boot device within it)
