Asus z170-k bios not detecting s951 m.2 pcie

[JP-sabah]

I've just finished a skylake 6600k build using the Asus z170-k mobo & a128gb samsung s951 m.2 pcie, but the BIOS does not seem to detect the m.2 drive!!

It's been driving me crazy. I wanted to use the m.2 as my OS. I have removed it and reconnected it but still nothing showing on the bios. I have updated the bios to the latest ver from Asus. Have installed win8 on a separate sata ssd and windows does not detect it either..?? I have tried the various BIOS settings with no luck.....

anyone got any bright ideas? 🙁

Right this will solve it for win 10 users with usb. install update for your bios to 1910 from asus site I used a usb and ez flash setting takes about 10 mins it will reset your pc then finish installing the update. unplug all sata drives from your mobo change your boot order usb drive first with win 10. Now m2 can be seen in the boot drive window save and exit install windows to your m2 as Windows is about reset on the restart enter bios change boot order m2 drive plug in your sata drives save and exit say hello to your fresh install of windows 10 on your m2.

But on there website the latest version of bios is 1904, and i am currently having this problem, my bios doesnt see my ssd Samsung 950 Pro, and ofc when i boot from usb i can see only my hdd, i tried alot of thing from taking out the hdd and leaving just the ssd to changing alot of things in bios, still nothing. I just gave up and installed win 10 on my hdd,, later on maybe i will go to a technician for help.
