Hey All,
I recently upgraded to a new Samsung 970 Evo NVMe drive and to make sure everything went well I bench marked the drive using Crystal Disk Mark and some of my readings are coming in way lower that some on the benchmarks I have seen for this drives and was wondering if this maybe due to incorrect BIOS settings as my motherboard (ASUS Z170-A) has a lot of settings that I am not to familiar with.
Another possibility would be that I am low on PCI-E lanes again not a strong point of mine.
Below is my spec and also a screenshot of my Crystal Mark readings and would greatly appreciate any help even if its just that my results are correct or what I might be missing here.
CPU: i7-6700K
Motherboard: ASUS Z170-A
GPU: 2 x 980 Ti's
SSD: 3 x 860 Evo's (Not currently plugged in, will plug in once this issue is resolved)
NVMe: 1 x 970 Evo
PSU: COrsair HX1000i
Memory: 32GB DDR4 2300
Top Readings seem OK but rest seem far lower that benchmarks seen online.
Thanks for any help in advance.
