I’ve recently built a new pc in which I used the nvme mentioned in the title, I downloaded Samsung Magician and it says the fw is up to date but there’s a fw released in February according to the Samsung website.

You could try downloading/using the FW ISO..
I saw that when I was downloading the Samsung magician, I wasn’t sure if it’s the one for my drive or if it could damage the drive due to it not being correctly updated using that so haven’t done it yet.
 
Hmm so I might give this a try if it simply doesn’t let me update and doesn’t brick or in someway damages the drive, it’s a new build so not got anything to backup but would lose £175 if the rainforest/Samsung doesn’t rma a drive damaged due to this fw update.
 
So it's not, at least in your case, a situation of Magician detecting a different controller or something. It was literally Magician not detecting that there was updated FW.

Interesting and thanks for the update. :)
No idea why but it would appear so, fortunately it was a quick and simple process.
 
Hmm Samsung Magician is saying there’s a new update but the update fails, it’s not currently available on their website. People on Reddit have said it’s failed for them also, someone said that Samsung told them that it was currently a test fw so guess I’ll leave it for now. One person said it worked after 5 tries tho I’m not going to try it several times.
