Slow 970 EVO 500gb

Hi folks.

I just installed a 970 evo and my initial benchmarks are quite strange.

In crystal mark it looks OK but the 4k Q32t1 is down around 350 instead of over 1400 in most online reviews.

Is the anything obvious that could be wrong?

Motherboard?
Which port?
OS?
Drivers?

Your speeds look right to me, Samsung evo 970 specs:

I just done a quick test of my 500GB 970 EVO if you want to compare your results
