yes, the firmware is up to date

@RS2007GOD I have installed the Windows 10 creator version from this month so I thought it would be a bug in windows. Then I installed the Windows 10 version 1607, which is also the operating system on the old SATA SSD.

Do notice that only an NVMe SSD will be faster than the traditional SATA SSD's.

Hello, I recently bought the NVMe SSD Samsung 960 PRO 512 GB to replace 250 GB SATA SSD from Crucial. Once everything was up and running I had the impression that it took longer to open programs. So I switched back to my old SSD and my impression was confirmed. For example, opening the Windows file explorer is just doubleclick and the window pops up. When opening the file explorer on the NVME SSD it takes about a whole second to display the window. This goes the same for other programs as well. Even when playing League of Legends the FPS drops below 30 sometimes. I have installed all the drivers for my motherboard, graphics card, even a driver for the Samsung for the SSD. I updated my bios. My motherboard recognises that it's an NVMe SSD. I ran the ATTO disk benchmark and got +2GB/s seq write speed and +3GB/s seq read speed. I do noticed that in Windows taskmanager the latency of the SSD is sometime above hundreds of miliseconds, I saw it once reach about 1400 ms. While I read somewhere on the internet that the maximum latency should be around 200 microseconds. I don't know why this SSD is so slow, I don't think that it's normal for that NVMe SSD to be so slow. I am out of ideas and I hoped you guys here could help me finding what the problem is. Any help is much appreciated. Kind regards.

@porina: Thank you for your respons. I see you also have an i7 6700k. Without overclocking, if you stress your CPU to 100%, what frequency does your CPU settle at?

I've got some new information. While running at 100% CPU load, the frequnecy settles at 3.96 GHz steady. @Keesler: I will look for this in the BIOS. Thanks for your information

While just browsing this forum, the temps of all four cores are between 22 °C and 25 °C.

Hello, I recently bought a new PC with an intel i7 6700K processor. I noticed that the CPU never reaches it's maximum turboboost frequency. The CPU idles about 4 GHz when I'm doing nothing. From the moment I start using some programs or increase the CPU's load, the frequency drops down to about 3.5 GHz or somewhere in between 3.5 GHz and 4 GHz. I'm wondering if this is normal. I expected that the turboboost would kick in and raise the clockfrequency but instead it drops down. I am using a GIGABYTE Z170X-Designare motherboard. I checked in the bios, the turboboost technology was set to auto and I already changed that to enabled but it doesn't change. How can I avoid that de frequency drops when the load increases? Many thanks in advance. Kind regards

I'm not OC'ing and I have a 1000W PSU from BeQuiet, 80+ Gold

Hmm, good thinking. I don't have another PSU lying around at the moment. It also helps when I remove the bios-battery. Can it still be a PSU issue then?

Hi I have this motherboard GA-X99-Gaming 5 for about 7 months now and I'm having issues with staring up sometimes. Sometimes when I push the powerbutton, nothing happens, completely nothing. The same thing happens sometimes when I want to wake up my pc from sleepmode. When this happens, the only thing that helps is switching off the power supply for about 60 seconds and then power on again and then my pc starts. There is no sequence or action at first sight that cuases this problem and I have updated my bios to the latest version. Can you guys help me fix this issue? Many thanks in advance, Kind regards

Hello, I have a 2 bay Synology nas and I want to expand my storagecapacity. I first thought to buy a 5-bay nas but they are quite expensive. For the same amount of money, I could build my own much more powerfull nas. I'm just left with the question of which OS shall I use? I find the Synology DSM very easy to setup and userfriendly. This OS also has a built in firewall. I'm looking for a NAS OS with a GUI since I'm not a pro with commandline interface and I would like to have the OS a firewall that is relatively easy to setup. I want to use this nas to share my data at home and I also want to be able to share with the world by creating a sharing url. It would also be very handy if I can access my data from anywhere else. At the time I'm also asking myself if it is necessary to have a firewall on a NAS? Can this firewall job be done by a standard touter such as the TP-link Archer C7? I tried Freenas and it looked very stable, but I want to avoid the tons of ECC RAM and it has no firewall. I also tried Nas4FRee, OpenMediaVault and Ahami but these have no firewall and don't have as much options as Freenas. I Saw videos on youtube of LinusTechTips where the OS's Rockstor and Unraid are mentioned. Do These have a firewall? Are there any other suggested OS's? All help, tips and suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.
