Well I just disabled and re-enabled hdr in w11 and it seems to have stopped for now so I think it's windows being weird again. 

Yeah I might have to go that route tbh. I did come across that thread before but it didn't seem to help. 

Thanks everyone! Changing the sata port worked

Check the motherboard manual to see what sata ports to use when using M.2.

SATA M.2 SSDs disable a SATA port when installed usually.

I work in retail right now so don't worry I already do haha!

Are you willing to deal every day with stupid people?

You make a very valid point here sir!.. I hadn't really considered that to be honest. 
 

Thanks for the help guys!
 
I was unable to find a cheaper HP than the 970 Evo I linked (at least with current deals running) and I'm more than happy to drop a little extra for some better performance so I think I'll go with the Samsung.
 
Also cooling shoud be fine I have 3 Case fans installed (5 including the 2 on my AIO radiator) and the m.2 slot has a heatsink on it too on my board I believe.
 
Thanks again!  

The DT1770 is not a flat headphone at all...

Just keep in mind that you can spend a lot more on headphones that you'd think. $100-$200 is actually on the low end of headphones, generally. 
 
To be clear, I'm not trying to insult you or anything, I just think that's a good thing to keep in mind. That being said, since you appear to mostly be looking for something with a flat response, you're pretty much right in the neighborhood, price wise - most pro headphones kind of fall in the $100-$200 category, as they're meant to be replaceable in a professional environment, which isn't really the case when you're talking about headphones that cost over $1,000 per pair.
That's why people like SSL haven't even logged in since January of this year (last I checked, anyway) and why I really only post every few days at most... 
 

So far I love them. I had the ATH-M50x before they got stolen in my appartement last week. The difference between both model is not huge. The bass on the M50x were a bit more overwhelming and are more "controled" on the DT 770. The highs are a bit more strident on the 770s too. I am not a true audiophile, so I may not using good terms and i may be biased a little as this is not a true A/B comparison.
 
Most people are not looking for a true flat curve and will enjoy bassier headphone, and I think the 770 are great at that. I have the 250 ohms on a Fiio e10k, there is not much difference between it and the front audio connector on my PC. Maybe a bit more bass on the Fiio. I have a fairly good z370 motherboard tho.

Yeah that is true, although they are without a doubt better there is a fair price gap. I'd say it would be worth the extra if you were to be setting up a home studio or something though. Otherwise you'd get away with the 770's (although the bass is just a touch high and the trebles aren't quite as crisp and clear), they are still a great set of phones though, I have a pair as well, you shouldn't regret the purchase.

I read that they are not a huge step up from the 770, not for the price gap at least. I bought the DT 770 250 ohm and will be trying the tonight.

I know it's seems like a simple suggestion but have you tried it with a different cable? I had problems with controller detection in the past (though I didn't delete any drivers) and changing the cable fixed some issues for me.
