NVME effecting GPU overclock?

Hi all.

 

I've recently installed an NVME drive in my computer, and it seems to have effected how much I can overclock my gpu? I'm only using MSI afterburner for my overclocking and userbenchmark.com for my results but if I try and overclock like I did before when I was using the SATA drive, the benchmark doesn't quite run all the way through and doesn't give a score.

 

I'm on an ASROCK b450 steel legend Mboard and the gpu is in the steel slot. (Nearest the CPU). THE NVME is in the slot marked "ultra m.2" I don't think they're on the same lanes? I do have another m.2 slot and another  pciex 16 slot. Its only getting to 75oc in the benchmark so isn't overheating.

 

 Before the NVME upgrade my gpu was "'performing above expectations' its now performing below expectations and if I overclock I dont get a read out at all.

 

My rig is:

Ryzen 5 3600

GTX1050TI 

16gb ram

 

Before you jump up and down about the older GPU. It plays all my games at 1080p a refresh rate higher than my monitor refresh rate. So no need for an upgrade just yet.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts?

I'm going to assume the m.2 is not a boot drive or something 

Remove it and then try 

If the problem goes away.

Yeah its the boot drive. I used the Samsung solar to migrate my drive over. Its the evo 970

Yes, damn Samsung NVMe's reducing clock speeds. But seriously I would first blame the lazy OS migrate that can cause problems.
