Low read with my Samsung 960 EVO 250GB on my new Asus Z270 Maximus IX Code

[RRGT19]

Hi,

I had an Asus H170 Pro Gaming that I sold it today. I bought an Asus Z270 Maximus IX Code, link: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-MAXIMUS-IX-CODE/

 

With my old H170 I had 3,200 Read but, with this brand new Z270 I have 1,800 Read.

 

I have:

• BIOS updated
• Samsung NVMe Controller installed
• Intel Chipset installed

The only different thing that I did with this new motherboard is using the second M.2 port that is available. See photo attached.

 

I have noticed that I have two warnings on my Device Manager, I don't know if this can be the problem. See photo attached.

 

Device Manager:

 

 

My old Asus H170 Pro Gaming:

 

 

My new Asus Z270 Maximus IX Code:

 

M.2 port used:

 

 

Do you know what is the problem, why I'm having low Read with this brand new motherboard?

Shot in the dark, but have you tried plugging in a fan and directing air to it?

The SSD is at 32 C which is normal.

did you happen to have samsung RAPID enabled on the old motherboard?

or is that not a thing for NVMe drives

that is not an option for the 960 series.

The problem is solved.

 

There was an option in the BIOS where you can select X2/X4 for the M.2 port number two, and X2 is selected as default, I have changed it to X4.

 

I have 3,200 Read now.

 

thanks to all of you guys who tried to help me.
