New samsung 970evo way slower than expected

[alistair_]

I recently bough the Samsung 970 evo thinking it would drastically improve the speeds of my computer as looking at screenshots people are getting around 3000MB/s read on crystal disk, however I am only getting around 800MB/s, is this a motherboard issue?

My current motherboard is a gigabyte Z370 HD3

Hi! From what i know, This very much so could be a motherboard problem, Maybe you just got a faulty m.2 though? I would check with samsung and see what they think.
