[Hussein Mahfouz]

Hello Experts,

Two days ago i bought BPX 120 M.2 to replace my SSD 850 Pro.

I was Surprised with the low performance and temperature (70c-80c) ID 60c !!

this is the expected results from the vendor

My Hardware Specs

Windows 10 (1803)

I7 4790K (With Corsair H100i)
Asus HERO VII Z97
RAM 32GB DDR3
GTX 970 G1
NZXT Case (two fans front, one fan back and two fans top)

The ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO M.2 socket only operates in PCI-E 2.0 x2 due to the Intel Z97 chipset's limited number of PCIe 2.0 lanes.

Your expectation of PCI-E 3.0 x4 speeds are completely unrealistic.
