Hi guys,
I'm pretty new to PC gaming so bear with me please.
My system specs:
10700
Gigabyte H470 HD3 (2X X4 M2 NVME SLOT)
16GB @3000mhz
GTX 1060 6GB (Temporary)
750w Seasonic m12ii evo
Yesterday I bought an ADATA XPG S8200 PRO NVME 500gb to replace my 500GB Kingston SATA SSD as my main OS drive. even bought an aftermarket cooler to keep the drive cool.
I then Installed it on the top NVME M.2 SLOT the one nearest to the CPU but when I ran the benchmark its showing speeds at around half the advertised speed.
Things ive tried. Fresh OS installation, "Optimized" the drive/os and made sure that it's running at x4 not x2 and made sure that my sata drive is not in the same lane as my nvme drive.
I took a picture of my current BIOS setup and tests hoping that maybe you guys can find sense on what is happening to my drive, because I can't. (I'm not that "BIOS Savvy" lol).
Please see below for the images.









Please feel free to drop your suggestions or thoughts, every bit helps 😀
