Hi all,
This is my first post here. I just built my first ever gaming PC. Things have been pretty rocky, but I finally got the PC up and running. I was skeptical of my build as it was my first time doing this, so I decided to do some benchmark tests. I used UserBenchMark and got some concerning results:
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/26028271
As you can see, it's asking if my Samsung 860 EVO SATA drive is even plugged in. It is, and I've tried plugging it into different ports on the MOBO and have gotten the same results. I've run every test there is on the Samsung Magician app and it says there is nothing wrong with the drive. This prompted me to run out and get a Samsung 970 EVO M.2 drive and install it. It's installed and you can see the results here. I really don't know much about computers/hardware, but aren't those Read/Writes on both of these SSDs coming up very low?
Do you guys have any suggestions for fixing this? I bought the M.2 SSD so that I could benchmark it and, if in proper working order, start from scratch by installing Windows on it as the boot drive and see what kind of results I get.
Also, I know these benchmarks aren't necessarily the final authority on how your PC is performing, but why is my GPU performing so poorly? I have the GeForce Experience application and it is recent on all updates. Is there anything else I can troubleshoot?
Thanks.
