I recently purchased a 970 evo plus with advertised speeds of up to 3500 MB/s read (yes i know i wont reach the full 3500) but Samsung magician states that the drive is stuck at PCIE 2.0 x2 instead of PCIE 3.0 x4. I checked GPUz to make sure my 2060 is running at 3.0 (and it is) using x16 lanes.
In bios, I have all PCIE options set to gen 3 (not using any gen 2) and have tried the x4 x4 option as well as the x8 x4 x4 config and still stuck at gen 2x2.
PC Specs:
MOBO: MSI Z97 Gaming 5
CPU: i7 4790K @ 4.00 GHz
CPU Cooler: 120mm Corsair Liquid (model discontinued/can't find)
GPU: MSI RTX 2060 Gaming Z
Main storage: 970 Evo Plus 1 TB
Additional Storage: 1TB HDD (unsure of the RPM's)
PSU: Corsair CX500M
MEM: 32gb of Corsair Vengeance @ 2133 MHz
