[SOLVED] Slow M.2 SDD on X370

[neiliohep]

So i got an Asgard AN3 1TB m.2 SSD, (most people wont know this brand i know) On newegg and on asgards site they advertise 3300mb/s read, my b350 board only gets 2300 to 2400 and my MSI X370 gaming pro carbon AC can only hit 1900 in the upper PCI slot (the lower one is even worse of course).
Any ideas? I simply cannot find anyway to make the X370 board go any faster and cannot find any settings in the BIOS to fix this.
I'm going to test in my buddies board and I'm confident I'll get over 3000 in it. I ha e a feeling it's not the brand but a mother board issue. The few reviews on this drive show 3000+ speeds just as the company claims. Any ideas how I can make it max out or get close to its listed capabilities?

The upper M2 slot is dependant on which CPU you have installed.

2x M.2 slots (Key M)

• M2_1 slot supports PCIe 3.0 x4 (RYZEN series processors) or PCIe 3.0 x2 (AMD® Athlon™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics and A-series / Athlon™ X4 Processors) and SATA 6Gb/s 2242/ 2260 /2280/ 22110 storage devices

I actually cover this brand on my spreadsheet although it's definitely uncommon. The AN3, as opposed to the AN3+ (different drive), uses the SM2262EN which is on many different drives like the ADATA SX8200 Pro and HP EX950. At 1TB it should definitely hit 3000+. With the X370, you need a Ryzen CPU to support x4 PCIe 3.0 (otherwise it's x2), either way you can check transfer mode with CrystalDiskInfo to make sure it's using four lanes.
