Hey guys there!
I got a couple of questions related to the BIOS and m.2 settings there. I've got a 2TB hdd, a normal ssd 256Gb (840 samsung) and I got a new ssd 970 Evo Plus m.2 nvme 1TB, until here everything is correct. Motherboard is asus x99 deluxe and got a I7 5820k.
I have my normal ssd to sata port, the same like the hdd.
I plug in the new ssd into the PCIEX16_5, why? because I don't have the HYPER card with me (I'm living in another country) and neither have the nvme bracket which comes with the motherboard for the same reason like the Hyper card.
So I bought a pci adapter and plug in there the 970 Evo and connected to the PCIEX16_5.
In the BIOS I don't know which settings should I change to get an optimized performance of the system because the normal ssd (which contains the OS) runs now a little bit slower and the new ssd runs totally slow.
In the samsung magician software I could see something like 970 ssd = pci 2 x 4.
To be clear, I didn't change anything in the BIOS, just updated the firmware.
The pci slots are not set up in any "gen", all of them are auto.
The only settings I know for sure is that the CSM is enabled and set up to UEFI and OPROM, the other settings under this like Boot from Network Devices, from Storage Devices, from PCIE-E/PCI Expansion devices are in legacy only.
In advances/onboard devices configuration the PCI-EX4_1 is set up to auto. (I can't see here a line saying something like PCIEX16_5 where is connected my m.2). I don't know if I should make a clean installation of windows as I've read (Why? I got my windows installation in the normal ssd), am I plugging the m.2 in the wrong pcie slot? should it be the PCIEX16_4 instead of the _5? should I change MoBo + cpu to another one more up to date?
for sure I have to change the settings and I would like to have the advice of experienced people like you because probably the BIOS needs the correct settings and the ssd's and hdd set up correctly with the maximum performance possible.
Thank you very much in advance, I'm feeling really worried about this.
