According to Anandtech it should look something like this:
What PCIe gen is your slot running at? 2 or 3?
im starting my build tomorrow, similar to deders
Same mobo & CPU. I have a OEM win 10 pro CD, will I be able to just directly do it from that or will I need to install to something else install the drivers and then clone it over?
I dont even have these transfert size (.5 and 8192.0) available?
It is indeed set to gen3 in the bios. I have an asus z170 pro gaming board, and the intel drive is set in the 3rd pcie slot, could this be the problem?
Will be interested on how you get on. My install was fine until I had to install the Wifi and Asmedia USB3 drivers.
If you mean the 3rd large slot it should be fine as it runs at 4x. the small slots all run at 1x apparently.
You might want to look at the PCIe slot power settings. Sometimes they clock down a mode or 2 to save power. It may be that activity on the disk isn't triggering it to go back to full speed.
Yes, large slot. Will look into the pcie power management options in the bios.
I only have PCIE native power management disable/enabled. Is that it? Its disabled by default.

TBH im prob not even going to install the wifi drivers, its not something I will use and IMO somewhat wasted on a desktop, I got CAT run everywhere already

With power management disabled in windows 10, its better but the samsung still leads. I also installed the nvme driver from intel and the lastest drive firmware.
On my MB which is a Asus Maximus VII one of my 16x slots is only 2.0, you might want to look at your manual and make sure the slot your using is Gen3?
from asus.com
Expansion Slots
2 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (Single at x16, dual at x8/x8, )
1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (max at x4 mode, )
3 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x1

Unfortunately it is a necessity for me. The engineer said he couldn't put an extension in to put the router anywhere but the opposite end of the house from my computer because the outside wiring it too old. Thankfully it's a great wi-fi implementation. Way better than any dongle I've had.
Still let me know how you get on with the AsMedia USB3 drivers.
Which GPU are you using? I'm having difficulty getting my Asus 780DCII OC to boot in UEFI mode with CSM disabled. Would also be interested to know what kind of boot partitions windows makes for you.

Noctua DH-D15
Asus Z170 Delux

That looks much better. I presume you have installed the chipset drivers?

How does the 980TI handle full detail on the 34"?

question for any of the posters with a 950 PRO in their possession - what is the covering over the controller and nand - is it a plastic applique or aluminum?
