My motherboard (ASUS Sabertooth Z170 Mark 1) was one of the early m.2/nvme adopters, and as such it does not employ a heatsink only a little "pocket" with a plastic lid on it that is supposed to get at least some benefit from the tiny little motherboard fan, although I don't think it helps one bit. One area that has definitely improved is the thermals.
#VERIFY SAMSUNG NVME DRIVERS INSTALLED DRIVER#
I don't believe I ever manually updated the driver since originally installing it when I first got it around May of 2016.
#VERIFY SAMSUNG NVME DRIVERS INSTALLED UPDATE#
To be honest, I am not even sure which version of the driver I had been using prior to the update, as I thought the magician software was keeping everything up to date (this is the first time I've ever had an "alert" from magician that I need to update the driver). The pic I attached are of the old results.
The 709 read score is now never above 650/660, although I'm not nearly as worried about that. New results are exactly the same except the two ~400MB/S write scores in the middle are always between 200-300 now with the new 3.3 driver. There have been some windows updates and other minor changes to my software/OS environment since then, but nothing out of the normal and it has only been a month since I last tested (3/8/20, with crystal disk mark - it is now 4/5/20).
Unfortunately, I noticed a significant drop in random write performance (in benchmarks, at least).
