    Getting back to the point, I installed a little USB fan into an internal USB port on a USB car and pointed it right at the SSD. it now runs in the 30C range. Same performance.

    no, no, your thinking is backward. the full suite can highlight thermal throttling, yes, but it doesnt prove it. to eliminate throttling as a possibility, you would then want to eliminate a variable... the heat. if you run a full suite and random reads tank, you might think, oh, thermal...

    it touches 55C once or twice I disagree that that's the only way. If the results are always consistent, that is, the Random Read is always the same regardless of if I do it independently or with the full suite, then the full suite is not necessary. Remember, what I'm doing right now is...

    Ah, yeah that's what I've been doing, with the F5. It doesn't even get over 50C EDIT: Well, okay, it does if I run the full suite of tests, but everything else comes up normal every time but the random read test, so I've been running that by itself. It never has a chance to warm up.

    I'm beginning to think I just have a faulty unit or something like that. I see other people posting about "slow" performance, and it's still several times faster than what I'm seeing.

    Samsung 950 PRO [Official Thread]

    Do you have a recommendation for software to check that? Is there a way to see flat out if things are throttling? I mean, I can't believe that this thing is just incapable of being run at all. Cold start, things starts at 35 C, check the temp through the test, it goes up to 45 tops, it starts...

    yeah but even a 10C change should keep me nicely below throttling levels. it does to realtime readings. well, its adjustable. ive never seen it over 47. My room is nice and chilly, and i have good airflow

    In the screenshot above you can see the temperature stays in the mid 40s. Drivers.. I'm just using the Samsung ones, from www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/consumer.html All motherboard related stuff is the lastest from ASUS. I had that set at X2 mode, experimenting, and I...

    Ugh. Got me a ROG Hero VIII and just got a shiny new Pro 950, and performance hasn't been quick what I'd hoped. So I started benchmarking, and I'm getting IOPS that are like... 1/5th or 1/10th of what I'm seeing other people get. in the BIOS I've turned off everything I can think of. SATA...
