STRIX X99 Slow NVME performance, Missing NVME options in 1504 BIOS

[kcmcc]

Has anyone else noticed this with the latest 1504 BIOS? Now there are no NVME options in the bios settings, and I am getting poor performance from my 950 pro. It was running fine on older BIOS.

Does your Magician 5.0 recognizes the 950 Pro ? Mine doesn't... Can't upgrade FW, can't use it to benchmark the drive. Not sure about performance though. And yes NVMe settings are gone from the BIOS...

I'm able to use Magician fine, updated firmware on the older bios, but it does report all stats. Also using version 2.2 nvme driver. When I run a benchmark, it's very slow. My 850 is more than twice as fast.

Interesting for Magician. Here version 5.00 doesn't see my 950 Pro, while 4.9.7 perfectly sees it with all its information. Apparently Magician 5.00 fails to recognize the drive with that log :

😞 And where are the NVMe options of our Asus BIOS ? Can we find them on Mars or Jupiter ?
