Hello Guys,

I am so frustrated.. dont know what to do. Today I bought this lovely MOBO, everything is working OK unless my SSD. I´ve noticed that the performance has decreased, the win7 64 bits loading is to slow, and my score on benchmarks (AS SSD Benchmark) is around 600. With my lastest mobo I had around 750 points.. which is a big difference.

Questions:

1) SSD is connected in one of the red sata 6 ports. and Samsung Magician software is detecting AHCI mode enable as well. Is the red, the right port for my SSD (I have red and black ports)?, Do i have to change my configuration on BIOS to get the better performance?????

2) the Intel smart connect rapid storage.. controller.. is not installed, I get an error saying un supported type of hardware.. when I am trying to install it.

Really dont know what to do... my P8Z77-M (mini atx) was a better performance... i am sure.. that is a configuration issue..

Please help me...!!!!

If you need some screenshots.. when I get home, from work i can upload it...


byebye!
