    Hi!

    I recently buyed a really nice offer of pm961 nvme 512gb but i have troubles on instalation.

    Ater put on my AW 13r3 on the second bay, everithing wors great, cristaldisk mark runs great with good speeds but with really huge temp, close to 90ÂșC. Im try to install updated drivers but nothing works.

    Drivers installer not working, standalone drivers didn't install, and all of samsung programs like magican not working.

    And cristaldisk info didnt show any info.

    I forget any step?

    Thanks!

    Well. Only works on AHCI mode. After switch mode it's recognized by windows and Cristal disk info and I can install drivers and more cooler temps, 80c but if change again to raid mode, all back again at 90c and unrecognised device. How work with raid mode?
