I ordered Samsung 960 EVO NVMe just to realize after installing everything that this motherboard runs its m.2 at x2/x1 speeds and so the 960 evo won't perform to its potential. I kept getting around 700MB/S for reads which is far from its advertised speeds.
I followed kgp's guide and generated ssdt to get full speed stepping for the CPU and although it worked, Sierra was kind of sluggish and I kept getting low geekbench scores. When I followed your guide everything works perfectly and Sierra is running smoothly.
I have a very smooth working system but I also want the speeds of Samsung 960 EVO NVMe. So I have two options
- Return the Samsung 960 EVO NVMe and keep my currently stable system.
- Buy a new motherboard that supports faster speeds for m.2 NVMe and risk going through the hassle of setting up everything again. I just wish that my current NVMe installation would work immediately without any changes if I switch to another motherbaord.

Thanks for the guide
BTW. I've noticed that all my USB 3.0 ports are outputting low voltage compare to my previous mobo z87x. Previously I could feed ie. phone with 800-900 mA and right now I'm getting only 300 mA. Any thoughts how to resolve this ? Thanks !
PS. Oh, and all my USB 3.0 are running fine, tested the speed with BDST.

Hello Malki!
First of all thanks for all the information from this guide, it is very well explained all the process. I have installed Sierra, a lot of things work, but I can't use USB 3.0. I have put all the kexts on the EFI, and when I go to the system information, all the USB apart from only one are USB 3.0, and for example I have connected an ssd via usb 3.0 and only moves files at 32mb/s . I have checked all the USB from my computer (same motherboard and config as you, apart from the graphic card) but the USB are very slow.
I attach pictures if I'm missing something:

Thanks in advance!
not sure if you already made a decision, but the way I am doing it, is with a simple PCI-e adapter, https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=12K-017B-00001.I ordered Samsung 960 EVO NVMe just to realize after installing everything that this motherboard runs its m.2 at x2/x1 speeds and so the 960 evo won't perform to its potential.
