Here is my comparison between EGFM11.3 and EGFM13 on MP600 2TB.

Just updated my MP600 2TB from EGFM11.3 to EGFM13. I have a very clean Windows 10 system (all unnecessary background processes, services and 3rd party apps disabled). Here is my comparison using CrystalDiskMark 8.0. EGFM 11.3: 1st execution (after manually triggering Windows 10 GUI trim) 2nd execution: 3rd execution: 4th execution (after manually triggering Windows 10 GUI trim) 5th execution (after restarting CrystalDiskMark and manually triggering Windows 10 GUI trim) EGFM 13: 1st execution (after manually triggering Windows 10 GUI trim) 2nd execution: 3rd execution: 4th execution (after manually triggering Windows 10 GUI trim) 5th execution (after restarting CrystalDiskMark and manually triggering Windows 10 GUI trim) Conclusion: 1. No matter which EGFM version was used, the two SEQ1M Q8T1/Q1T1 tests show totally unstable results despite no other apps or background tasks were running thus making a comparison impossible 2. All other 6 tests show somewhat stable results and there is no significant difference between the EGFM versions System details: Motherboard: Gigabyte x570 Aorus Xtreme BIOS Version: F10 CPU: AMD Ryzen 3900x Memory: 32GB Corsair CMW32GX4M2Z3200C16 Memory speed: XMP profile 1, 3200 MHz, 16-18-18-36-54 Windows Build and Version: Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19043 Build 19043 M.2 slot: M2A_SOCKET PCIe speed: Gen4 Drive usage: For OS Heatsink: MP600's pre-mounted heatsink BitLocker: ENABLED using the new AES-XTS encryption method

Hi Kevin, there is still no changelog for EGFM 11.3, neither in this forum nor on reddit. Any chance to finally get them? Help is very appreciated!

No it means the AES-XTS encryption method which Microsoft recently added to BitLocker. It can be configured via group policy so I was not talking about any hardware based implementation in the drive.

Here are my CrystalDiskMark results for the Corsair MP600 2TB. Note: - BitLocker is ENABLED using the new AES-XTS encryption method - Testing right after a clean Windows 10 Pro installation (and installing latest chip-set drivers etc.) - The drive has 1,17 TB free of 1,81 TB Now to answer your questions: Motherboard: Gigabyte x570 Aorus Xtreme BIOS Version: F5a CPU: AMD Ryzen 3900x Memory brand: Corsair Memory model: CMW32GX4M2Z3200C16 Memory capacity: 32 GB Memory speed: XMP profile 1, 3200 MHz, 16-18-18-36-54 Windows Build and Version: Windows 10 Pro 10.0.18362 Build 18362 MP600 capacity: 2 TB MP600 serial number (a photo of the sticker would be great): I attached a photo of the sticker to this post MP600 Firmware Version: EGFM11.2 Using drive as OS or storage? OS Which M.2 slot? M2A_SOCKET Stock heatsink on MP600? MP600's pre-mounted heatsink

Anyone out there who can share his experience with a Ryzen 3000 CPU (preferably the 3900X), an x570 mobo (preferably the x570 AORUS XTREME) and Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro memory (preferably CMW32GX4M2Z3200C16) when running with XMP 2.0 (either XMP 2.0 profile 1 or XMP 2.0 profile 2)? Is it stable for you with XMP 2.0 enabled? Please also post your RAM model and if you are using profile 1 or profile 2. Thanks!

Okay good to know, btw I would very much appreciate if you could post a reply in this thread since you have the x570 AORUS XTREME board. Would be great to hear your opinion. Thanks

Chymerix are you using M2A_SOCKET, M2B_SOCKET or M2C_SOCKET? Just read that the M2C_SOCKET connector shares bandwidth with the SATA3 4/5 connector. Btw do you have Bitlocker enabled? I also have an x570 AORUS XTREME and hope to be able to test the MP600 performance soon. Now after reading this thread I hope it does not suck considering the price :bigeyes:

Hello, anybody using this combo? CORSAIR Force MP600 Gen4 PCIe x4 NVMe M.2 SSD with Gigabyte x570 AORUS XTREME mainboard. I would like to know what is better: A) Keep the original heatsink that is already premounted on the MP600 (which would leave a hole in the heatsink-cover that comes with the mainboard but on the other hand guarantees the intended cooling and stability) B) Or try to unmount the original MP600 heatsink and use the heatsink-cover that comes with the mainboard (and hope it will provide the same cooling and stability) I tend to A) to keep the original heatsink and thus the warranty but would like to hear expert comments on this matter. Help is very appreciated! UPDATE: Meanwhile my question was answered here. Summary: Best solution is to use the M2A slot and the drive's original heatsink. If one wants to use the M2B or M2C slots, the drive's orignal heatsink would need to be removed in order to close the MB's chipset heatsink which covers M2B and M2C.
