A few weeks ago, I got myself a samsung 970 evo plus, and installed it, everything seemed fine until I tried playing something because my clockspeeds didn't move past 300mhz under load and were stuck on 1455 when idling, the odd thing is that this only happens when I have the new SSD installed, when I have the old one nothing happens, I tried moving all of the data to the new SSD to see if the issue was having 2 SSDs at once, which didn't work, I also tried:
Updating the Bios
Rolling back the GPU drivers
Choosing the right GPU in the nvidia control panel
Changing the power management to maximum performance
Changing power plans
Updating PredatorSense
But nothing seemed to work.

    As mentioned, this Samsung NVME model has already been reported to cause issues. I suggest returning it for a refund and get a plain vanilla NVME up to 2TB. Though not the fastest bleeding edge tech, the WD blue series are recommended for being a more practical, less troublesome alternative

    One m.2 socket is mainly for SATA cards and the other for some but not all NVME cards.  The Samsung plus has been troublesome for many NVME mainboard sockets.. Did you try it in both sockets?

    Yes, I  tried moving the NVME to the slot where the old NVME used to be which didn't work
