Corsair Force GT and Asus M4A79T Deluxe compatabilty issue!
I just recently installed the Corsair Force GT Sata 3 120 GB SSD hard drive on my Asus M4A79T Deluxe Motherboard and my issue is its running at approx half the speed as advertized which is Read 555 Mb,s and Write 515Mb,s My system set up is as follows AMD PhenomII BE720x3, Asus M4A79T Deluxe Bios rev 2205, G-Skill Sniper Ram/1600 8GB , Corsair Force GT Sata 3 120GB,s, WD 640 Gb, OCZ 850w PS and Windows 7 64bit Ultimate! Bios setting ACHI is Has been enable with fresh Install of Windows. Optical drives are set on Sata Ports 1 and 2 WD drive on 3 and Corsair on 4!
Registry settings are set as follows!
1) Run the Registry Editor (regedit.exe)
2) Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Msahci
3) Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
4) Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Pciide
5) Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
6) Shut down
7) Start up again, but before Windows boots go into the BIOS configuration screens and change the disk mode to "AHCI". Save the new BIOS configuration and restart so that Windows boots.
When Windows starts, it will detect the change, load the AHCI disk drivers, and do one more reboot to start up with them
How to enable TRIM Command in Windows 7 with a Solid State Drive
To enable or disable TRIM Command, you will need to open an Elevated Command Prompt window.
How To Open an Elevated Command Prompt window: Click on Start Orb > Type "CMD.exe" in Search box > Right click on "CMD" and select "Run as Administrator" (If you receive a prompt confirmation, click YES)
How to Enable TRIM Command
In the Elevated command Prompt windows, type the following:

fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 1
How do I know if TRIM is working in Windows 7?
In the Elevated command Prompt windows, type the following:
fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify
Results explained below:
DisableDeleteNotify = 1 (Windows TRIM commands are disabled)
DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (Windows TRIM commands are enabled)
Note!! Try to set Corsair drive up on Sata 5 but does not reconize the connection of it or the WD drive? I had read an article about some AMD boards that stated that some SSD drives have to be setup with operating system on Sata 5.
Im looking for suggestions ideas to be able to get the advertised speed of this drive and see if Ive missed any particular settings I may have overlooked!
Just a note to readers try to bear with me If you find that some of the things I ask or try to explain confusing try to look over me Ive had 2 brain surgeries and at times I have a problem trying to explain things that would have normally easy but I get confused and with my wording and all I can do is apologize its hubling for me to say this and thanks for your time!
Here are some screenshots of my benchtest if that will help!
