Samsung 840 Pro running slow

I've had this SSD for about 6 months and despite my benchmarks, my load times seem to still be very slow. For example my most played game (EVE online) takes over a minute to load into the log in screen and titan fall over 2 minutes to load into a match. This is the first rig I've ever built so I'm not sure if everything is set up right, but my benchmarks suggest otherwise. My fathers Kingston 156gb SSD with lower benchmarks loads games twice as fast, and he's running the same mobo and all. Any pointers as to how I could fix this?

your 4K scores are fine, your Sequential write speed is 75% lower than it should be as I see you have enabled RAPID mode you should be getting 800 to 1000 MB/S write speed

1) what antivirus do you use?

2) try installing the IRST Controller Driver ONLY (not the IRST app)

Have you tried a different sata port? That board has the native AMD and a asmedia controller. Native controllers seem to work better.

True, and no I have not. Will give a try

Ok I swapped from the ASMedia port to the native AMD port and haven't noticed much difference... I've updated my images in the original post and those speeds should be more up to par with what is expected. However, loading into games is still taking quite long. From the moment I launch until I get to the character selection screen in EVE online it takes about 1 minute and to load into a match of Titan Fall it takes about 2 minutes which is ridiculous. With these benchmarks, I'm not sure whats going on.

I think it's the controller that's limiting you here.

Intel controllers are the best

There are much more things that influence the speed of your SSD. Beside that, in some cases, RAPID mode is slower than normal mode. And your benchmark scores with RAPID are low, in my opinion very low.
How much space is free on the SSD? How much data have been written? Do you use AntiVirus? Is TRIM "really" working? -> http://files.thecybershadow.net/trimcheck/
Run Crystal Disk Info and post a screen of the full RAW values. Try other driver. Switching from ASM Controller to the AMD controller was the best thing. 3rd party controlles deliver weak performance.
