Ethernet. I booted the system in safe mode and the Windows 11 load time was much shorter. So definitely there is some service that is slowing down the Windows boot. Tried to disable all non-Microsoft services but unfortunately, it didn't work. Windows load time still took around 20 seconds. So...

I had Armoury Crate when my W11 load time was much shorter so I don't think that's the cause of long load time. And I use the app to manage my fans and some other things. I will try sfc /scannow, because honestly I don't know what could have changed to make W11 to take like 25 seconds to load...

I mean it was 5-6 seconds during the spinning wheel loading icon. Not from cold boot. Currently that load time is around 20-25 seconds. The wheel spins that long before W11 login screen appears. Definitely not normal, because that loading time used to be 5-7 seconds.

Windows 11 is installed on a Corsair MP600 GS 500GB nvme unit. It's just used for OS and a couple of applications. No games installed there. Currently I'm not at home, but I don't have anything specially heavy loaded at startup. Steam, GOG, Armoury Crate, lian li fan control app, msi...

Motherboard: ROG Strix B650-A Gaming WiFi CPU: Ryzen 7800X3D I have seen many people posting threads about AM5 platform boot times (most of them related to POST), but I don't have this issue. My POST times are about 4-5 seconds tops, so no problem with that. My problem is with the Windows 11...

Ok, thank you for your time. I will take some days to think about the build before pummeling my wallet.

So what do you think about adding these 2 bottom intake fans? Sorry for all these questions. I just want to be sure of buying the best possible configuration with my budget. Still not sure about the Deepcool LS 720 SE... I mean, I know the Peerless Assassin is a very good cooler... but man, I...

THanks for your elaborated answer. Yeah, maybe "durablity" wasn't the best word to apply there. English isn't my native language, so maybe I do not always choose the right words for the things I try to explain. About the features of the Strix b650-A gaming, I think it has everything I need. It...

Hi guys, another question. Should I buy a x670e motherboard instead of a b650 one? Some people have recommended me to buy an Asus Tuf gaming x670e MB instead of the Rog Strix b650-a, but I am not sure about this change. @geofelt yeah, the main use of the PC will be gaming. I do not do any task...

Nice, it seems I can even flash the bios through internet from the BIOS menu! Thanks for the info.

Well I have not bought the pc yet. That’s why I was asking.

It is an Asus Rog Strix B650-A Wifi. Can it be directly updated from BIOS?

Do I need to download the bios and update via USB? Or can I do it directly using the BIOS software?

@Phaaze88 another question... do you know if a BIOS update is still needed? I have read that that motherboard had some issues when 7800X3D launched back in april, regarding the EXPO mode. Apparently that mode caused overvoltage to CPU, but that was solved via BIOS update in april. I do not know...

Thanks for your suggestions. I will think about these 2 bottom fans. Maybe you are right, so I can save 30 EUR.
