So as a quick rundown of what I am running:
6700k (kraken x61 cooler), 16gb ripjaws V ram, ROG Maximus VIII, MSI 980ti, 1tb 850 Evo

My boot times are about 40 ish seconds from when I press the power button to when I land on the windows desktop. The reason I think this is slow is because my laptop (Razer blade 2015) boots in 5 ish seconds, and my secondary pc (pentium 3220, 960, hybrid drive, generic gigabyte mobo) boots in about 20 seconds.

I have my post delay to 0 seconds, and I have my boot priority set to windows boot manager because if I set it to my 850 evo I get a message saying insert a bootable drive and reboot. I have no overclocks done on anything.

Timing my boot it takes about 11 seconds from when I hit the power button for the ROG logo with the hit del/f2 to get into bios. 4 seconds on that screen. Then it goes black for a second and goes to the ROG logo with the spinning thing for about 8 seconds. Then my screen goes black (like it got disconnected or the computer is asleep) for about 10 seconds. Then windows pops up logging into my account.

I have fast boot on in bios, and changing it in windows never did anything. Anyone got ideas? I'd like to get the boot time down to the 20 second range if possible. Thanks!
 
Solution
I'd get the latest BIOS, and then see how it does and maybe without the USB hub and other externals, then add them one at a time, it may be havining trouble detecting one item or the other


I have what ever bios that came with the board, so I assume not. It was a clean installation of windows. And for external devices I have a HTC Vive (sometimes a 4k monitor or tv in its place), a 1080 144hz and 1080p 60hz monitor. A usb hub with keyboard mouse, analog mixer, external sound card, External drive, elgato game capture card, etc. (basically around 10 usb ports a full). Throughout all the different things I have had plugged in at different times it has always been this slow I believe but I can check by unplugging almost everything in around 3 hours.
 


sounds good, I'll do it when I get the chance
