Question Boot Times

[zplugger]

My I7 13700k takes around 20 secs to boot to desktop with the power button, is the average for this cpu? Also
running ASrock z790 Steel Legend and 32 meg ram with rtx3060 gpu.

Task manager/perf/startup.
What does it show for bios time?

After the BIOS time, boot time relies a LOT on whatever software you have starting up.
And all the hardware.

20 seconds is not unusual or necessarily 'bad'.

Task manager/perf/startup.
Not seeing boot up ?

Task Manager
Startup apps
At the far right - "BIOS Time"

About average.
Mine is 13.5.

The rest of your 20 seconds is what Windows takes to boot up.
So 6 seconds.

I suspect this number varies by the pc.

I see 2.5-4.5 sec.

Perhaps look through the bios and see what options you have to turn off unneeded stuff.

Varies a LOT for individual systems.

More drives, longer BIOS
More RAM, longer BIOS
etc.

Yup....the parts involved the options enabled.

I've got almost same config. For me it takes 36 seconds with NVME from press of Power button to Windows. About 5-6 seconds to load Windows actually. But 30 seconds is waiting for Motherboard (ASsrock Z790) to initialize.
I tried everything, Fastboot, different options. Disabling all boot options. Nothing helps 🙁
Any suggestions?

If you find a solution let me know, I'm thinking it's because of 32 meg of ram. My old system had 16 meg of ram and it booted in bios at 8 sec. Now my new
machine takes 14.1 sec. What does Task manager show for bios time? Maybe it just a ASrock Z790 thing, computer is fast but slow boot ups.

19.1 sec for me. My old MSI Z270 machine loaded with 32gb ram in about 14-15 seconds BIOS + Windows time.
Here it is 19.1 only for bios. I ve tried so many things, different bios versions, different GPUs. Lots of options I tried. Nothing.

This is not normal. They also dont have an option to turn off RAM RGB when in sleep mode. For other asrock motherboard in the past they used to have.

Anyway, I really hope they will fix it asap with new bios update.

My ram has the RGB too, I have it shut off. Not sure if it makes any difference in bootup. I'm very happy
with my new build but unhappy with boot times.
