How long is Ryzen 5's first boot?

[coolncoolsui]

Hey guys
I'm going to build a ryzen pc and will be buying R5 1500X along with msi B350 M pro VDH mobo
Since I've heared that amd cpu's take a while to load bios for the first time and read a few threads about ryzen not giving any display (tho they were old and the issues might be fixed) so I'm a little nervous.
How has your experience been with ryzen 5's first boot ...how long did it take?
Also does intel also have this delay in the first boot?
Thanks

I don't have Ryzen 5 (can't comment on those) but Ryzen 7 used to take a minute or two to boot. This was the first 2 weeks of release. Newer BIOSes has it down to seconds. And not displaying anything? That "sequence" could last up to 5 minutes in the past. It's down to 30-60 secs now. Only happens if I screwed up badly with BIOS settings.

What about my motherboard?
The MSI B350M PRO VDH does it have updated bios? Any suggestions so I don't run into any problems?

Buy good RAM. 3200+ Mhz Gskill or Geil if you can afford it.

How about Kingston HyperX fury (black if the colours make a difference idk tbh) ?
I'm seeing a lot of people having no post with R5 1600 with corsair RAM 2 sticks and msi mobo in most of them and only few were solved by changing the ram or trying different slots...this is a headache

Individual MB makers should list known compatible RAM kits with settings known to be stable...

Samsung B-die ram works the best. Gskill uses that exclusively AFAIK. If you can find other brands using Samsung, it's gonna be fine too.

With fast BOOT on, POST time set to 1 second and SSD, on may 16000x and Asus Prime x370 Pro it's 37 seconds to full use of W10, 27 to desktop. It's about 5 seconds from Start button to W10 start.

Crucial ballistix should be fine I guess.

If you can get it at 3000 Mhz or higher, probably. Ryzen likes memory speed.

it's super fast if setup properly,
you need to load your proper memory settings and disable boot training (waste of time, and cause re-post and no display)

on my asrock ab350 I have

Addon RomCard Display -> off
Advance Boot Training -> off
Suspend to RAM -> off

I post 2sec plus 7sec or less to get to the desktop with m.2 x4

well there's no 3000mhz for Ryzen, it's either 2960 or 3030mhz, in any case -> two dimms you'll be forced at 1T so all that fancy expensive memory that is rated at 3200mhz or 4000mhz is worthless because that's at 2T 🙂

-> 4 dimms you can run 2T but the extra load on the crappy Ryzen memory controller will result in garbage memory speed prob close to sock 2000mhz

I actually prefer lower speed memory at 1T with gear down & bank swap off for better latency and system responsiveness

i would go crazy waiting 37 secs to get to my desktop ! my ryzen m.2 x4 less then 7secs to get to the desktop from power button
