CPU: i5 3450
RAM: G Kill Sniper 8gb 1600
Mobo: Gigabite z77 u3h
GPU: 550ti 2gb
SSD: Samsung 840 PRO 128gb
HHS: seagate momentus750gb

Fresh install of windows 7 in AHCI mode
Ran Samsung's magician software for maximum reliability.
Installed Intel's RST.

From when I hit power button it takes 27 seconds till windows is ready to use.

In my boot priorities I have Windows Boot manager >Samsung > Seagate

I have my SSD and HHD on 6gps SATA 3 ports running to my Intel sata 3 ports.

I've seen people with sub 10 seconds boot time.
Please help?

On startup I have

Skype
AVG
Samsung Rapid mode
Rainmeter (low profile)
Launchy (low profile)
Intel usb 3.0 monitor
Delayed Launcher (Intel)

I believe my systerm reserve was turned off due to Samsung Magician tweaks

Rapid Start (Intel) is enabled in BIOS

In dish management I see there is a 100 mb EFI system partition on the SSD

is that the system reserve?
