Personal Rig Update 2015

May I ask why Windows 10 was not installed in the faster EFI mode? (Or  am I wrong, with Windows 8.1 the startup logo changes to an Asus logo when installed in EFI, but it can be different for Win10)

On the installation medium (Win 7 and newer) there are always two bootmanagers, an EFI and a normal for older motherboards.

When installed in EFI mode Windows already loads while the mainboards do the postchecks and the startup is quicker.

This is also the reasen why the introduced directBios in some motherboards (button or header e.g. you can use that in stead of the reset button and have a little programm for Windows to start directly to the bios because you have nearly no time to enter the bios.

Often the normal startup ist started automatically and you have to select the EFI installer manually in the bootmenu.

But even in normal mode...is 45 seconds to slow. It should be faster with that SSD.

Do you have the X99 platform? I went from an 11 sec boot time on Z97 to about 50 seconds just going to X99. Not sure if what you are saying is applicable here.

Kinda unexciting knowing all the parts are freebies from OEMs.  There's no "why did you pick this part instead of this part?".

Is possible i dont know the x99 platform very well, i just guessed the more expensive x99 will not do a lot worse then z97.

Is there a reason why there is so a big gap between x99 and z97?

yah I'm sooo wondering myself what Thunderbolt dock and if you could do this with a USB 3.0 or 3.1 dock? and where one can find suck docs and do they pass Video through from the graphics card and do any support dual and triple monitors.. it would be nice to have some distance from my tower and still be able to connect everything

I'm thinking he will keep his "to the death case". This is upgrading the core so that he can replace his wack of refurbished ssd's with one that is way better. Smart move.

Not true,he'll replace it

At 12:30 when Linus boots up the computer, it looks like he is booting in legacy BIOS mode. Why not install it with the proper UEFI boot loader? Honestly at boot time of 45 seconds seems kinda slow with that hardware, seeing that my z77 2500k setup boots in less than 10 seconds?

Does anyone know why it took 45 seconds to boot after the upgrade? My desktop boots in 7 seconds? Maybe I missed something. I am not that tech smart thats why I watch lol.

 

Well, he seems to not be booting in UEFI mode, which will slow things down. Still, I would have expected 20-25 sec boot times at worst.

Like what the others stated the X99 platform has an impact on boot times

Remember when Linus spent over 1k on that case alone? smh.....

 

How long will it take for Linus to finish this series of videos? 1 year? 2 years? 3 years? never?

How will he name those videos? Part 1a? Part 1.1? Part IV?

Place your bets, people!!

1:36 hehehe. I have a 4960X too. Just ran Cinebench and got 1213 points. Hehehe. I guess mine must be overclocked a bit more. Obviously, Linus has the last laugh cos his new 5960X does 1389 out of the box, and I don't plan on upgrading for a couple of years yet. I must say though, I don't like the idea of the rack mount thing. Feels too ... cold. I have too much attachment to my case to consider doing that myself.

Oh my God the HYPE!  Loved Personal Rig Update 2012, now I can't wait to see this rack mounted setup.  I saw someone on reddit do something similar in their house, however I think it was on a much larger scale.  His rack was in the basement and the PC were on the 2nd floor of his house.  It was sick tho.  He was also running his NAS in the rack as well.

 

Planning on moving your home NAS to the rack as well @LinusTech!!?

Linus timed his boot time from the moment he hit that power button to the moment it showed the lock screen and that took 45 seconds. If it was timed when the desktop and all start up programs are loaded, it might have taken a bit longer. To speed up the boot time, you'll have to go into the bios and disable uncessary componenets, set your OS as primary boot, and set a lower delay time out. Doing that and it should speed up the boot time. Time it took for my X99, from pressing power button to all start up programs loaded is around 45 seconds. Cannot enable fastboot because my gpu HD5850 don't have GOP support. There is a free program call Bootracer, that can time how fast your computer boots.

Well Linus' 2012 rig had a raid card that needed to initialize before the boot could be complete.

The new one doesn't and still takes a glacial 45 seconds.
