RAM Upgrade makes boot time slower

So today I just bought 2x4gb Kingston Fury RAMs to complement my existing pairs of 2x4 gb

and the moment i booted up the PC, I noticed something, 

my pc takes a lot longer to boot up.

I've read on DRAM voltage boosting, is that required of me to do so?

did you enable XMP profile? if your motherboard and ram support it

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

does the new ram match the old ram?, in other words is the older ram kingston fury, or are you mixing 2 different sets of 2x4gb,
if so, that can cause weirdness/instability.

the 2 pairs are of the same model, but of different batch, if that changes anything.

can you check if your ram is running in dual or single channel?

maybe you can try tweaking your bios and set memory stuffs

see if it improves boot time

i changed up the optimization from default to performance, it seems to speed it up a bit.
also, ive read on increasing the DRAM voltage, should that be of my concern?

 

EDIT : This is because my DRAM frequency says 933MHz.

im not quite sure, but i dont think you should have to tweak with voltage
