make sure your booting in AHCI mode. You can go into your bios and go to boot setting and boot in AHCI. If you get a bsod then your windows is formatted for booting probably in IDE mode so if that happens go back booting in IDE mode and load windows 

 

"You start with step 1 while you are still in Windows in IDE mode.

1. Run the Registry Editor (regedit.exe)
2. Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci
3. Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
4. Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide
5. Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
6. Shut down
7. Start up again, but before Windows boots go into the BIOS configuration screens and change the disk mode to "AHCI". Save the new BIOS configuration and restart so that Windows boots."

You did a fresh OS install on your ssd right? And you havent defragmented it? Are you using SATA 3.0 and have SATA 3.0 cables for your ssd?

I don't know about ASUS' individual fast boot, but usually it shortens the BIOS time when you turn on your computer. This, however can have the effect of making it virtually impossible to get into the BIOS without going through Windows first and rebooting to it.

yea i booted from usb selected custom install, selected my ssd and went through the process, it's on the correct sata port that my motherboard manual told me to put it 

 

edit- never defragged it

i think there's a button the motherbord that makes it go to the bios, but i didn't see a "fast boot" option anywhere in the bios

20-25 seconds isn't all that slow - sure, it's no <10 second boot-up but unless you're constantly power cycling it shouldn't be that bad. Just as a quick question, how much of the boot-up time is spent in the BIOS (before you see the windows logo). If it's a considerable amount of time then some fast boot option (I don't know what it is, but it will likely be there) may help you out. Your drive performs better than mine (likely due to the fact that I have the 120GB version) and so don't worry about that - I get a 12s (approx.)  bootup.

I'm 20-25 seconds for cold boot. That is to the windows log in screen cause I got a password.

Here's a video someone did that shows how to enable fast boot in an Asus BIOS, it appears to be for your exact motherboard as well.

To me a 20-25 sec boot time for an SSD is about right, that's without fast boot. With fast boot you will get faster boot but not much faster, maybe 2-4 seconds.  I don't think you have a bad install of the OS, 20-25 is about the average boot time to expect from most SSD.
