That is mostly affected by your storage. Since you say it takes so long, I assume your OS is on a hard drive, maybe even a 5400rpm one? If you are looking for fast boots times, buy an SSD to put your OS on. That being said, if you do have an old PSU it can't hurt to upgrade.

Posted March 10, 2020 unfortunately Core reviews are yet to hit, so all we have is internal shots it looks like a downgraded focus, but performance compared to it is still unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no expert on the exact inner-workings of a power supply. But to my knowledge they should pretty much instantaneously deliver power from the wall. They pretty much just deliver the power to the motherboard which then takes care of the startup procedure from there. The only difference a good vs, bad power supply has is the quality of that power, how efficiently it delivers it, and how much it can deliver. A long startup of components is probably related to your motherboard bios since nothing turns on until after it has completed its startup checks. And I believe this would only be remedied with a new motherboard, or possibly faster storage as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why but I stand corrected. For your system I imagine any Corsair power supply would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
