upgraded to X99 and experiencing worse boot times.

SuggestionBot

My old specs:

i7 4770K, 16GB DDR3, Asrock z97m pro4, raid0 840 evos.

Average boot times, 5 seconds.

 

My new specs:

i7 5930K, 32GB DDR4, Asrock x99m Killer, the same 840 evos.

Average boot times, between 13 and 20 seconds.

 

In case it's important I am using a 780 ti for my gpu

 

I'm getting the times from the windows 8.1 startup tab in the task manager.

 

after setting everything to boot as fast as possible, (asrock has 3 settings, normal, fast boot, and ultra fast boot), the boot times are still more than twice as slow as the were previosly.

 

A few things seem different, on the z97 platform, it would warn that the fast boot and above are so fast that you have to reset cmos or use asrock desktop utility to get into the UEFI. The X99 board doesn't say that. Related, it shows the keyboard options in the bottom right on my screen when in POST, when the z97 platform didn't show these with fast boot on.

 

Is there some fundamental difference between x99 and z97? Is this just my life now? It feels like such a bummer since I spent so much money and the benefits haven't even had a chance to show, just this.

Oh my god, why are you complaining about those boot times in the first place? Windows 7 takes a solid 20-30 seconds, depending on if it's a cold boot or a warm boot for me. If it's such a big deal, then just leave your computer on or put in in standby/hibernate...

Horrible, you keep piling up micro errors/issues when you do that, a clean restart a day keeps your issues away!

 

I believe there was something about the GPU needing to support faster boot times too, maybe you can try without your GTX 780Ti to see if it's faster?

Or does x99 not have iGPU?

I was shocked at the difference going from my EVGA 650G1 to a CX750M made. Holy balls.

I never turn any of my computers off unless there is a reason to. Once I go to bed, I leave it on for folding@Home, then go to work or school (While Its folding), come back, turn off folding@Home, game on it or work on it, then continue folding, and go to bed.(My PC has been on for 2 weeks) I'll never leave mine off, and I haven't even experienced any slow booting if I do turn it off.

Try disabling features that you do not use, like Legacy USB, Legacy Parallel, IEEE 1394 (aka Firewire), and IPv4 and IPv6 PXE boot, that should easily shave a few seconds off the boot time, additionally make things slightly simpler and possibly smoother.

You guys should stop arguing about the pc being on/sleep/hibernate/whatever...

 

If the PC is in the same room as your BED then YOU TURN IT OFF WHEN YOU GO TO BED. However silent it is, it'll still making noise.
