Boot up time discussion!

[LewisManslow]

Hi there, currently running a Seagate barracuda 1tb Hdd, A8-6800k, a88xm mobo. Takes about 50 seconds to boot and another minuite or so to load everything etc... Getting a new ssd, cpu, mobo for xmas (850 evo, i5 4690k, undecided motherboard) dont know which mobo to get, would love to have something known for fast boots if anyone has got any reccomendations? Anyway would be interested to hear your specs and boot up times below!! [emoji3]

I have a kingston v300 and boot time is roughly 5-7  secs. Most people say this sdd is bad because its slow but imo i think a 5-7 seconded boot time pretty good.

[flibberdipper]

My boot time has gotten a little worse from Windows getting clogged up and my Pentium holding it back a bit, but mine is about 5 seconds.

[LewisManslow]

Any mobo reccomendations guys??

[ManWithBeard1990]

Kubuntu cold-boots in about 25 seconds from a 5400rpm 1tb laptop hdd, and an A4-7210. That's a cold boot, mind you. None of that deep sleep malarche Windows does to make you think it can boot quickly.

If you don't include POSTing time, probably ~5 seconds.

any ssd should be fast enough

 

the motherboard choice shouldn't make any difference

Mobo shouldn't make much of a difference, considering how much time the pc spends on bios before switching to windows. Just get a dwcent z97 board for your i5

[Tmt97]

Im curious. How fast is the boot time with an average SSD? Is it possible to get instantaneous booting, if your creative and use the right hardware/software?

Open up task manger and click "More Details" then click on "start up" it will come up with a list of things that start with your computer from here you can disable all the performance hungry and annoying things like Skype and Dropbox making it easier on your computer.

OR Not limit your computer's functionality and get an SSD!

stop suggesting ssd?

only works on windows 8 and 10 btw

with windows you need to use system scheduler

I've got SSDs in Linux and Windows 7 systems. I've put an SSD in a Vista system and I could put one in a Windows 2000 system, if I saw any point to it.

SSD or install linux or the most lazy option, put your pc to sleep instead of shutdown

Moved to New Builds and Planning.

Its not limiting the functionality its just having certain things not try to open as your computer boots up, you can still use them they just wont already be open, while having/getting an SSD would be better this is a viable option for those who cant afford one and/or have a laptop and cant add one.

idk how people are getting 5 s boots, maybe if you do not count POST or if it is in hibernation mode and not an actual boot, but my boot is like 15-20 seconds...

[LabRat]

I have a 5800k on a budget asrock board with 4 or 8gigs of 2133 and it boots to the desktop in about 20s, maybe less. the trick........... plextor ssd. an ssd makes all the difference.

 

you can try the msconfig box and shut down non-essentials in start up and services to see if it helps at all..... which it will.

[dcb-z]

I use an SSD and I get about 45-60 seconds from hitting to power button to desktop. I don't really care though because I usually just put my computer to sleep and it wakes up almost instantly from that.

[Gazereths]

10 -12 seconds. I use a Samsung M.2 SSD and have all non essential startup processes disabled.

X99 POST time is pretty long due to memory tests (I could disable them but meh on those two seconds). My POST ends, and I'm in Windows pretty much instantly, doing stuff.
