Title: Speed Up Boot Time X79-UP4
Post by: RampantRadio on November 17, 2013, 05:55:14 am
Hello, it's taking about 45-50 seconds from hitting the power button to the windows password screen. Are there any settings in the bios of this board that may help reduce the boot up time? I have a Samsung 840 series 120gb SSD, GSKILL 16GB DD3 RAM, WD 500 GB HDD, Windows 7 Ultimate.
Thanks!

NO I have the same board my is the same. The only thing that might work is if you have any USB drives that are on when you boot up.

It help by about 15 sec when I don't have them on. Other than that I don't know what to tell you. Now my other X79 board with windows 8.1 will boot in about 20 sec.

Now I don't know if this will help and I never tested it. You 500gb is it connected the intel or Marvell controller.

I have 2 600gb raptors connected to the Marvell controller and I don't know if that is some of the problem.

Thanks for the reply...How would I turn the usb drives off in the bios...or do you mean actually turning them off via a power button...i have a 1TB USB External plugged in that goes to sleep when pc is turned off...

Turning them off by the power button and turn them on when you need them.
