Fast & Ultra-fast Boot Speed
« on: April 24, 2016, 07:28:31 am »
When I set my board to fast or ultra-fast with the app there is no improvement whatsoever over my present boot speed of 9-10 seconds to desktop from the second Windows 7 begins loading. In actual fact, 2-3 secs. are added when I set the fast setting. I'm curious as to why this is if certain drivers are not loading. I removed the system information app as it was devouring 24 secs. during boot.

Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3 (rev1) BIOS vF6
Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz
Avexir DDR4 8GB
Samsung 850 Pro 256GB
OCZ Vertex 2 60GB
2nd OCZ Vertex 2 60GB
Samsung HD204UI 2TB
Intel HD Graphics 530
Apevia PSU 640 watts
Windows 7 Professional

afaik it has 0 to do with what drivers are loaded and more to do with bypassing self checks during POST.

Very true, and all boards are different. Also heard that Z170 and Z270 chipsets and DDR4 ram higher then stock speeds
2133 MHz are having lots of trouble enabling Fast and ultra Fast Boot Speed.
If it runs ok, leave it alone!!
