El_Capitan Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 When are you starting the timer? Everything before you even see the Windows logo is the Motherboard. You need to start your timer when you first see the Windows logo, and the time it takes until you boot into desktop and click to launch IE... at least that's how I log my boot-up times.

Yes, you don't count the BIOS load time since that doesn't run on your SSD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Yes, you don't count the BIOS load time since that doesn't run on your SSD. That, and every post screen is different. Some may show extra information, wait for network boot, etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_of_java Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Another thing to check is some of the settings in the BIOS. You can turn some things off you're not using (i.e. onboard sound if you're using an USB headset or serial/com port if you're not using those), and that should decrease the amount of time it takes for the computer to load through bios. As far as the actual windows loading, there is this website called Black Viper's that I've used for years, and found very helpful to shut off unneeded windows services. Be careful with shutting off services though, as some may be what you want/need, while others are linked to ones that you want/need. Just back up your system and have fun tweeking!

Waco Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 That, and every post screen is different. Some may show extra information, wait for network boot, etc... This. I have a few boards that take 5 minutes just to post because of all the crap on them. Granted, server boards aren't consumer boards, but still. I time from the first time I see Windows booting. Anything prior to that isn't going to be changed by using an SSD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 On an ocz revolution 50 gig drive I have a 40 second total boot time and about 15 seconds of time OS starts till windows is fully functional and CPU idles down. If the motherboard was better at posting it would he a 30 second boot. Every board is different so try not to count it in the boot. I have a biostar that goes from button press to OS boot in less then 5 seconds.... I'm not sure how but that's life.... justvremeber that anything under 1 minute is great... I'm used to work computers that may have a tape drive in them so coming home to my comp is awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smduff Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Is the ssd plugged into the Intel controller port or a marvel port, that will make a difference as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
