Why is my boot time so slow using a NVMe pcie 4.0 m.2.

[↑↑↓↓←→←→BASelect]

I don't have much running in the background just razer software. There is nothing in my startup folder i ran virus scans and it found nothing. I even checked in bios and fast boot is enabled. What else can i do to get faster startup times. Right now my boot time is 26.3. And i heard alot of people have 5 seconds or less.

Specs:

MB: ROG CROSSHAIR VIII HERO x570
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
RAM: G-Skill 32GB 3200 Mhz
GPU: MSI RTX 2060 Super
OS Drive: 1TB Samsung 980 Pro PCI-e 4.0 NVMe M.2
SSD: 1TB Samsung 970 EVO Sata
HDD: 7x 2TB a combo of Seagate and WD all 7200 rpm
HDD External: 2 TB Seagate
HDD External: 4TB Seagate

How are people measuring 'boot time' these days exactly?

Cuz if we're talking about a full cold start up that is the moment you press the power button on the PC case to the exact moment the desktop wallpaper shows up(excluding additional programs load up time) on the screen, then twenty something seconds actually sounds reasonable regardless of a PCIe4 M.2 SSD or a regular SATA3 SSD. I know some tend to ignore the motherboard POST time and only consider the amount of time after the Windows loading animation pops up on screen to the moment the wallpaper shows up on screen, thus drastically reduces the 'boot time'.

< 5-second claims are really pushing it, unless it's a warm boot from Sleep or Hibernate. I don't buy it to be honest.

cold start to desktop showing up and reasonably responsive

When are you starting the timing and when are you stopping it?
Also, do you have a boot manager installed on the drive? Sometimes the BIOS installs one and it really slows things down.
I have the same drive as you and I can tell you that most of the time it's the motherboard messing about. The actual boot to windows once is accesses the drive is very quick. Having said that, windows spends a lot of time messing about even after it has apparently booted. My guess is nothing is wrong at all.

I think high end gaming motherboards have too many features and thats why the take a while to boot.

Both my current pc (ROG Maximus XI Code) and my old one (Rampage V Extreme) take ~30s to boot.

But a ~£300 prebuild from 2011 that i upgraded with an ssd boots in under 10s from the press of a power button to the desktop…

To the last few replies, read the thread. This was answered a year ago. The gist of it was, OP was having long BIOS boot times (and longer overall turning-on-to-ready-to-go) and was wondering why. The reason (or at least a big part of it) is all of the storage drives.

Yes it was my usb 3.0 hard drives slowing the boot time down. If i disconnect them and do a cold boot it's 17.4 seconds boot time. I'm going by the task manager startup tab.

That's surprising to me, if you still have the seven internal HDDs. I currently have a similar startup time shown for my last one (slightly slower, even) with three HDDs (and one SSD) present. When I had five HDDs, I was seeing a bit more, like 23 seconds to 28 seconds I think (going off of memory though).

Yes i still got 9 internal drives 8 sata's and one nvme.

Cold boot, power off at the plug, and from the time I push the power button to the time the desktop is fully loaded with icons displayed. We timed it at < 5 seconds with a fresh base install of Windows 10 - a lot of changes to bios settings to reduce bios to minimal time.
Using a Samsung 960 Pro - this was a few years ago

Figure as much and that's all good.

However for most of the average users, turning on the XMP/DOCP profile and changing the drive boot order is as far as they'll ever go into the BIOS settings. At the end of the day, it's literally pointless to measure boot time with a stopwatch on a regular basis. Spending hours trying to figure out how you've lost 0.2 seconds compare to last month sounds like a far worse way to waste even more time.
