Instant post AM5, it´s possible.

I don´t know how to prove this but my system started immediately after I made two changes, on top of it it´s an ASUS mobo which actually is supposed to be one of slower ones to post. Can´t record while shutting down the pc though.

Anyway, neither changes worked on their own.

The first change was to use EXPO 1 and choose the second option which "downgraded" my RAM to 5600 from 6000, I checked Youtube and the performance loss is negligible. It also lowers the voltage from 1.35 to 1.25.

The second change was to turn "memory training" on, something mentioned in a lot of posts and Youtube as well.

I didn´t expect an instant post though, I have tested the system for about 30 minutes and it passed with flying colours.


The first boot was slow though, the second and hereafter it has been instantaneous post/boot. I get into windows in about 5 seconds upon pressing the power button.

To clarify:

Post : The time it takes to get anything on the monitor.

Boot: The time it takes to get into windows.


PS: On top of everything the system is a lot snappier now.

Well, after the info I got above about checking bios post times in task manager I took a pic, a lot slower than it seems according to task manager ... 9,3 secs. It doesn´t take long to get into windows. I timed the post with my smartphone stopwatch and got 5,6 secs ...

Anyway, it´s a lot faster than it used to be.

Out of curiosity what is your OS and drive configuration? Windows 10 or 11? and How many/what kind of drives you got in your pc?

Also can you do a userbenchmark run and post a link to the results here?

Win 11 home

Asus B650M-Plus TUF Gaming Wi-Fi x1
AMD Ryzen™ 7 7800X3D Processor x1
Corsair iCUE H100i RGB Elite 240mm x1
Intel 670P 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD x2
Kingston Fury Beast 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM x1
Corsair CX750F RGB 750W 80+ (Modulær) WH x1
Vision Viper M130 Black kabinet x1

+ a 3080 which I had already, it´s a new build

After checking the benchmarks on single vs dual configurations of DDR 5 I opted for a single stick of ram. Not that much of a difference apart from the 1% lows, could be that the single stick allows for faster boot times with the memory training on ... but have no idea.

You can go into task manager under "startup apps" and in the upper right there is a "last bios time" which is basically your post time. I think 5 seconds is probably a bit of a stretch for AM5.

Well I get a solid 7.3s BIOS time on Windows 10 with a i5-10600K and 16 GB of DDR4 (3000) so getting sub-5 seconds is probably not that hard on modern hardware.

That said, I don't think post/boot-time is a very important metric on computers as it is. Even, with double-digit boot times I wasn't about to sit in front of the screen and groan about how slow it was on any of my previous PCs.
It's kinda like how it takes a few seconds for fluorescent lights to flicker on in the basement after flicking the wall switch, which is a minor inconvenience at worst.

It doesn't really work that way. The last bios time is how long the UEFI takes to initialize your hardware and is really just dependent on how optimized the firmware is. Your cpu speed or what ever has no real impact on that. AM5 boot times are slower mainly because its a new platform and isn't fully optimized. It has improved greatly since launch and will continue to do so I'm sure, its just not at the 5 second mark yet, 15-20 is more realistic. Even if it was 30 seconds I don't think its a big deal.

i can see 9.5s but no way to be true . it s like 3-5 sec.

Ticking time bomb

Only if it's an X3D and the BIOS hasn't been updated correctly.

[bladeshredder]

nah screw am5 that is a bomb waiting to go off im happy with am4 and dose a great job thanks so this subject is not interesting what so ever sorry dont want my pc to melt like most have said and i dont find it a big upgrade completely pointless at the moment so no thank but enjoy your melting pc and expensive cost eventually tho

[Bad 💀 Motha]

What is even the big deal? 10 secs vs 15 or even 30 secs.

If you care that much why not just leave the PC on for a week at a time. Reboot when you go to take a break, get food/drink and such.
