    Re: GA-X58A-UD7 slow boot?

    I don't know why I lose paragraph formatting every time I edit one of my posts. Anyone?

        I gave up on this very problem a couple years ago. I am now just researching to see if anyone has solved this problem since I just recently moved my X58A-UD5 into a HTPC role. The 30 seconds of nothing before POST is now driving me crazy. I recall I couldn't get all 6GB's of ram to show up at the same time and after some tweaking and about 1 million bios updates they fixed it so that my ram showed up however this was one of the side effects of the fix I guess. I gave up on it until now. I patiently await to see if someone has a solution to your problem. If you happen to figure it out without anyone's help please post back telling me your solution. GL
        NGL - After some more tweaking and using my computer, I have some more info which may or may not be relevant to curing the slow boot issue. I have been using my X58A-UD7 for 4 years now with very modest overclocking (to 3.1Mhz on a i7-920) and very good system stability. When I added an add'l 6GB of RAM I did some more tweaking of the overclock settings. But I never was able to get the system 100% stable, even though it was usable. But the memory related system crashes seemed to be increasing and I tried some more setting changes. I decided to select for the first time the RAM SPD profile available in the BIOS and changed my multiplier such that my rated 1600Mhz RAM was now running at 14400Mhz instead of what I had been using for 4 years (1500Mhz). With the new multiplier, the CPU was now running at 3.8Mhz, with turbo over 3.9Mhz. This was unbelievable, to me, as I had never gotten past 3.1Mhz before without problems. The system is now running completely stable, at much greater CPU speed and only slightly lower RAM frequency. And, as a bonus, the system beeps and starts the boot process only 12 seconds or so after hitting the power switch. Every time. This is down from 35-40 seconds with the prior timings. I am only a novice at overclocking, but I feel that perhaps the answer to the slow boot start is to get the RAM to run at one of the correct frequencies - 1066, 1280, 1333, 1440, or 1600 Mhz. (Not sure if I have all of these timing options right.) My prior settings resulted in 1500Mhz and slow boot. Now running at 1440MHz with very quick boot and at rated RAM timings of 6-7-6-6. Let me know if any of this helps you.

          After 5 years i found the real answer to it ed1.
          I have the same motherboard.
          To start the pc in one second only one thing matters. The right deference of voltage qpi/vtt and dram.
          This motherboard overvoltage qpi/vtt 0.04 from the number that u have in the bios.
          I have a triplle channel that in xmp wants qpi/vtt 1.315 voltage and 1.500 dram voltage.
          So i went in bios and i enabled xmp profile, but in qpi voltage i fill in bios with the number 1.275. So 1.275+0.04=1.315.
          If i put in bios 1.255 voltage my start is 7 sec.
          if i put in bios 1.315 voltage my start is 10 sec.
          If i put in bios 1.275 voltage my start is 2 sec.
          So see what voltages your ram needed and put the manual. But not forget your qpi/vtt voltage to be -0.04 voltage of the real voltage you want to target.

          P.s. Also enable mouse legacy make mouse movement better and put your hpet setting to 32 bit.
          Hpet 64 bit is all gigabyte x58 is buggy, i have done tests for over a year. Put it at 32 bit and trust me.

            Thanks for posting this, boombastik.

            I will do some testing with your suggestions, particularly the comments on qpi/vtt voltage.
