    Re: GA-X58A-UD7 slow boot?

    Thanks for posting this, boombastik.

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

    BIOS question

    The BIOS settings for many of the timing and voltage items offer AUTO, NORMAL and/or STANDARD options.

    What is the difference?

    Re: GA-X58A-UD7 slow boot?

    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...

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

    Re: GA-X58A-UD7 slow boot?

    parsec, thanks for your detailed report on this. It is somewhat consistent with some of the increased delay I have seen on my X58A-UD7 system since going from 6GB to 12GB RAM. With 6GB RAM and both CPU and RAM overclocked, my delay to POST was about 15 seconds....

    Re: GA-X58A-UD7 slow boot?

    NGL, when you Load Optimized Defaults in the BIOS (or otherwise eliminate any overclocking of CPU and RAM), do you still have the delay in POST?

    Re: GA-X58A-UD7 slow boot?

    I've never used XMP profiles. Always made all changes manually. Just left the AUTO settings on for items that I didn't change.

    I guess I'll keep trying to find the right combination of settings.

    Re: GA-X58A-UD7 slow boot?

    I forgot to add that I have turned off in the BIOS the USB3, eSATA and other controllers that I don't use. That hasn't prevented the long delays on power up, though.

    I do have a number of BIOS voltage and timing settings left on AUTO. It seems...

    Re: GA-X58A-UD7 slow boot?

    Thanks for your posts, guys. I think you are getting me closer to isolating the cause of the delay.

    It just so happens that this delay seems to have started when I added an additional 3 sticks of memory to the board, bringing it up from 6GB to...
