Hi all, does Aquacomputer kit cause slow boot up time in any way? Trying to figure out why my newly built system is taking a while to boot.
Motherboard is asus z690 maximus extreme running a 12900k (stock profile or OC profile). From pressing case ‘on’ button to seeing the boot logo on monitor, takes 26 seconds or so. And a further 12-14 seconds to get to windows. By contrast my old system (4790k on a z97x-soc) was much quicker.
- This system has a few aquacomputer controllers attached (as did the old system).
- I have fast boot enabled in bios.
- I am hiding the post and set it to 2 seconds for the window in which to press F2.
- Windows 10 OS is running from an NVME m.2.
- I have disabled loads of ‘startup’ software and various things in MSC boot window in windows.
- I don’t have any usb sticks or external drives plugged in, or any gaming peripherals. I have a usb hub connected (same as on the old system)
All in, boot up from on button to windows is approx 48 seconds or so. Old system on new install with no software loaded in half that, and still faster than this new system, even with software installed. Can’t work it out. Any ideas how I can speed this up or what might be wrong? System runs perfectly other than this. But just trying to ascertain if it might be some of the aquacomputer kit (hubby, octo, aquero, etc) that might be causing the issue or not.
Much appreciated
