Nice, that will close the gap and make it similar to my 4770K ASUS Hero mobo setup
Used to love testing how quick the computer would boot up into windows many years ago. These days I don’t care so much, as long as it is under a minute, a few seconds here or there I can live with, but obviously faster the better
Looks like the BIOS is not far away. Looking forward to it to see the list of improvements and doing a few benchies

This is what I had several years ago as well. Modern systems really should be just as quick.
Damn that is quick in that video. Never seen anything that fast before to be honest.
My Amiga 1200 booted to Workbench way faster, less than 5 seconds.
Anyway that’s a laptop and doesn’t have to do all the hardware checks that a desktop system has to go through before it gets past the bios. Boot times are all about the bios nowadays.
My old Z77 with a 2600k boots quicker than my Gigabyte X570 and 3900x!
Anyone else with a Gigabyte X570 not very impressed with the BIOS? A few things bother me, with an OC the BIOS menus are very laggy, and it does not seem to want to run in higher resolution like my old Z77 board did.

Same, my ASUS Maximus Hero (cant remember which number 6 I think) was more feature rich, looked nicer, was smoother and loaded it's BIOS faster.
One of the things that I really liked was it has a secure erase utility built in the BIOS which made formatting the SSD a doddle. Don't get why Gigabyte do not include such a thing as it is very useful in my opinion.

My X570 Taichi is in windows before my monitor has powered on, crazy quick.
Damn, so this is Gigabyte thing? I have not enabled Ultrafast boot mode, but might give it a go after updating to AGESA 1.0.0.4.
I heard that it is actually better to leave the boot option on normal and not rushing it. Can't remember where or why though but at the time it made sense.
Well, because of this:
But at some point during the initial starting, the driver sends a signal to the monitor to wake up. So, what you describe sounds strange.
You need to have the monitor before logging in Windows.

The login screen is the first thing that appears as my monitor comes out of standby. Very occasionally catch a glimpse of the spinning dots but it’s silly fast.
This is with a relatively fresh UEFI install and fast boot on.

I couldn’t get fast boot to work previously as I’d taken the same windows 10 install from machine to machine since release, don’t think it was UEFI. With a fresh UEFI install though it works perfectly, no issues with getting in the BIOS and silly quick booting.
Yes but some monitors take longer to wake up than others. Mine is pretty slow but then again my X470 Taichi Ultimate is also slow to POST so the monitor usually turns on before the POST report appears. :/Well, because of this:

I never leave my monitor on standby. I always switch it off. Then first thing I switch it on and then turn on my pc so the monitor always kicks in way before the bios even gets to the screen where you can press del to go into bios menu.

X570's should be any day now then.

Nice
Just installed Bios 7F for my gigabyte Master which includes AGESA 1004 and SMU 46.54.0. No problem booting at memory speed of 3800Mhz and IF at 1900Mhz. Boot times are definately faster but Max and single core boost clocks are down by 50-100Mhz on previous bios. PBO used to make a small difference but now hinders boost speeds. Hopefully i have just missed a setting or a newer bios version will correct this

Which exact mobo are you referring too?
Because when I Google 'Gigabyte Master' I find the Auros master x570 which is on BIOS F7b ABBA. So not 1.0.0.4 Agesa.
