Nice, I have some of the 3466mhz C16 arriving on Tuesday. Hopefully I'll get it running at those same timings. 1.35v?

Yep, 1.35v with 1.4v boot. Just to help with the cold boot issue people get with high frequencies. Mine occurs when the PSU has been unplugged.
 
Looking forward to the Ryzen APU's. Am def going to put a lil build with an APU together, Ideal for the kids. Now the CPU side is strong alongside GPU. Will be interesting to see how the APU can handle 1080P. Guess these will be a while though. AMD busy pumping out millions of console chips alongside all the new desktop launch products.

That time is just between power on and hitting the windows loading screen as far as I'm aware.

Intel systems are around 6-9 seconds.

TBH 6 seconds or 20 seconds, does not make a bit of difference to me.

At work I can hit the switch, make a cup of coffee and get back to see the password entry screen come up (i5 on a company network).

As long as it does start correctly and it is speedy in operation, it gives me a little time to think about what to do first.

Or leave the system on 24.7 like me and never have a boot issue time "issue" :D

Good point
Yes boot times on my intel was much faster ...I would like to know why Ryzen is so slow to even post never mind loading windows..i assumed it would be resolved with bios updates and to be fair with the latest bios its quicker but still slow compared to intel

From turning on it can take up to 10 seconds before it posts ? I am on MSI tomahawk be good to know what other peeps get with cold post

:confused:

Code: 
Startup finished in 4.768s (kernel) + 1.393s (userspace) = 6.162s

Regards post I guess it depends on what hardware you have connected to how long it takes to go through the post sequence.
 
Helps improve performance when you are running virtual machines, otherwise it makes 0 difference whether enabled or not. I keep it disabled anyway since I will never need it.

Without it enabled things like Virtualbox / VMware wont run so if you use VM's, Yes if not , No.

Yes you need to enable it or VMWare will not work. Bit of a pain but its there.
