I seem to have around 10 seconds before I get the bios screen
Just a quick update after i played around with the settings i am still unable to get my temps any lower so i am going to keep my settings of 4.4Ghz @ 1.345 Vcore with XMP enabled......
I think maybe i did not get a great Chip, on a plus note gaming temps are around 45-60°C most if not all the time in game and only seems to spike to the late
60s when loading a new game or opening another program on my other screen.
Hopefully this will not do any long term damage to the CPU.

If I unplug my WD 3TB drive I get bang on 20 seconds.
It's around 10 seconds to bios load screen and then 10 to windows
With the data drive in its 30 seconds. I know it's not a big thing but wonder what is causing it as it's not set to load anywhere in the bios
Also tried the other SATA ports
20 seconds from power on to Windows 10 Log in screen

Strange. Same as what I get if I disable my 3TB data drive. Gonna test with other drives
Its going to be initialising that drive somehow.
Check in the BBS properties i think its called.
In the BIOS in the boot menu.

got it sorted - 12 second boot time now
MIT->Advanced Memory Settings->Memory Boot Mode (Fast Boot ON). This Remove 10 sec delay before BEEP.
Bios Features->Fast Boot->UltraFastBoot
Windows 8/10 Features-> Windows 8/10
CSM SUPPORT-> Disbaled (if you have UEFI GOP on graphics card)

ha ha i have not tried! just enjoying a rapid boot time!
you can always flick to the 2nd bios ?
Soldato
Not sure right now I am out. But it's a duel bios PC. Also if you are worried you can just pull the battery for 10 mins
Or clear settings. It's in the manual

IF your using fast boot you can open the Gigabyte APP up in windows and tell it to restart and go to bios. I cant remember what app its in as i havent had it installed in ages, its either in the Bios Update app or maybe theres actually a fastboot app. If you mess up an overclock and you cant get into windows then flicking the bios switch is also a good option, i always keep my second bios set with onboard graphics as its main display also which comes in handy when you mess up your GPU bios and want to reflash it.
Soldato
Yes you can. It's called fast boot. I guess that's what is for.
Do you guys disable that windows fast boot thing? Seems your getting quite slow boot times, 10 second before bios beep is mad. I get about 4 seconds before the beep and then about another 8 to get to desktop. I thought mine was quite slow looking at some peoples in tech videos.

I am now getting 10 - 12 seconds straight into windows. Skipping the bios screen.
Hi guys I've just picked one of these up from OCUK on the bgrade deal (on a budget for the new build). As usual with the b grade stuff theres no cd. I was wondering if anyone who has the cd could advise if everything thats on it is avilable on the apps to download from the gigabyte site?
I see they have a lot/most? But I dont know if everthing is up there.

I don't think anyone uses the cd.
