How long should bootup Memory check take?

[Jase]

I upgraded my PC a while ago and noticed that it takes longer to boot.

When I turn on the PC the amber LED on the Motherboard which indicates memory check takes close to a minute, after that the rest iof the checks are done quickly and into windows in no time.

I heard that it can be slow depending on hardware but just wanted to check there's not an issue.

Hardware :

Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Hero
64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium 6000MHz AMD Expo DDR5
Ryzen 7800X3D

Cheers

Yeah a minute is very normal for ddr5, but you can look into memory context restore.

I tried that made no difference really so I'll leave as is, thanks

I just timed it

From pressing the power button till the windows 11 password picture screen took 25 seconds

I just loaded optimised settings from the BIOS and it now loads in 22 seconds... No idea what the difference was.

With these at recommended timings on the RAM it will take around 60 seconds. (CTRL + ALT + DEL, Task Manager then go to "Start Up" and it will give you the boot time).

If you drop the memory timings to the non-overclocked values AKA don't select EXPO or anything like that, the boot time is reduced to 10 seconds.

Thanks it says last BIOS time 14.9 seconds

TBH I don't know much about this sort of thing so just loaded optimised setting option in the BIOS and thats what I got.
