So i have a beast of a computer, but boot time is really long. From what i understand its memory training since dram light is on whenever i turn on the pc. It always boots but it takes a min or 2 to boot to Windows

Specs:
Ryzen 9 9950x3d
ASrock 9070xt Steel Legend
Asus Rog Strix X870-a
G.Skill Ripjaws M5 NEO 6000MHz DDR5 64GB RGB
M.2 WD Green SN350 NVMe 2TB
NZXT ATX 3.1 1200W 80+ Gold

#

It was quicker befor, it took me like a secound to boot, but now suddenly its slow. I think it might be my m.2 since its a real slow ssd, but it might also be something on my computer that is effecting my computer?

#

Actually it might also be a bios driver probleme. Because come to think of it, it didnt start happening after i updated the drivers

I think it’s your drive. WD green isn’t known for speed or reliability

Hm i did boot up like under 30sec befor. But i am going to upgrade my ssd this month. Iv been looking at that mp700pro

#

Im also going to relief my ocd, because my head is killing me for not using 4 sticks of ram

#

64gb is like overkill, but 128gb is just way to much. But it will make my ocd happy

#

I know im going to get a lower clock on the ram, but i did try playing at a lower memory clock, around where it whould be maybe, and fps was the same

id recommend against a gen 5 ssd. they're ludicrously overkill and way more expensive than you would need

#

Its actually not that more expensive the a gen 4

#

Besides, im going for a overkill pc

#

Iv now orderd a sett of ram and a m.2 ssd

It’s a complete waste of money

#

I mean wasent the 9950x3d also a overkill?@turbid condor

turbid condor Jun 11, 2025, 1:06 PM

#

Overkill, yes. Waste of money? Debatable.
A gen 5 ssd, is a complete waste of money though

I do alot of work. Rendering and content creating

#

I also do streaming

#

I also play games that has alot of preloading if shaders. So im tired of waiting for them to preload

turbid condor Jun 11, 2025, 1:18 PM

#

That is slightly more reason

#

I was going to get the 990 pros 4tb but then i realised i had a gen5 slot. So why not get a gen 5 and utelise the slot

So update on the problem. The problem was the new bios driver. I Flashbacked to the older one, it fixed it
